Fricken hilarious how whenever I post an actual proven scientific rebuttal to Mentalfart's claims he skips right over them will not respond. I mean I know he cannot refute what I say but I want to laugh at him trying.

Climate Change it has been with us since time immemorial, Alaska once a tropical forest
and so on. I don't deny that. What I am against is those sanctimonious believer who have
turned a natural occurrence into a religion and revenue source for causes to raise money.
Its not about the land or air or water its about having a cause, a religion as it were where
we all must believe what the pack believes pr face public scorn and regulation.
All must believe and pay homage and tithe to the anti carbon God, but it goes to general
revenue first to be cleansed by the high priest of finance.
Give me a break.
Now that is not to say we as citizens should just pollute the landscape. We should be mindful
of what we're doing. That does not mean we should all stampede like lemmings and jump
over the cliff opening our wallets to the flavor of the month

All I see now is green grass.

There used to be snowy winters around here. Lake Ontario used to freeze over, too. It's been decades since either was a regular occurance in Southern Ontario.

My mother had old photos from the farm that she grew up on in the Niagara area with snow up to the car roofs. I used to be considered to be a "snow belt" but no longer. The only time that I've seen that much snow around here was that infamous storm when Mel Lastman called in the Army, back in 1999. There is a photo of me holding my almost newborn daughter in front of a seven foot high drift on the front lawn. That was a freak occurance that has not repeated since.

p.s. I was raised in Quebec and I know what real snow looks like.


I spent a lot of growing up around Lake Ontario and Lake Huron, I never remember Lake Ontario freezing over, Not saying it didn't, just never saw it, and Lake Huron rarely, which is why that part of Ontario is part of the snow belt; the air has to pick up moisture from liquid water. I also have never seen Lake Superior freeze over either, but I have seen solid ice from Cape Breton to St. John's NL in the winters of '13 - '14 and '14 - '15. And snow? This is what I came home to one day in Feb '15, the second last major storm of that year.

Lake Ontario froze over all the way across a couple of years back but it was the first time it did so in decades. If you fly over Lake Superior in winter, it s completely frozen over, every year as is most of Huron. Navigation is completely shut down in winter.

The coldest that I have ever been in my life was on the deck of a destroyer in Nova Scotia in late January, with the steam rising from the water around you, going right through your clothing, your flesh, your bones and freezing you to the marrow.

That was probably the same year we saw an extended period of -30, "sea smoke" they call it, the same year my truck froze up and my daughter blew the head gasket and gave me a week long project, in an unheated garage, too small to fit the truck.


I used to fly over Superior quite often, like twice daily, and never saw it frozen completely when you could see through the cloud layer, there would still be large areas of open water, likewise Lake Huron. Navigation would certainly be shut down because water freezes progressively from the shoreline outward, and thaws likewise. But the brackish waters need a temperature of at least -8 to freeze, and they have to be relatively calm to do so, as the Bay of Fundy does frequently, so it would have to be frightfully cold for the North Atlantic to freeze at these lower latitudes, because calm is even more rare.


BTW, I do remember very mild winters in all locales from Southern and Northern Ontario, Manitoba Saskatchewan, Alberta, and NS, as well as some miserably cold ones. I remember -40 in Toronto and -58 in Manitoba, (my whiskey froze and my bottle of gin actually cracked). I have also experienced some miserably hot summers in all the same places too. Forest fires in NS are pretty rare, but they do happen, and probably have for eons. One did block my escape from my cabin one year, but the Atlantic stopped it from spreading to Ireland and it finally burnt itself out.

I grew up to about three or four in Rainy River District, Fort Francis. Great place to get some roots. I recollect the strteet number and name someday.


Wow, I still remember my Grandmother's phone number, 1181, I had to give it to the Little Current operator because they had only just upgraded from the crank phones, Kagawong still had them though.

you can freeze the water out of wine to about 24 percent at - 40
:)
and you can walk on the water
