With all of the fighting going on, on our planet, I think it is time for us to elect a government that represents us all. Yes, a One World Government with one leader who decides everything for us. We humans have shown that we cannot get along in our current system of many governments. Here is my proposal.
Ultimate being/Leader: Mickey Mouse
Finance: Scrooge McDuck
Defense: Buzz Lightyear
Education: Little Einsteins
Health: Popeye
Science: Gyro Gearloose
Environment: The Great Prince of the Forest
Early Children Development: Mary Poppins
Transportation: Lightning McQueen
Law Enforcement: Quick Draw McGraw and his side kick, Baba Looey
Oceans and Fisheries: Mr. Ray
Agriculture: The Tweedy’s
Energy: Charles Montgomery Burns

Oh Danny Boy
The pipes the pipes are calling...
Looks like NL Premiere Danny Williams might want to take another look at the numbers before he continues to yell and scream at Prime Minister Harper over the governments proposed equalization formula.
CNews:
Newfoundland and Labrador will end up getting $5.6 billion more under the federal government's proposed equalization formula than under the status quo, says a Memorial University professor.
And if you come, when all the flowers are dying
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me.
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy.... Oh boy...

Too many business's have joined the "church of Climatology" crowd and are now going green. Doing so is GOLD in many minds. They have caved into the hype and pressure being placed on them from the uninformed citizens and by people like Al Gore and David Suzuki. It is easy for these two men amongst many other wealthy people to get on this band wagon. They are not the ones that will suffer with a loss of income due to job cuts and a down turn in the economy caused by their rhetoric and lies.
Now let me introduce you to a business man who does deserve your RESPECT.
Bob Murray, founder and CEO of Murray Energy Corporation: A CEO With A Spine
"Some wealthy elitists in our country," he told the audience, "who cannot tell fact from fiction, can afford an Olympian detachment from the impacts of draconian climate change policy. For them, the jobs and dreams destroyed as a result will be nothing more than statistics and the cares of other people. These consequences are abstractions to them, but they are not to me, as I can name many of the thousands of the American citizens whose lives will be destroyed by these elitists' ill-conceived ‘global goofiness' campaigns."
We certainly need more people like Mr. Murray to come out and tell the truth about what this scam is going to do to the average citizen.

It Ain't Over yet Folks
Another friend of the past liberal government has a warrant out for his arrest in regards to the sponsorship scandal. You do remember the sponsorship scandal don't you? Thats the one that millions of your hard earned tax dollars were stolen from you by Liberal friendly folks. Oh wait that might not be enough detail as there were so many of those things happening back in the late 90's and early y2k years wasn't there. I know... you certainly will remember everyones favorite ex Prime Minister showing us his golf ball collection during his testimony at the Gomery Inquiry right? I know how bad our memories are, especially when it comes to politics so I will forgive you... a little, if you have forgotten.
CBC NEWS:
An arrest warrant has been issued for former advertising executive Jean Lafleur, one of the key figures in the federal sponsorship scandal, who is facing fraud charges in relation to the program.
Lafleur, the former head of Lafleur Communication Marketing, is facing a 35-count fraud indictment over allegations related to 35 contracts worth $1.6 million.
I know its just pocket change and we should all just move on and all but gosh darn it, I am a conservative and I would really like to see a little more justice in this country.
Conveniently.... Lafleur is MIA and believed to be out of the country. What are the chances that he plans to return any time soon?
Gone too Far
The folks at the "Church of Climatology" are really taking things over the deep end now. A large group including Green Peace, Friends of the Earth and four American cities have filed a lawsuit against the government over its funding of overseas projects that may contribute to climate change. The projects include a pipeline from Chad to Cameroon; oil and natural gas projects in Russia, Mexico, Venezuela and Indonesia; and a coal-fired power plant in China.
Whats even worse is that a federal judge has allowed the lawsuit to go ahead.
White accepted the plaintiffs' argument the National Environmental Policy Act, or NEPA, can apply to the U.S.-backed projects overseas. The law requires environmental assessments of proposed domestic projects. The administration had argued that the agencies were exempt from NEPA.
However, White said he did not have enough information to rule on the question of whether the projects at issue constitute a "major federal action" that would significantly affect the environment _ an important criteria for NEPA.
What I want to know is when is this group going to take China, India and other countries to court for their part. My guess is never, as they know they would be thrown in jail or at least laughed out of those countries for even thinking about it. Our western liberal justice system at work folks. Gotta love it.
Happy as a Pig in the Mud
There could be some truth in that old saying. Scientists in the UK and Canada have found that dirt could very well be good for you. Boosting the immune system as well as stimulating the brain to make you happy. This may explain why every kid in history has eaten at least one handful of dirt!
Lead researcher Dr Chris Lowry said: "These studies help us understand how the body communicates with the brain and why a healthy immune system is important for maintaining mental health.
"They also leave us wondering if we shouldn't all spend more time playing in the dirt."
I have always had my doubts about the value of using the anti bacterial cleaners. My reasoning is basically what these scientists are saying. The more we expose ourselves to, the better off our immune systems will be. By over using anti bacterial cleaners we are not allowing our bodies to build up any resistance to the every day bacteria that we normally encounter day in and day out. I also suspect that those same bacteria build up a resistance to those cleaners and become the super bugs that are becoming more prevalent in our hospitals. I am no scientist by any means, but I do have a bit of common sense and logic left in me. Besides have you ever seen a avid gardener who was not happy muddling away in their dirt?

