Yes the bank of your children and grandchildren's labor .
And you say you are against slavery all the while condemning the above to a life of it .
Cheers .

You're are obviously an intelligent person. Labour rules, always and forever, you have too raise your arm and knock on the door and it will open and spill the horns capacity upon you. If you owe a bank you are a slave and you have been bred to service an account that counts because you can't.

Let's not forget that this is all predicated on the theory that increased burning of fossil fuels will cause catastrophic warming and rising oceans. Keep your eye on two things - the satellite temperature record (no warming for 18 years and counting) is one. That record is difficult to tamper with by making continuous "adjustments" or combining dubious ocean temperatures. The other thing to watch is the canary in the coalmine for rising oceans - the Florida Keys. That entire landmass is an average of only 5 to 10 feet above sea level....no signs of Armageddon yet! By the time it's proven - and evident to call - that the human contribution to Climate Change is a minor one - we will have expended trillions of dollars is transferring money to "poor" countries and our country will be littered with windmill junkyards and solar panel eyesores. Can you just imagine what those trillions COULD have been used for?


Yes - call me a skeptic.

I was JUST down in the Florida Keys and during a tour we were told land mass is actually growing and more keys are being formed due to the mangroves capturing silt and sand from tides.

Perhaps the tour guide did not get the word.

GROWING!

When you've lost the support of Bill McKibben on pollution/climate change, your toast......


Stop swooning over Justin Trudeau. The man is a disaster for the planet


Donald Trump is so spectacularly horrible that it’s hard to look away – especially now that he’s discovered bombs. But precisely because everyone’s staring gape-mouthed in his direction, other world leaders are able to get away with almost anything. Don’t believe me? Look one country north, at Justin Trudeau.

Look all you want, in fact – he sure is cute, the planet’s only sovereign leader who appears to have recently quit a boy band. And he’s mastered so beautifully the politics of inclusion: compassionate to immigrants, insistent on including women at every level of government. Give him great credit where it’s deserved: in lots of ways he’s the anti-Trump, and it’s no wonder Canadians swooned when he took over.

But when it comes to the defining issue of our day, climate change, he’s a brother to the old orange guy in Washington.

Not rhetorically: Trudeau says all the right things, over and over. He’s got no Scott Pruitts in his cabinet: everyone who works for him says the right things. Indeed, they specialize in getting others to say them too – it was Canadian diplomats, and the country’s environment minister, Catherine McKenna, who pushed at the Paris climate talks for a tougher-than-expected goal: holding the planet’s rise in temperature to 1.5C (2.7F).

Last month, speaking at a Houston petroleum industry gathering, he got a standing ovation from the oilmen for saying: “No country would find 173bn barrels of oil in the ground and just leave them there.”

Yes, 173bn barrels is indeed the estimate for recoverable oil in the tar sands. So let’s do some math. If Canada digs up that oil and sells it to people to burn, it will produce, according to the math whizzes at Oil Change International, 30% of the carbon necessary to take us past the 1.5C target that Canada helped set in Paris.
