I'd like to *gasp* congratulate *choke* Steven Harper *retch* for his new position on the Afghanistan mission. I'm not a fan of him or his government, but he's starting to act as a real leader should on this issue. As far as I'm concerned there's not going to be a military solution to the...

I finally got around to watching Sicko by Michael Moore and it's a great picture. He's an antidote to all the lies and propaganda fomented by the business elite in America who don't want the population in general to realize how badly they're getting screwed. And for those who dispute this claim...

Like the US adminstration that it admires so much the Harper Conservatives have taken Canada down the road to totalitarianism and away from democracy. While they didn't rig the 2006 election, the Conservative justification for changing the government was complete fabrication. We have an even...

Unlike the fictional Pinocchio, ours has his chin grow by increments as he tells more lies. http://www.cbc.ca/story/canada/national/2008/02/11/mulroney-schreiber.html According to a repsresentative of the company Mulroney was claiming to be lobbying for in exchange for the $300,000...

Yah, and maybe if you slip on your ruby slippers, click your heels together and wish real hard you'll get back to Kansas too.:lol: This is one of the most moronic things I've read here. What do you think happens to all the C02 produced from burning the billions of tons of fossil fuels over the...

It's been well established that the Republican White House supports the use of physical and mental abuse against those it deems a threat, but some top Republicans also feel using some of the same coersive and abusive behaviour against the youth of America is acceptable...

You want answer, how's this, I live below the poverty line and don't even have a credit card. I probably have an environmental footprint a fraction of yours. <SNIP: FOUL LANGUAGE REMOVED>

According to the GW deniers the world is getting colder, kind of the same way the tobacco companies used to claim smoking was good for you.

Well said gerry.

What a load of nonsense going on here. CO2 is a greenhouse gas and higher concentrations in the atmosphere do coincide with elevated temperatures on the planet. During the Snowball Earth period about 600 million years ago most of the planets surface was covered in ice stopping CO2 uptake from...

Give me a break, the fossil fuel industry introduces millions of barrels of oil, millions of litres of natural gas and thousands of tons of coal into the environment each day. Al Gores level of consumption is nothing remarkable in a country with many people who have a level of wealth far above...

What myth? Human activity puts billions of tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere each year, that's undisputable. There's widespread evidence for Global Warming, the link is clear. It's been well established that the oil lobby is behind the funding for the attack on Global Warming as I...

Al Gore never took a vow of poverty, if Bush and Cheney can get wealthy from oil and war then Gore can do as he pleases as he works to build an altrnative to the sick and tired economic structure that is killing the planet.

This isn't about herecy, it's about an industry using the same techniques and in many cases the same mercenary "specialists" as the Tobacco industry did to prolong their market as long as possible. All the "scientists" you talk about who are attacking the science behind Global Warming are...

It's just a few holdouts who dispute the facts now, even Bush admits Global Warming is a fact and human activity is responsible. Unlike with the cancer-tobacco link it's hard to deny the changes taking place on the planet, but I'm sure that even after the Arctic icecap is gone during the...

As opposed to George Bush who never did go to Vietnam (same for Cheney who got five draft defererments) and was APPOINTED by the Supreme Court in 2000 to the Presidency. Men who have also lied about a threat to the US and started a war that has brought them personal wealth through...

As opposed to what, the man of the people sitting in the White House in Gore legitimate place. Bush comes from money much older than Gores and has been part of the same industry for decades that is responsible for most of the Global Warming problem. Al Gore served in Vietnam as a Army...

What are you a sociopath, this isn't a farce and people feel strongly about the issue because of the serious consequences for all of us. Go back to the joke forum where you belong.

I'm not big on hypocrisy either, but it's a matter of scale. Gores chunk of the Global warming problem is tiny when compared to men who are making $billions selling products that put even more billions of tons of greenhouse gas into the air every year. I say tax the hell out of the petrochemical...

The entire western half of North America is more than local. Looking at individual years isn't going to tell you much but like I said we haven't had winters cold enough to cause major die-offs in the pine beetle population for two decades. It requires several weeks of of -35C to -40C to kill...