In case you did not know
Edmonton ROCKS! It is no wonder why we are "The City of Champions". Edmonton is currently hosting the Ford World Men's Curling Championships at Rexal Place. The opening games yesterday set an attendance record and the fans have given the players more than they could ever have imagined.
Taking the Plunge
Anyone who reads this blog at all knows how I feel about human caused climate change. I have been labeled by many, a DENIER. The time has come to admit that I was wrong. Very very wrong. My mistake as with many others was that I focused on the CO2 factor, and not the big picture. Thanks to a little known organization that I stumbled upon, I have been convinced that mans over use of Dihydrogen Monoxide is surely the cause of Human Caused Climate Change. It is also linked to many other problems that plague our planet and the demise of our species. I implore you to go to the following web site and educate yourself on how bad this chemical is and what you can do to help save the planet. DMHO.org

Do Ducks Quack?
I have seen this line used several times as of late in many blogs and it does seem fitting for this post as well.
If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck and waddles like a duck then surely it is a duck!
BILL CURRY
From Saturday's Globe and Mail
OTTAWA — Radical natives are listed in the Canadian army's counterinsurgency manual as a potential military opponent, lumping aboriginals in with the Tamil Tigers, Hezbollah and the Islamic Jihad.
The most recent protest by natives led to arrests and charges yesterday for three men connected to the blockade of Quebec's Highway 117 on March 12 and 13.
The highway is the Abitibi region's main link to the south, and the blockade caused major concern for the residents of Val-d'Or and Rouyn-Noranda.
Among those arrested was Guillaume Carle, the controversial leader of the recently formed Confederation of Aboriginal People of Canada. Mr. Carle led the protest of about 50 people, many of whom were carrying rifles.
Moral of the story... If you don't want to be mistaken for a duck, don't act like one...

Dear Iran
I offer you 186 reasons to release the 15 British soldiers you have in your custody. They all look similar to this one.
I should note that these are but one of the weapons that the Brits could unleash. How many of your citizens are you willing to sacrifice, while playing your silly version of Iran Roulette?

Hear Hear
The truth is that it is very easy to criticize in hindsight.
(sarc)Perhaps I should sue my Grand Parents for selling off the family farm back in 1973. Although my great grand father only paid $480.00 for the 160 acres in 1891, my grand parents sold it for a mere $70,000.00. The same land is now worth millions as Edmonton and area expands and develops. They basically gave away the farm so to speak. How dare they! They should have known better! Oh wait, My Grand father passed away in 1973 and my Grand mother in 1994. I guess the government should apologize for them and pay out the difference to the rest of our family.... It would be the right thing to do.........(/sarc)
Holding our current governments accountable, both morally and financially for deeds done many many many years ago, amounts to the same ridiculous assertions as I made above about my family. They were different times and I am sure that in a hundred years the people will look back and say the same kind of things about some of our decisions we make today.
Two Questions...
1: How is it possible for this to happen in the first place?
2: How in the world did this child survive such a fall?
Nothing short of a MIRRACLE is the answer to #2. Only the child and perhaps the mother know the answer to #1.

Bearly News
You know politicians are over paid and under worked when they have nothing better to do than battle over a dead bear. Maybe we should just round up a few griz here in Canada and ship them over to these countries as we did for the USA in regards to wolves. Mind you, they would probably just shoot them all and have them stuffed so they could be placed in local museums.

Wrong Turn Clyde
Movie buffs and the older crowd will remember Clyde. He Co-Stared with Clint Eastwood in "Any Which Way But Loose" and "Any Which Way You Can". He has a message for all you "carbon burning fuel haters" out there. He does not speak any language that we mere humans can understand so he is using a universally known sign language.
He just wants you all to know how pissed off he is that your biofuel programs are wiping out his species.
Five years to save the orang utan
A United Nations report has found that illegal logging and fires have been overtaken as the primary cause of deforestation by a huge expansion of oil palm plantations, which are racing to meet soaring demand from Western food manufacturers and the European Union's zeal for biofuels.
As is usually the case, the human solution of knee jerk reactions to a possible problem is doing more harm than good.
Al Gore's Evolution
Al Before
Solar system to Gore: What 'global' warming?
"The planet has a fever," former Vice President Al Gore complained to Congress Wednesday. "If your baby has a fever, you go to the doctor."
The problem is Earth has seen a slight temperature rise, comparable to someone running a temperature of 98 degrees instead of 97.3 degrees. The doctor doesn't get excited and says to start taking medication when the temperature is closer to 101 degrees.
Al Gorged
The Cause of Global Warming Discovered
After much scientific research, I think I have discerned the true cause of global warming.
When I was a young doctor just beginning practice, it was unusual for a man to come into my office weighing more than 200 pounds. Weights of 200 and up were in the professional football player strata. Ordinary humans didn't weigh that much.
Al Gored
If Gore is Right...
I'm Henry the VIII, I am!
Liberals prefer the religion of science, scientist saviors and nutcase professional failure Al Gore as their prophet... As for the rest of us, a good dose of common sense reality will keep the fruitcake fear-driven global nightmare freaks away.
Lastly I have discovered, via researching Al's invention, the way to solve Al's problems. Gore and excess energy comsumption
I propose the following Excess Energy Consumption Tax (EECT): All residential electric and natural gas consumption taxes should be based upon excess energy use; after all, the point of raising taxes is to discourage excessive consumption to save the planet, right? Any excess energy consumption will be defined as being twice the national average consumption. All consumption in excess of the threshold will be taxed at the multiple of the national average rate of energy use.
Seems like a fair and logical way to go if you ask me. Distribute that wealth of yours Al. It's the right thing to do if you are truly concerned about the environment. Al Gore the prophet or Al Gore profits... which do you think he will chose in the end?

