Why Paris climate summit was a useful fraud

You may end up using more energy in Kapuskasing than people in Toronto do, just to keep warm in the winter. We are bound by our geography to use more energy than most of the world and it will always be thus.

I posted a challenge to Flossy, that I would post my vehicle gas usage for one year, if he would post his, and he never picked up on it....
That would go also for heating or utilities if not included in his living arrangement.
I'm willing to bet that my carbon footprint is lower than him living in Toronto!

I have had my gasoline consumption ready to post for weeks now!

London breaches air pollution limit for the whole of 2016 in just over seven days

Under EU rules the capital is allowed to exceed the maximum safe levels of nitrous oxide for 18 hours a year – an allocation it had burned through by the peak of the morning rush hour on Friday 8 January.

Putney High Street and Knightsbridge were the first two areas to report breaches. Last year Oxford Street reported a breach within two days of the new year beginning.

Boris Johnson has plans to bring in an “ultra low emission zone” in central London but the plan will not be rolled out until 2020.
Additionally, that rule will not completely ban motor traffic – instead charging the most polluting vehicles £100 a day if they drive in central London.

Both Labour and Conservative 2016 London mayoral candidates Sadiq Khan and Zac Goldsmith have said they would like to pedestrianise Oxford Street – Britain’s most polluted street.

Nitrous oxide? I thought that was supposed to make people giggly and cheerful, not surly and hard-done-by.

Maybe the cloud didn't get out to Bolton.
