Global Warming and Cold Winters Posted on 15 January 2011 by D.Salmons Guest post by D.Salmons If you were to look out most windows as of this writing, there is a good chance that you would be presented with an image of winter. All around me, winter has sprung, dumping...

Unfortunately, the scope of oil sands expansion that has already been planned and approved can only mean that other sectors of the Canadian economy must do more than their proportional share to reduce emissions. Even if carbon capture and storage (CCS) is actually able to reduce emissions...

Napping for humanity?

I never said they sprung a leak. In fact leaks are the least likely problem - even your dreaded IPCC acknowledges this, lol

Hey, I'm on board for trying all kinds of alternatives in the short term. But it's good to make sure we're not drinking the kool-aid without looking at all the facts.. Even the Pembina Institute in Calgary is looking at all angles.. Key Environmental and Liability Concerns CCS could affect...

This is true. I live in Mississauga and commute to Toronto. Even with ridiculous gas prices and the length of the commute, it still costs more and takes longer to take public transport. I'd rather save the gas and switch, but it's such a horrible alternative right now that I can't - and the...

Okay?? Cutting emissions doesn't mean we will all of a sudden stop producing enough from existing resources.

Do you actually believe making strawman arguments gets you anywhere?

Yea, while I think we all contribute something, it really is the corporations who are doing the most damage. I'm pretty sure they alone can take responsibility and have a reasonably positive effect. Shouldn't this carbon tax be exclusive to them?

The carbon credits thing or cap 'n trade is too elaborate for me. Simply remove a percentage of profit from the company if they don't meet the emissions targets. If they're in the black then they could still make a fair profit even if they go over by a little bit, but they will be motivated to...

Good vid. Always knew there was a pretty interesting case on the denial side regarding ice cores, but never thought of that rebuttal. Feel pretty stupid now considering ice cores are markers for local trends rather than global trends.

House of Commons Science and Technology Committee The Science and Technology Select Committee inquiry reported on 31 March 2010 that it had found that "the scientific reputation of Professor Jones and CRU remains intact". The emails and claims raised in the controversy did not challenge the...

Of course, nothing will convince the most determined climate deniers that 'ClimateGate' was an overblown non-scandal, and that the research done by the scientists at East Anglia University is sound. Not even news that the third major independent investigation into the so-called ClimateGate...

'nuff said.

Reading comprehension. It's a beautiful thing.

C'mon let's face the reality here. A healthy majority are just taking advantage of the system, full stop. Make them learn how to earn their keep like Ayn Rand would. I luvs her so much!