The Sun Sinks in the West
Meet the new boss, not like the old boss...
The Vancouver Sun is handing over the helm to David Suzuki on May 5th.
"What I would love to do is put a green slant in every area," he added, explaining he thinks the mainstream media do not do enough to highlight how the environment is connected to all areas of the news.
Obviously Suzuki does not pay much attention to the news these days. According to the MSM around the world, everything that happens in this day and age is a result of climate change. I am sure if I look hard enough, I could find a report to link the rain that fell on the evening of Princess Diana's death was in fact due to climate change and as a result was the cause of her death.
"You may get [stories] about floods in Bangladesh, drought in Ethiopia and forest fires in northern Alberta, and they are all reported as if they've got nothing to do with each other," he said, adding he would like to start making those connections.
Yo David, there is a reason they are reported this way. THEY ARE NOT CONNECTED in any way!
"One of the challenges we face is we are not seeing the world as a single entity and seeing how interconnected things are."
The planet is indeed a "single entity" and many thing are indeed "interconnected". However our "world" is far from a "single entity" although I am sure Suzuki and his fellow preachers like Maurice Strong and others would love to see that change. The term "One World Government" comes to mind.
Suzuki also said he wants to get green stories into the sports and arts and life sections.
I am not sure how BC Lions fans will react to more stories about the "Green and Gold" of Edmonton or that of the Green Bay Packers but hey if thats what Suzuki wants thats cool with me. I'm not sure how much GREEN art there is out there, but seeing my favorite color is green, I look forward to seeing more of it. I am not one to follow the fashion trends but is green still in vogue?
"What I would love to do is take something like a pizza and deconstruct the whole thing and trace it right back from the peppers to the onions to the trees that gave the paper for the box," he said.
I would like to see Suzuki take this even further. Follow that pizza completely through its cycle. Right through the digestive track, to its final destination in the waste treatment facility.
My final thought on this is... How can Mr Environment, David Suzuki, support this en devour for even one day, knowing how many trees will be wasted for the news print not to mention the energy it takes to publish his crap? Suzuki talks the talk but fails to walk the walk yet again.

Timing is Everything
Back on March 5th, I did a little post What a Waste of Time and Money about well, being lazy and saving the planet from the evil climate change. In that same post, I mentioned how Ed Stelmach was planning on investing the enviro cash coming from Ottawa on a "carbon dioxide pipeline" and what a waste of money that is. I also stated that spending that money on fighting the Mountain Pine Beetle would be money better spent. Guess someone knew there was other money coming down the pike for this en devour.....
The Global National Reports the following:
VANCOUVER — Federal Natural Resources Minister Gary Lunn is making $24.8 million in pine beetle funding available immediately to British Columbia.
The money is for projects to help control the spread of the pine beetle along the B.C.-Alberta border.
I still think that the "Carbon Pipeline" is a waste of money, but at least I now know that something is being done about a REAL problem in our environment.

You Don't Say
With out any help from regulations that the Liberals never did impose on business, but are now screaming out for now that they have discovered just how GREEN they are under Mr. Dolittle Dion, Suncore Energy of the infamous Alberta Oil sands has been named one of the 10 "Green Giants" by Fortune Magazine.
Fortune wrote: “In a survey of 23 global oil companies last year, Jantzi Research, a Canadian consultancy, named Suncor a top performer, noting its environmental and greenhouse-gas management programs. Specifically, it has improved emissions intensity (the amount of oil it extracts per ton of greenhouse gases emitted) 25 percent since 1990. Ditto for energy, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide. Suncor is part of an initiative to develop carbon-capture techniques. And while Suncor hopes to double its production by 2012, its water management is so advanced that it expects to draw no additional water from Alberta's Athabasca River.”
What most people do not remember, is that although the all mighty dollar is very important to all business en devours, so is survival. Believe it or not, the investors of these company's live on the same planet as the rest of us and have an interest in keeping it as healthy as possible while making those bucks. It makes no sense to be rich and dead...
Candace posted some of the details on Suncor's reductions back on March 17th. Female intuition?

Twisting in the Wind
Who was it that placed the lives of Canadian Soldiers in danger by canceling an order for new helicopters, forcing them to fly in known dangerous ,antiquated Sea Kings? Who was it that purchased USED submarines at a cut rate from the UK that placed Canadian military personnel at risk? Who was it that did not fund the Canadian military at a point that it was at least sustainable? Who was it that sent our troops to Afghanistan in uniforms that stood out so badly that the soldiers had to modify them on their own so they were not instant targets? Who is yelling and screaming about how Taliban prisoners are being treated, not by Canadians I might add, but by the people we are handing them over to? Those same prisoners that Ignatieff of all people should know, are NOT covered under the "Geneva Conventions" that Ignatieff wants us to uphold. The answer to all the above questions is, as PM Harper quite fairly stipulates in this quote...
"I can understand the passion that the leader of the Opposition and members of his party feel for the Taliban prisoners. I just wish occasionally they would show the same passion for Canadian soldiers."
is the Liberal Party of Canada.

