    Is 2010 the start of a new decade?

    Do these latest flying regulations make sense?

    So one nut case from the middle east figures he's going to blow up a plane on entry into Detroit. Would these new regulations guarantee that another person with the same idea will be stopped? Does the whole idea make sense or is it just a case of bolting the barn door after the horse has left?

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    I'm not convinced you grasp it either DB. Sun is not solely responsible for the temperature of the earth, the sun provides the heat but the atmosphere maintains it, otherwise we'd be frying up during the day and turn to a block of ice at night. :lol::lol:

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    At first no, but I'll bet eventually when they find the alternatives more painful and more expensive- the sooner we get at it the easier and cheaper it's going to be. :lol::lol:

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    You have it exactly right, I don't know how many times it has to be said before people can get it through their thick heads, but here's one more time. This problem will be solved by ordinary people changing their habits in small ways one kw. or one litre at a time over many years. A few dozen...

    Magnetic pole has absolutely nothing to do with the axis. Who dreams up this kind of sh*t?

    15 passenger vans safe or not?

    Apparently there are some that would like to see these vans banned as school buses due to them being unsafe. There was a very tragic accident in N.B. which occurred late at night in bad road conditions. Is it a little premature to condemn these vans? Have there been other incidents of...

    KEVIN RUDD- Legitimate Politician?

    From what little I know of Kevin Rudd, he comes across as a one in a million as far as politicians are concerned. Straight forward and honest and doesn't take any crap. Am I reading him right?

    Minus 40C at Puntzi, what's the prospects of the demise of the M.P.B.?

    Western Canada is deeply entrenched in a deep freeze. Can we finally hope for a respite from the Mountain Pine Beetle? Apparently they are vulnerable this early in the season.

    The Climate Summit in Copenhagen Must Be Cancelled!

    Perhaps but sometimes changes pick up momentum as they go along. Maybe the person will find he enjoys the walk to the corner store so next week instead of being once it may be twice. He may find he is delighted with the reduced fuel bill, so he puts on a extra sweater and cuts it back 3...

    Chemical fertilizer- Good, bad, necessary?

    Many years ago I was told that it is absolutely impossible to grow all the food required using organic fertilizer, an analogy being similar to what friction does to perpetual motion, you lose a little bit every time you do the process. What's the thinking on this today? Is there good chemical...

    The Climate Summit in Copenhagen Must Be Cancelled!

    I've NEVER said "drastic" lifestyle changes, I have said several times "walk the short distances",cut the thermostat back 2 degrees, turn off unnecessary lights, recycle a bit more (like maybe darning socks instead of throwing them in the garbage and, use the outside clothes line weather...

    Bad places to dump your oil...in days gone by...

    Gov't. does have a slight role to play. I think there are probably enough laws in place to deal with it and Gov't. should insist on enforcement. If not enact one or two more it that's what's really needed and enforce them. Punish the miscreants, otherswise Gov't. should leave it to others to...
