The existing policy is based on faulty theories and in some cases, outright frauds... Which leads to 'the science'; fact is, as every day goes by, the notion that AGW has any real impact (when compared to natural forces) is eroding further and further.

Not true.

The science has been confirmed by an overwhelming majority of climate scientists - most of which have nothing to do with policy.

An overwhelming majority of scientists once believed inn eugenics.

Thankfully, then like now, there were scientists willing to break free from group think.

The greenist people work and live downtown. They earn minimum wage, take public transit and share a one room apartment with 10 other people.

The worst green house gas producers live in a mansion the boonies. They heat with fuel oil or wood and drive for hours to get to work or attend their global warming protests.

Global warming is here. its undeniable and we can't stop it. So we are going to have to adapt. Its not the first time the earth went through a warming phase and a mass extinction event and it won't be the last...

The greenest people are farmers and loggers. We replant what we harvest. All citiots do is consume resources without returning anything to the environment. They do however complain lots about the production of the natural resources that their cities depend on for survival.

You would have to prove the case that a majority of scientists are suffering from group think.

Is agw theory or fact?
Is it proven.
Were are the rising oceans?
Were are the expanding deserts?
Why do we still have winter?

It reminds me years ago seeing a Green Peace activist on TV, being filmed in front of his big log cabin and his SUV sitting in front of his house defending the use of gas-guzzling boats to harass ships at sea; and to think I use a bicycle or walk to work whenever I can.

It also reminds me of the PETA member trying to get me, a vegan, to join PETA while she herself liked McDonald's.

I could go on, but the hypocricy abounds in these movements.

Not to get too far off topic but have you ever tried to maintain a vegan diet outside of a major urban center?

So the have proven the theory then? Last I heard there was no 'smoking gun' proof between climate change happening and CO2 emissions.

The link between climate change and CO2 emissions is as firm as the link between smoking and lung cancer.

No offence bud, I may be missing your point, but I can say in all confidence, it is much easier to do so in rural areas, than urban.

Oh oh...

NO. For you and me it probably is but not for the average person. Reason I asked is because my niece was a vegan when she lived in the city but when she moved to Bella Bella she found that it was impossible to find enough of the right food to survive. I probably should have said remote rather than rural.

When I'd lived in La Malbaie-Pointe-au-Pic, polulation less than 20,000, though even there I still lived in the town centre.

Strange as it might sound coming from a vegan, I actually respect compassionate hunters and those who slaughter animals in the most compassionate manner possible in that especially in isolated and northern areas, a vegan diet might prove difficult.

In short, I'm vegan, but not politically so. I recognize that sometimes it might not be an option. In fact, if a person were eat a vegan diet in town but swittched to a meat-based diet when in more isolated areas and then switched back to vegan when back in town, I'd still consider that person a vegan in principle, since he's showing what compassion he can according to his circumstances.

Gotchya.

What is a compassionate hunter?

Possibly.

rather than a rural-urban divide, it's probably more of a Southern-Northern divide, since a vegan diet might be somewhat more prohibitive up north.

I'm not speaking through experience though seeing that I've never lived extremely far north.

Gotchya.

What is a compassionate hunter?

He doesn't hunt for sport, but for food, and aims to kill, not torture for fun.

My guess is most hunters are compassionate hunters, but I figured I'd mention it to filter out the bad apples.

Again, in the end it's the intent that counts.

... Having a memorial service for the 'hunted' after the fact? Maybe a few cocktails and hors d'oeurves whilst regaling the other mourners with fond memories?

To take an example, I remember one guy who fished for sport, cought the fish, took it home, chopped it up, and chucked it out. As far as I'm concerned, it takes a sick mind to do such a thing.

Fair enough. I do have a sense of humour... sometimes.

Also, knowledge can be an issue too. A person raised on meat might not know where to get his iron when he switches to vegan. I was raised in a hunting family myself, and first switched to vegetarian and actually had to read a few books on the subject before being able to make the transition for good since I did not know where to get my iron at first.

I do that. lol.

It is possible, but you would need an excellent understanding of wild vegetation to do so, and still remain healthy.

On a humourous note, it has been strenuously forwarded that the word vegan, should be added to Anish lexicon, describing a hunter with poor skills, lol.

Cool, I agree with you.

I agree. I see all manner of ignorant and stupid hunting a fishing practices.