Oilers Sucked More Than Usual Tonight
The owner of the company I work for was kind enough to give me two tickets to the game tonight against Colorado. His seats are a couple of the best in all of Rexal Place I might add. So there My friend and I sat, in two of the best seats, watching one of the worst games of the season. I truly felt sorry for Roloson and Markkanen. They might as well have been out on the ice alone. Come to think of it, they were... the rest of the team never showed up.
Thank you George for the tickets. I very much appreciated it although there was little to enjoy once the puck dropped. Mac T basically agrees with me! He calls it being "schooled". I call it not showing up. Same result.
It is not just ME!
My moto when it comes to cleanliness is:
"My home is clean enough to be healthy and dirty enough to be lived in"
Everything has its place and I know exactly where everything is. A benefit of being single! However, that place is usually one big pile... Hey it works for me, and apparently it works for a whole lot of other people too!
"We think that being more organized and ordered and neat is a good thing and it turns out, that's not always the case," said Freedman.
"Most of us are messy, and most of us are messy at a level that works very, very well for us," he said in an interview. "In most cases, if we got a lot neater and more organized, we would be less effective."
Take that all you neat freaks out there!

Averaging Problems
The problem with "Averaging" temperatures over a large area, is that is does not give you a clear picture of anything. Today we learned that this winter tied the second warmest Canadian "average" on record. What the hell does that mean? It means that some places in Canada where indeed warmer than "average" this winter. What it does not tell you is that some of Canada was colder than "average" as well. Canada is not in a bubble, where the temperature is spread out evenly throughout so an "average" temperature means nothing. Knowing that it was warmer in the Yukon does not do a thing for the prairie farmer when his cattle are freezing to death in central Alberta. Local weather is influenced by many factors, too many to calculate accurately. That is why a professional meteorologist has a hard time predicting what the weather will be in the next couple days never mind weeks, months or years in advance.
Lets move this topic up a notch to global "averages", instead of just Canadian "averages" shall we. Although one can argue that the earth is indeed in a bubble of sorts, and that the global "average" does effect the planet as a whole, it still does not disperse the temperature evenly throughout. Again an "average" global temperature does not give a clear picture of anything. Some places are cooler than average and some are warmer. The "average" may be warmer or cooler during any given period. We are currently going through a "average" warming period. 30 odd years ago we were going through an "average" cooling period, and before that a warming period, and before that a cooling period. Our weather is in a constant state of change. Locally we go from spring to summer to fall to winter and back to spring again on a yearly basis. Globally, the earth does a similar thing over a longer period of time. It is nature doing one of its balancing acts that it is required to do on an ongoing basis.
Science Daily Researchers Question Validity Of A 'Global Temperature':
"It is impossible to talk about a single temperature for something as complicated as the climate of Earth", Bjarne Andresen says, an an expert of thermodynamics. "A temperature can be defined only for a homogeneous system. Furthermore, the climate is not governed by a single temperature. Rather, differences of temperatures drive the processes and create the storms, sea currents, thunder, etc. which make up the climate".
He explains that while it is possible to treat temperature statistically locally, it is meaningless to talk about a a global temperature for Earth. The Globe consists of a huge number of components which one cannot just add up and average. That would correspond to calculating the average phone number in the phone book. That is meaningless. Or talking about economics, it does make sense to compare the currency exchange rate of two countries, whereas there is no point in talking about an average 'global exchange rate'.
If temperature decreases at one point and it increases at another, the average will remain the same as before, but it will give rise to an entirely different thermodynamics and thus a different climate. If, for example, it is 10 degrees at one point and 40 degrees at another, the average is 25 degrees. But if instead there is 25 degrees both places, the average is still 25 degrees. These two cases would give rise to two entirely different types of climate, because in the former case one would have pressure differences and strong winds, while in the latter there would be no wind.
You can think globally all you want, but when you boil it all down, the only thing that really matters is local. Do I need to bundle up to go to work today or can I scare the hell out of everyone in my speedo?

Hint Hint
You would think that some people would get the hint by now but noooooooooooo. They just keep on going like the good little soldiers they are, fighting the good fight, even though Mother Nature seems to be trying to tell them otherwise.
H/T to Jack's Newswatch
Dangerous Hype
Even scientists are now seeing that the hype in the media and by some over zealous scientists, are not helping their cause. Via the BBC
They say some researchers make claims about possible future impacts that cannot be justified by the science.
The pair believe this damages the credibility of all climate scientists.
Both men hold the mainstream view on climate change - that human activity is the cause.
But they think catastrophism and the "Hollywoodisation" of weather and climate only work to create confusion in the public mind.
They argue for a more sober and reasoned explanation of the uncertainties about possible future changes in the Earth's climate.
I for one think it is about time that reputable scientists and researchers come forward and hold the MSM and others more accountable for their claims. Putting the "fear" into the public is not the way to convince them of anything. That only works on the weak minded and uninformed.

Dion's Carbon Tax
Part of Dion's new green plan is too place a carbon tax on industry.
The main thrust of Mr. Dion's new proposal is what he describes as a “carbon budget,” meaning companies will have to reduce their emissions in line with Canada's Kyoto target of six per cent below 1990 levels.
For each tonne of carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gas that is emitted, companies would pay $20 into a green investment account. That price would rise to $30 by 2011 and companies could get their money back if they spend it on measures to reduce emissions.
Let me explain how this will work. Industry will pass on this cost to its customers, YOU and ME. The money will sit in an account garnishing interest that the government will keep for themselves to waste on useless programs. IF, and that is a big IF, a business does actually reduce there output of green house gases, it will get its money back based on that reduction.
So the government will get to keep its money for nothing and say "look at what a good responsible earth loving green government we are!" You and I will pay the cost for the business's which may even get some or all of that money back in time. Who the hell is going to give us OUR money back Mr. Dion? A very profitable scam for the government and possibly the business's at the little peoples expense as per usual.
Update: I'm not the only "genius" to figure out this latest plan by Dion.
Joanne over at Joanne's Journey has a good post on this one including an article by John Ivison in theNational Post.
Angry in the Great White North AKA, Steve Janke, has a more detailed post on this very same topic, also referring to the National Post article.

