I wrote a short story once...

It was about a Sargent named Jack Baker. During the War he leads 12 pastry chefs into battle.

The title?

Baker's Dozen :)

They give homeless Canadians a 39 year life expectancy.

10 years shorter than Chad - which is the lowest at birth life expectancy on earth.


every scientific prediction re climate is coming true and more.

you are fake news


Spoken like a true Trump.

Notice I didn't add the "ite?"

Maybe this might put it in more of a perspective.

Um, it's not really a prediction when you have previous climate shifts to draw from. Nor does that prove in anyway, shape or form that humans are the driving cause.

You see, your faith in computer models is disturbing because it assumes you assume that we know everything about how our planet works re: climate.
For example, we know that continental drift and mountain growth and erosion have direct impacts on the climate. And yes I know, those things change by mere millimeters a year but here's the thing. Mountains are huge and continents are massive. We have absolutely no way of measuring how much of an impact, if any, those three things have had over the last 300-500 years.

And no matter how you try and slice it, volcanic activity is responsible for more than 6.5x the CO2 production as human activity. The math supports it.

So other than merely putting off the inevitable, what exactly are we supposed to accomplish with all this ridiculous CO2 mitigation along with the associated carbon/pricing/taxes/fees? Especially since the primary power generation replacement appears to be methane.
Now, I don't know about you but, if my true aim was to reduce GHG emissions, I sure as hell wouldn't be replacing CO2 with something 25x more potent. But that's just the science-y sounding bullshit denier in me talking.

I'll stop you there.

If there were any scientific evidence that climate change was incorrect the 5 major oil companies being sued for it would use it as a defense.

You cannot use it in a court of law because it has been conclusively proven and is supported by every expert in every field that has studied it.

The oil companies cannot claim it is false because they have already admitted it is true and have themselves corroborated the findings with their own research.

Enjoy being among the last humans on Earth to come to a proper understanding of climate change. I remember talking to your grand father who thought that lead in gasoline was harmless. YOu are every bit as smart as him.

Uh huh. Just like all the experts who said tobacco was harmless. Just like all the experts telling us that Monsanto's DNA level manipulation of our food sources is completely harmless.
Oh, and uh by the way. Attempting to use Trumpisms like "every expert in every related field" is pathetic because we know that ain't the case. 32% dipwad. THAT is your consensus and it has not gone up. In fact, the numbers have gone down recently.
Once again the math CLEARLY supports the fact that volcanoes generate about 6.5x the CO2 that humans produce on an annual basis. Your argument isn't with me, the oil companies or anyone else. You argument is with math. And being you're so obviously a leftard, I can safely assume math ain't exactly one of your strong suits.
The flawed methodology they used to determine volcanic output is glaringly obvious as well. It's a wee bit disingenuous to ONLY measure the output of the volcanoes you can see and NOT extrapolate the data like they do for their climate models, for those volcanoes and related structures they can't see.

The "science is settled" argument is a non-starter because rarely if ever in the history of science has anything ever been "settled". Inaccurate computer climate models do not prove jack shit either. They are only as relevant as the data you have available. Meaning if you're missing a mechanism that you're unaware of, your models are going to be flawed. As every single one of them has been to date. It also means when you acquire data through flawed methodology, you're models are going to be flawed. As every single one of them has been to date.

It's Jinentonix man.

He's just an angry bag of hammers.
And you're about as sharp as a bag of marshmallows.

What's wrong with GMO's?

they've modified the food to have pesticides in it. Then we eat it. pesticides and all.

in other cases, they modify the food to be resistant to pesticides so they can crop dust the fields. ultimately it is the same result, we end up eating the pesticides.

Traditional methods of genetic manipulation, no problem. Where I have a problem is when they start splicing man-made chemicals in the DNA of our food sources. But don't worry. Every single scientist involved in this says it's perfectly safe and since a bunch of scientists who know who's buttering their bread said it's safe, it must be true.
After all, a scientist would never, ever lie just to make some serious cash.

Wynne gets an earful in Ottawa town hall

It was no leisurely skate on the Rideau Canal for Premier Kathleen Wynne as she took her town hall road show to Ottawa.

As at previous forums in Toronto and Brampton last fall, Wynne faced some tough questions from the public Thursday evening on a slew of policy matters.
“The violence in our schools is beyond control,” fumed a retired teacher named Pat, who said her former colleagues are frightened for their safety and that of their students.

“We’re losing our jobs all across the province,” said one man, noting his girlfriend lost hers as a result of a store closure triggered by the recent increase of the hourly minimum wage increase to $14 from $11.60 and likening Ontario to “Soviet Russia.”
“What about elder abuse?” said a 76-year-old senior named Shirley, referring to problems in Ontario nursing homes.
An Algonquin College student named Brett worried about the “disturbing trend of anti-Semitism” on campuses.
Another man, who had been aggressively heckling, delivered a rambling screed about how the province’s investment in child-care spaces was tantamount to the government wanting to supplant parents in raising kids.
Looking slightly incredulous, Wynne wondered if he were asking her about “the evil of child care.”
“Women can’t get into the workforce if there’s no child care in their community,” she told him, before touting the 100,000 new child-care spaces her government plans to deliver.
Several others in the capacity crowd of 360 people at Ben Franklin place in suburban Nepean expressed alarm about the looming legalization of marijuana.
“What’s your plan to control all these things,” asked one man worried that children will have even more access to weed.
“I appreciate the concerns,” said Wynne, explaining that the LCBO will control all recreational marijuana in 40 standalone stores and online when federal legalization takes effect in July.
“The education that is going to happen is going to be critical. We need to make sure that our streets are actually safer,” she added.
It was the first town hall Wynne has hosted since the Jan. 1 launch of the higher minimum wage and the new free pharmacare program for everyone under 25, and the premier frequently circled back to those two issues.
“Having a living wage creates a stronger society,” she said, defending the hike.
Wynne also said she was hopeful the “OHIP+” prescription drug plan would serve as a model for other provinces to expand health services.
Moderated by Algonquin College president and CEO Cheryl Jensen, and with costs covered by taxpayers, it was a government event instead of a partisan Liberal rally.
Indeed, Wynne never once mentioned her party, her political rivals, Progressive Conservative Leader Patrick Brown and NDP Leader Andrea Horwath, or the June 7 election.
The premier said she would do her next town hall in Thunder Bay on Jan. 31.
