Our latest view into the ugliness that underlies the supposedly lily-white conservative party(based on how much they condemn anyone who isn't them). Eve Adams apparently isn't waiting until being a conservative MP is brought to the same legal standing as Royalty and is instead exercising her...

A guy that seems to think that viewing child porn is Ok also thinks the PM is a predator, helps explain why our political system is so ****ed up. Tom Flanagan, Former Harper Adviser, Opens Up About Prime Minister

Thanks to Rob Ford we know know that something that comes across as complete sociopathy is instead due to obesity. All the lying, substance abuse, contempt for the public, slander, absence of office and more is all down to Ford being grossly overweight. He just needs to lose a few pounds and he...

You can see in the video part of the way down this blog how closely Stephen Harper has connected himself to Rob Ford. Montreal Simon: Rob Ford, the Mob, and the Harper Connection It's time for Canada to flush the kind of cynical hypocrisy represented by modern "conservatism" away. This piece...

It's obvious that Ford has been on a self-destructive path for a long time, now he's going to start paying a legal price for his irresponsibility. Daniel Dale, Toronto Star Reporter, To Sue Rob Ford Over Pervert Accusation

Sex offender Michael Stanley located in U.S. - Edmonton - CBC News I really wonder why this guy hasn't been given dangerous offender status and held indefinitely if he's unable to stop being so violent. Sex offender Michael Stanley has 'horrendous record' - Saskatchewan - CBC News

I think you can tell from the metaphorical poo flinging here we haven't evolved that far from our primate roots.

Quantum theory gives us powerful tools for understanding the world at the very small level, and as modern electronics are based on quantum theory how are you hooking into the internet if it doesn't work, by telegraph? 10 Real-world Applications of Quantum Mechanics : Discovery Channel

It's already more than 100 years old, that's the big lie of the climate change deniers, that climate change science is new and unsupported by evidence. Svante Arrhenius went through laborious calculations in the late 1800s to determine what would happen if you doubled the concentration of CO2 in...

It's nuclear fission, not fusion. The technology is there, it just needs to be built. I'm talking about hope for the future, all I really see from the other side is fear driven denial. Your Fred Singer science really doesn't add up. Long-Term Global Warming Trend Continues : Image of the Day

This is only exciting for residents of 2-D world. For those of us living in the real 3-D world where ice has depth as well as width and length, the Arctic ice cover is still way down from several decades ago and vulnerable to further losses in years where the conditions favor less single year...

Geothermal is best in areas of seismic activity, and is also associated with accelerating it. Not a good combination. How Does Geothermal Drilling Trigger Earthquakes?: Scientific American That's your responsibility not mine. The energy is there in the form of fissile and fertile elements...

We already have it in the form of molten salt reactors running on the thorium fuel cycle in the slow neutron spectrum and fast spectrum MSRs running on the uranium fuel cycle. We could power the entire world for a year on about 10,000 tons of thorium, which is about how many tons of coal an...

You may be right, but then again we have means of reaching and coordinating people that weren't available just a couple of decades ago. It's only the constant noise by people trying to prevent positive change that's blocking the resolution to this issue I think. For whatever reason they don't...

Except you ignore the obvious, that's it's the now 7 billion of us that are now the major driver of climate change. The "it's just happening, we can't do nuttin' about it" argument is like blaming god for the person you just killed while driving with a blood-alcohol reading of 0.2. It's...

That's an average of the new amount of energy that's in the global system, it's not spread out evenly. It's a huge increase in energy and has acted to significant alter how heat is redistributed around the globe which is what determines climate and at a finer scale weather. And as the system...

The same basic science that gives us modern civilization including the advanced way we're communicating here is behind the science of climate change. It didn't just appear overnight as the work of a few flakes as you claim, it began as far back as the 17th century when scientists(or natural...

It's more complicated than that. Old growth forests are net contributors to CO2 atmospheric content as old trees die and decompose. By cutting down limited expanses of forest and replanting, you're revitalizing that stage of forest growth that consumes the most CO2. And the single year ice had...

You're on the side of industry which tried to claim that things like thalidimide, DDT, Dioxin, PCBs and much more were perfectly safe. When it comes to profit, rampant stupidity often rules. I'm basing my views on the science.

Science courses? And I said foresters, most of my family members specialized in silviculture, the regrowing of forests after logging. That's the problem with making assumptions without facts. Read the IPCC reports, study the work of people like James Hansen and Lonnie Thompson instead of...