Warning to the People
I will bet Orwell never saw this coming. Here is what your governments are going to be shoving down your throats in the near future, all in the name of saving the planet from the evil climate change. Whether you like it or not... From "The Daily Mail" UK:
Homeowners who refuse to make their properties energy efficient will face financial penalties under drastic government plans to transform Britain into the world's first 'green' economy.
Ministers yesterday promised deep cuts to greenhouse gas emissions that they warned would mean everyone in the country having to 'live, work and travel differently'.
Unveiling the plans, Environment Secretary David Miliband said it would be "painful" to continue to have an "energy inefficient home". Those that did would face higher bills, he added.
Transport will also undergo radical overhaul as Britain moves towards becoming a "low- carbon economy", the Government said.
Vehicles will be made more fuel efficient, effectively forcing current gas-guzzling models off the road.
Opposition politicians and green campaigners said the Government's proposals did not go far enough
Bend over Rover.... and yes...this is going to hurt... Welcome to the new world...
Green Party Promoting Fiction!
So, not to my surprise, the Green Party of Canada is supporting the propaganda film An Inconvenient Truth.
To my surprise, they are actually daring to prominently advertise it:
Is pushing a documentary based on fiction part of the Green Party's agenda these days? They claim to be progressive, yet their party's rank and file want to stifle free speech when it contradicts what they believe. I've written on this film extensively. For debunking links see this post:

Hype, Denile and Threats
Some of the people that support the "man made global warming" theory are now asking that those of the extremist type turn it down a notch or two. Is Al Gore and David Suzuki listening? Something tells me not.
Now one of the people who was a star of the recently shown The Great Global Warming Swindle, a documentary that disputes Al Gores version of the "TRUTH", has come out to say he was swindled and his contribution to the show was taken out of context.
His change of heart would not possibly have anything to do with the threats made to some others who have come out against the "TRUTH" now could it? Maybe it is not that serious. Perhaps someone just threatened him with a lack of funding to head his way for further studies? Not like it would be the first time something like that had happened.
PM Harper is pandering to the Kyoto masses and soon will be announcing the governments new plan to reduce green house gases. Will it be as level headed as Harper has proven to be so far or will he follow all the other politicians down the green brick road no matter the cost?
I am just asking....

Revenue Minister Carol Skelton (IT GODDESS)
She must be an incredible lady, as the liberals seem to think that she can do what the IT people over at Canada Revenue have been unable to do in the past couple days.
Liberal MP Judy Sgro called on Revenue Minister Carol Skelton to return to Ottawa and attend to the problem.
Something tells me the liberals are over estimating her computer skills... I think I can safely file this one under LOSERS!
The Great Global Warming Swindle - Update
As I mentioned Here on Monday, a new documentary on global warming aired yesterday on BBC channel 4, "The Great Global Warming Swindle". Spiked-online editor Brendan O’Neill, has a long op-ed on the show and its director, Martin Durkin. Its worth a READ. If you would like to reserve a DVD copy of the documentary for your own library go HERE. I am still hoping that a Canadian broadcaster might find enough of a backbone to air this program here in Canada, but I am not going to hold my breath. Bits and pieces of the show are showing up on youtube as I write this. Curently there are 5 6 parts posted that I can find, making up about 15 minutes of the 90 minute documentary. They are not the best of quality but they do give you a good gist of what the show is about. I would imagine more parts will show up soon if not the whole show.

Riddle me this
To all those who would like to shut down the oil sands projects in Alberta to "save the planet" from the evil climate change.
You want to remove billions of dollars from Canada's economy and at the same time you also want to spend billions of dollars to clean up our mere 3% contribution of CO2 emissions. If you should succeed in shutting down our evil oil industry, where do you think we will get the oil we need for fuels and the manufacturing of many other products that are oil based? We will have to spend billions more to buy oil from other countries and ship it to our shores. How much CO2 will all those ships spew into the air to bring us what we have right here in Alberta?
Hers a little story to help you understand a little better about our world without oil...The Long Fingers of Petroleum
If we truly want to account for the petroleum factor, steel cannot be made the way it is today. Aluminum is even more energy intensive, and that leaves us with a wad of copper wire sitting in the driveway, resting on our jute ‘rug’. John, now completely discombobulated, runs for the door of his home.
Unfortunately, the steel hinges and doorknobs are missing. When he touches the door it falls inward; his carpeting has disappeared, and the house is really hot and dark. It seems air conditioners are made from aluminum and steel, as are most appliances. Johns’ local Power Company uses clean, non-polluting natural gas to generate their electricity, so let’s kill all the power to the house. He is relieved to see his toilet still sitting there, but everything electronic and electrical has become a tangled mass of copper wires and circuit boards.
Water is spraying out of the ground, because John’s house was plumbed with POLY VINYL CHLORIDE (PVC) pipe, which is a 100% petroleum product. His furniture has turned into skeleton-like wooden frames, as the materials and padding used to make couches and chairs are long lasting, man-made fibers derived from petroleum. Rancid goop is oozing out of every cabinet in the kitchen, and everything that was in his refrigerator is slumped into a pile only a garbologist could be proud of. It seems that 90% of the packaging materials we use today are made from (you guessed it) petroleum.
His fresh vegetables and many of his canned goods are gone. John suddenly remembers reading an article about fertilizer and pesticide shortages. It seems these are also made almost exclusively from petroleum, and without them, modern mass-farming techniques are not viable. Crop yields are down, and the cost of trucking lettuce from California and Washington to other places is just too high.
And if you think this hurts, imagine everything you ever bought from a department store vanishing – because they were ALL IMPORTED from cheap-labor “elsewheres” using petroleum as fuel.
Forget all plastic – it is 100% petroleum.
Toss out computers and electronics as we know them today – we don’t have the insulating materials to build them without petroleum. We don’t have the massive electrical capacity to build anything really high tech – the cost of oil or natural gas to fuel the power grid has become too high.
Space travel? Forget it – the hydrogen used to power the shuttle is derived from petroleum, and it will not fly without the electronics and guidance system. And all the aluminum and titanium and other special alloys each require extremely energy intensive manufacturing processes, which use too much electricity that comes from gas and oil fired power plants.
I hope this makes you think just a little about the true effects of declining petroleum.
Care to explain to me now why you want to shut down Alberta's oil industry? It just does not make sense in any way shape or form.

