Hey Gilbert, you can always join ELF.. :lol:

I don't think the world is that bad off.. I mean in 100 years the earth's temp was increased 1.6 degrees.

O.K. next 100 years 3.6 degrees.. still don't see a problem..

Canadian farmers are not complaining.. bunker crops.

Name ONE instance where throwing money around has fixed an issue.
Just locally, Celgar pulp mill in Castlegar and Teck Cominco in Trail.
There was quite a pile of money spent on cleaning up. Now you might get a slight whiff of mill gas in Castlegar instead of nearly choking on it and Trail is actually growing green stuff on the hills around it for a change.

Yeah, but TS, it ain't even neutral. If you people would read the link I posted, you'd see the gov't is losing money on the issue, not gaining.

But I guess Petros and Skookumchuk don't like reading about stuff that contradicts them.

Yea I read that. Tell it to the dippers that claim the government is raking in the loot from it. But don't for get that many of them use MF's math where if yo got a 5% raise last year but 2% this year that is a 3% cut.

Spoken from pure ignorance. There's loads of information around if you can pry yourself away from the denial hype.

So what happened to the chems that were once aerosols? Tucked neatly away and stockpiled to appear clean?

I did, DUH. There is no such thing as clean smelting DUH. Toxic waste is still produced and stored for future generatuions and polar bears to deal with DUH.

I asked you where do the toxins go. They go into improved holding ponds. Quaint.

Don't give me your bull**** that sweeping **** under the rug is an environmental improvement. DUH

And I gave you the links to Teck and Celgar so you could see for yourself.
If you have information that shows that Teck and Celgar are ditching their effluent somewhere, please post it.

And yes, holding it IS an improvement over letting it loose in the rivers and atmosphere. DUH

That's where I learned about improved holding ponds that won't leach into the Columbia for a few extra years. What if a ploar bear swims in those toxic ponds?

Obviously you haven't gathered much information on the issue at all, just listened to the hype on one side of the issue.
Same for the ignorant jackasses that deny climate change. lol

So? Everyone and anyone can have a baseless opinion.


I do not deny climate change, in fact i embrace it for it's proof of Darwin's theory, and watch bemused as the Ants struggle to survive while still laying too many eggs and feeding other less productive Ants so that they can also breed. All this while the planet does it's thing as it has done for millennia, not giving a **** about the Ants.
Sheeple do not like reality one bit:lol:
