As long as the oil prices stay high but they are low and with more alternative fuel sources coming on to the market the demand for oil is getting less
Oil is only a percentage of Western wealth. Prices mean f-ck all if the products are land locked. Volume is what counts.
Current oil prices are not because of drop of demand but excess supply. There have been no cost efficient fuel sources on the market recently. There no doubt will be at some point in the future but not now.
Will Justine be wearing those warm mittens and toques that were to go to the refugee camps during the interviews?
.. Any thoughts on what those alt energy sources are?
A lot of those kids freeze to death. What do you have against giving them warm clothes?
Wind, solar, tidal, geothermal are just scribbling in the margins. Fission--we've probably only got enough fuel for 50-100 years. Fusion is perpetually ten years away. Hydro is good--where it's available. There are solutions, but none of them are as easy or cheap as oil, so we're just going to have to put with raising the temperature a couple of degrees. If it gets too bad we double-down on alternative energy sources and try to geo-engineer our way out of higher temps.
Is that before or after they were shot, raped and buried alive?
Any of this sinking in yet?... They have far bigger problems right in front of them that might be considered a wee bit more compelling
All good ideas and with some technical advances possibly viable.
All that's left after making them economically viable is to develop, construct and implement the nation-wide infrastructure required.
More compelling than dying? they are in the refugee camps, so they are out of harm's way for the moment as far as ISIS goes. Next up, their next needs are food and shelter. If you don't care about the refugees, why would you support the mission to start with?
Canada's efforts in the ME are directed at preventing these wholesale genocides from happening at all.
What Trudeau suggested shamed all Canadians, it was akin to offering someone with a slit jugular a bandaid to help stem the bleeding from a gushing wound
Well, in Trudeau's defence, I don't think there was an appreciation of genocide when he made those comments. I know, because I (like Trudeau) opposed the mission originally. Although my reasons were not as egalitarian as Trudeau's. Mine were more along the lines of "Mulsims killing Muslims? I fail to see the problem."
Once it became apparent that they were genocidally targetting the Yazidis and the Kurds and the Christians I reluctantly climbed on board.
When I was in Afghanistan I brought a bunch of soccer stuff over for the orphans. I set it up with the local padre at the base to deliver them (I wanted a snapshot for all the folks who donated back home). Anyways for vague reasons I couldn't go, and my stuff just sat there. I finally made some noise about it and the padre told me that the woman running the orphanage would take everything back and sell it for her personal gain the minute whitie left. They found out, because she'd even stolen the blankets frmo the kids and a couple of them froze to death one night. But, such is respect for life in that hellhole, that it still took two months of intense lobbying to get rid of her. She claimed she hadn't done anything wrong. Good times!
His comments were made after it was made public that ISIS had chased a sizeable population into the mountains where it was common knowledge they would perish.
Airlifting some mittens means little when there is no food or water available and ISIS is initiating excursions into the mountains to exterminate these people.
On that note, you and I hear only what is released long after the fact... Trudeau is in the business of needing to know and if he isn't in the loop, he should really think twice before he opens his yap and makes a fool of himself
You may have, but Justine didn't
Sh*tty story, but I sincerely take my hat off to you for your efforts and humanity