Canada, Haven and Hell
Canada is a haven for criminals from other countries. Our system makes it hell for foreign countries to enforce extradition treaties we have signed with them.
How Canada deals with these and other fugitives is heavily influenced by politics, judicial activism and high-powered extradition lawyers. These and other factors combine to build delays into the Canadian process that throw it out of sync with its treaty partners.
Why do we even allow these people into our country in the first place? What is this costing the tax payers to keep these undesirables in our country? Give them a one way ticket back to where they came from to face the music for the crimes they are accused of.
Who Said?
I am convinced the prophets of doom have to be taken seriously.
We may get to the point where the only way of saving the world will be for industrial civilization to collapse.
Isn't the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn't it our responsibility to bring about?
I do wish I could assist my many friends and colleagues in all the organizations I belong to, to remake the political and economic landscape.
Also, it is interesting that developing countries, with China and India perhaps in the lead, where the future of the global environment will be decided are now on board with the case for sustainable development.
A shift is necessary toward lifestyles less geared to environmental damaging consumption patterns.
After all, sustainability means running the global environment - Earth Inc. - like a corporation: with depreciation, amortization and maintenance accounts. In other words, keeping the asset whole, rather than undermining your natural capital.
Licences to have babies incidentally is something that I got in trouble for some years ago for suggesting even in Canada that this might be necessary at some point, at least some restriction on the right to have a child..
One of the things that I've always thought I would like to do is to develop an environmental index. Then people can measure their own environmental performance on an index as they do in other ways.
The Earth Charter is important as an expression of the commitment of people throughout the Earth to evoke their own deepest moral, spiritual and ethical principles in the task of ensuring a sustainable future for those who inhabit the Earth now and those who will follow us on the Earth.
What if a small group of these word leaders were to conclude that the principle risk to the earth comes from the actions of the rich countries? And if the world is to survive, those rich countries would have to sign an agreement reducing their impact on the environment. Will they do it?
I propose a new kind of commission be established -- a World Climate Commission. It would be permanent in nature, unlike previous commissions that addressed more limited issues and disbanded after making their reports.
Any guesses?
This clue might help INTERNATIONAL MAN OF MYSTERY:

Bull Dog?
Either this is one stupid dog or one very brave dog. Take your pick. Either way this is one guy that is very happy this dog is his new best friend!
What a Waste of Time and Money
OK, I spent the whole weekend doing my part to save the planet. I made zero effort to do anything that would use up any energy at all. I feel so much better now that I have done my part. Not to mention that I think I have finally gotten rid of that bug that was nagging me for the past week or so. Now if I could only get rid of the bigger bug that is infecting the planet, or at least a large portion of the humans occupying the planet. Kyoto/Human caused Climate Change, the newest plague to infect the brains of humans. It is far worse than BSE is to cattle. Kyoto does not effect the nervous system as does BSE, it goes right to the brain and wipes out all common sense.
It is nice to see some in the main stream are starting to give the "Deniers™" some air time. A new Documentary is set to air Thursday March 8th in the UK. I hope it makes it's way to the airwaves here very soon.
'The Great Global Warming Swindle' - backed by eminent scientists - is set to rock the accepted consensus that climate change is being driven by humans.
"It's very rare that a film changes history, but I think this is a turning point and in five years the idea that the greenhouse effect is the main reason behind global warming will be seen as total bollocks.
"Al Gore might have won an Oscar for 'An Inconvenient Truth', but the film is very misleading and he has got the relationship between CO2 and climate change the wrong way round."
Seeing that the topic has come up in the quote above of Inconvenient Truths, how can one ignore this little tidbit in regards to how rushing to find other sources of fuel, eg. ethanol, are not well thought out by the "Oil Industry and Human Haters Club™".
But a growing number of economists, scientists and environmentalists are calling for a "time out" and warning that the headlong rush into massive ethanol production is creating more problems than it is solving.
Now given the choice of what to do with 1.5 billion dollars, I know that this would be one of the last things I would be wasting it on.
Alberta plans to pour some of the millions of dollars expected from Prime Minister Stephen Harper's Eco Fund into construction of a $1.5 billion carbon dioxide pipeline, says Premier Ed Stelmach.
I personaly think that money would be far better spent fighting the Mountain Pine Beetle that is wiping out our northwest pine forests at an alarming rate. Money spent fighting something that is real and not just a hypothesis. What a novel idea.

