    Ford down Harper next

    We got rid of one corrupt and abusive politician with Ford being removed, now it's time for Harper to go. Canadians can't stand Ford Over 80% of respondents agree Ford needed to go. Harper shows the same contempt for rules and respect for the democratic process federally, we should remove him...

    Arctic near ice free in a few years.

    I get that this is just a game for some people, everything is in fact, it's the definition of being a sociopath. People are already dying and the rest of us are being put in serious jeopardy by people who are functionally incapable of caring about anything but playing "the game", this entire...

    Arctic near ice free in a few years.

    **** you asshole, this subforum is full of the bull**** from the deniers here and this is the only response to an issue that could very well leave most if not all of us without the ability to live.

    Arctic near ice free in a few years.

    Nathan Currier: Saving the Arctic Ice: Greenpeace, Greenwashing and Geoengineering (#1) Basically I think this says that changes in Arctic temperature could result a new hole in the ozone layer making living in northern latitudes much more of a health risk...this is why you don't let lobbyists...

    Arctic near ice free in a few years.

    The ice volume at this years summer minimum is 50% less of what it was just five years ago in 2007. Almost certainly the Arctic will be mostly ice free within a few years with a small area to the north and west of Greenland still with sea ice for several decades longer. Some of the projected...

    Electric Cars Have Twice the ‘Global Warming Potential’ of Traditional Vehicles

    Wow, would you look at this, Lithium-ion batteries are about to become much more capable both in terms of how fast they can be charged and how much energy they can hold, making electric cars a suitable replacement for IC vehicles. http://www.pnl.gov/news/release.aspx?id=807 We also sell off...

    Electric Cars Have Twice the ‘Global Warming Potential’ of Traditional Vehicles

    Welcome to the moron zone... The whole idea is to use other, non-carbon intensive sources of electricity to provide all power in the future, and electric cars charged with power produce no emissions. So electric cars charged from getothermal(of which millions of Americans now use)...

    Denial site

    Like I said, if you lack a conscience then it's all just fun and games, you obviously don't give a damn that rapid climate change is associated with mass extinction in the geological record.

    Denial site

    When you go through the list of denialist BS threads started by Locutus here it's amazing. Makes you wonder what planet people like that live on. So while the poles rapidly melt(about as fast as the worst case scenarios) and we're already dealing with serious weather produced by climate change...

    This summer may see first ice-free North Pole

    Arctic Sea Ice The Arctic sea ice volume is at less than 4,000 km^3, less than 1/3 of what it was 30 years ago. Which makes having a pinned thread on how the globe is cooling completely insane...or par for the course for this forum. Some reality from Suzuki...

    Denial site

    So while this site basically is saying climate change isn't happening- otherwise why would all the denial anti-science be pinned at the top- we've got the lowest level of Arctic sea ice since about 120,000 years ago, heading to a summertime ice free Arctic very soon. If anyone gives you BS on...

    Denial site

    Given the seriousness of this issue and the damage done already, and the significant risk of cataclysmic climate change, it's disturbing that there isn't much better moderating being done on this forum. It's being run in the name of Canada and reflects very poorly on our nation.

    Denial site

    Denial site is the wrong term, deranged site is probably better. We're already putting billions of tons a year of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere with dramatic changes on climate already. There are trillions of tons of a very powerful greenhouse gas methane held in ice in tundra and...