Doing my part
My posts have been few in the past few days as I have decided to join in on saving the planet from the scourge known as climate change. I know its hard to believe but it is true. I am conserving my personal energy in many ways and you too can save the planet by using this simple technique. Just be too frickin lazy to get up and turn on a light, TV, radio, computer, or anything else that requires a form of energy to operate. Simply refuse to move your butt to the kitchen and cook yourself a good meal. Don't even think of reaching for the phone and calling up your favorite food delivery service. The most heinous thing one can do is to go to work. Thats right, all that wasted energy keeping all those lights on and the building warm. All those computers, printers, fax machines, phones, coffee machines ect... simply wasting energy and killing the planet. The best way you can save the planet is by doing absolutely nothing. Just ask Al Ignore.

Wheres my Cheque Book?
Had I only known it would be so easy to shut all the Global Warming Extremists up, I would have wrote my cheque long ago.(/sarc) If every family in Canada were to write a cheque for $1040.00 for each of the next four years, and fire it off to the government to spend on green technologies, international emission trading and the funding of emissions cutting projects in the developing world, we can meet our Kyoto targets. A mere 100 billion dollars is all we need to spend in the next four years. Just like David Suzuki and Al Gore you too can buy your way out of actually cleaning up your act! Easy for them to say. $1040.00 is pocket change for the likes of these guys, but for the average working Canadian... not so much... Wonder if the bank would mind if I don't make a couple of mortgage payments in order to afford to pay this carbon tax? Something tells me, NOT!
Liberal environment critic David McGuinty and New Democratic MP Paul Dewar praised the proposed plan at a news conference Wednesday, and said their parties are debating the idea of a carbon tax internally.
So much for these two parties wanting to help the "average Canadian" with tax relief as proclaimed by both their leaders in Question Period today.
Ignatieff Syndrome
Formerly known as "Foot in mouth disease", has again struck the Liberal Party of Canada. When will this man ever learn the old adage of "put the brain in gear before placing mouth in motion"?
Deputy Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff said he sympathized with terror victims but labeled their appearance during the debate as "just a sideshow," prompting an angry response from Basnicki.
"Sideshow? I was a victim of terrorism. My husband was murdered. I don't like to be a victim of politics. The issue here is the security of Canadians," Basnicki remarked.
The response by the widow Basnicki, was as far as I am concerned, tame. I have not been personally affected by any such event, and I am outraged by his comment.
I guess I should not be surprised, considering some of the other things he has come out with in the past.
Accountability, Whatever
Now that the wings are on the other foot.
Documents show that Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his Conservatives are paying only a fraction of the cost of using the government's Challenger jets for partisan and personal junkets.
The Tories, including Harper, accused the Liberals of blowing $11,000 an hour flying around the country in "flying limousines" for partisan purposes.
Accountability...Blah blah blah blah blah... guess that only applies to liberals wasting and abusing the public trust, right?
Standing Ovation
I personally want to thank MP Tom Wappel. Not for voting with the conservative government on the ATA, but for standing up for himself and his beliefs.
Wappel noted that there was not a peep of opposition from Liberals at that time. Nor did the matter become an issue during the Liberal leadership race, won by Dion on Dec. 2.
It was only after a caucus committee meeting on Feb. 5 that he learned the new leader had decreed "a 180 degree reversal'' of the Liberal stance on the issue.
"Under no circumstances did I expect that it would be anything but a formality and, yes, we'll support the extension . . . To me it was a total shock,'' Wappel said.
Having recommended renewal of the measures in the sub-committee report, Wappel said he had no choice but to support the government motion.
"I have to stand by what I wrote in October. Otherwise I can't live with myself.''
Now if we could only find another 307 more politicians that were more like this, maybe, just maybe we could actually get some things accomplished in the house of commons.

Junk Science
More proof that you cannot trust any science as FACT!
Today the science says.... Tomorrow the science will say the opposite... Just the way it is. Take it all with a grain of salt. Grandma said it best. Moderation is the key to a long and healthy life. That or my family just has really good genes?
Liberals in Dreamland
First came Stephane, Big Liberal Dreamer Who? You know the scrawny unhealthy guy with all those green bones in his body as apposed to the healthy Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who has no green bones in his body. Ya that guy, he is Big Liberal Dreamer #1 and had this to say...
By David Ljunggren and Randall Palmer
OTTAWA (Reuters) - Federal Liberal leader Stephane Dion brushed off bad press coverage and polls that put his party behind the Conservatives on Monday, saying he was confident of winning a majority in the next election.
Then we have the Little Liberal Dreamer #2.
The guy who holds a whopping 15 seats of 83 in the Legislative Assembly of Alberta compared to the 60 seats of Premier Ed Stelmach had this to say...
Canadian Press
EDMONTON -- Liberal Leader Kevin Taft says Alberta's Tory government is in for a rough ride in the legislature in the first sitting since Ralph Klein retired as premier.
First of all, anyone who honestly thinks they can acquire a MAJORITY of the seats in the House of Commons in Canada these days is a loonie or at least delusional to begin with. Then there is this little problem of Stephane not doing well in the eyes of many Canadians. He just simply does not come across as a leader. Ever watch a fish out of water? Stephane looks very much the same without a script in his hand to read from. Being a one trick, not so jolly, nor giant, green pony does not do him well in the least. Stephane is in need of a reality check. I said check not cheque. Brown bags full of cash don't count either.
Moving on... Kevin, Kevin, Kevin... Do you plan on bringing in a mechanical bull to replace premier Stelmachs seat in the legislature? That is about the only way you and your party could give him a rough ride. Well unless.... Nope not going to go there... I can honestly say that I am still a bit skeptical in regards to steady Eddy, but in his short tenure, he has impressed me more than you have in the couple years you have been the leader of the Alberta liberal party.
Everyone has their dreams. Some are more reasonable than others. My dream is to be the single winner of the largest 649 in Canadian history. Just as reasonable as either of those two guys dreams mentioned above.

New Coin to be Released
Canada Mint announced today, it will be releasing a new one dollar coin this year. It will depict David Suzuki where the once proud loon made its home. Not surprisingly it will still be known as the LOONIE.
Our national treasure and world famous bug man turned weather man is making all kinds of news as of late with his non eco friendly tour across Canada to spread his gospel of climate change. For more details, I suggest you wander over to AB Freedom and Angry in the Great White North. Of course, we Albertans are to "insane" to understand how important this issue is, and are at the heart of the problem, according to the High Priest of Climatology at one of his stops at an elementary school in Calgary as he continued his brain washing tour.

This is why I do what I do
And why I hate it when I see garbage left behind by so-called Nature lovers, where garbage should never be in the first fucking place! I just don't understand how anyone who enjoys the out of doors and nature can go out there and leave their garbage behind. Do you honestly think that the garbage truck will be by soon to clean up after you you fucking morons? If you were able to pack it in, PACK IT OUT! If that is too difficult for you to grasp, stay in the polluted city you came from. Mother nature does not want you in her yard. KEEP OUT!
The rookie officers found the deer struggling and in obvious distress with a large coffee can stuck on its face. The animal, estimated to be about two years old, was running into trees in its frantic efforts to dislodge the can.
Poor little deer
Rolling in the Dole
And you thought unemployment did not pay well. Well, not for those who draw upon it. But it sure does pay for the government coffers! In no time at all "Employment Insurance" (I hate that name) will be able to pay off Canada's National debt. But it still won't get you buy while you search for your next job.
Ottawa...... We have a problem....
Again today, we the tax payers of Canada had a wonderful demonstration of how well our money is being spent. Paying our politicians to sit in the house acting like, well, ummmmm, I simply can't think of anything to compare it to. I was thinking WWE wrestling, but at least that has some entertainment value for some. I thought about preschool kids, but that would be so unfair to those little tykes to degrade them in such a way. Monkeys in a zoo? But them darn monkeys are so dang cute, that don't work either. Snakes? Nope they are useful for keeping the rodent population down. THATS IT! Rats! They serve no purpose, spread vile diseases and are simply running rampant and are no good for nothing. All politicians are in deed no more useful than RATS! Lets get rid of the whole works. All of Canada should be RAT FREE!

Baby Boomer's, Failures as Parents
Yes, it is true. The baby boomer's have created more "problem children" than parents of 50 years ago. We are bad and I don't mean that in a good way.
Problem behaviours include acts that hurt others, such as being disruptive, aggressive or delinquent.
The behaviours range from lying and running away, to fighting and bullying, theft and vandalism.
In other words we have raised a generation or two or three or... of spoiled brats. That spare the rod and spoil the child theory worked really well now didn't it. You worked more hours to put a nice fancy roof over the head of the ungrateful little buggers. You worked weekends to pay for all them damn toys you wish you could of had when you were a kid and this is how they repay you. You would have been far better off working your normal 8 hours a day, 5 days a week and then spending all that free time with the kids under a little bit smaller roof with less of those toys. Just like the good old days. Hind sight is 20/20 after all.

More Global Warming
Extreme cold weather alert issued for Toronto:
So this will mean more people cranking up the heat to stay warm. Letting their cars idle more to stay warm. Toss a few more logs on the fire to stay warm. This damn cold weather is going to drive CO2 levels and thus global warming through the roof I tell ya.
Wait a second.... the report says...
An extreme cold weather alert was issued for Toronto on Sunday afternoon, with temperatures expected to dip to around -22C with wind chill Sunday night.
It does say EXTREME right? and minus 22 WITH the wind chill? Is this serious? Are you folks in Toronto that wimpy that a mere -22 including the wind chill is considered EXTREME? Don't ever move out west or worse north my friends, you will never survive. Hunker down right where you are at. Hopefully you will make through these EXTREME times.
Global Warming Survival Kit
I have been busy the past few days getting my shit together preparing for the inevitable. Okay maybe not inevitable but 90% certainty that AGW is happening. Yes I was a Boy Scout, "Always Be Prepared" is still my motto. So I decided to add a few extra items to my already well stocked bomb shelter compliments of the cold war years. Consider this my contribution to saving your ass. You are welcome.
You should stock up on some serious sunblock. I would recommend nothing less that an SPF ratting of 50 with both UVA and UVB protection. You northern residents that are not use to the heat may want to kick it up a few notches.
You will notice the latest fashion trend will soon be large brim hats to keep that over powering sun shine from frying your brain. I suggest you have a couple on hand at the very least.
Another fashion trend coming down the pike will Be unisex burka's. There efficiency is undeniable when it comes to blocking out everything including the sun's rays. The new designs will incorporate the latest fabrics that will allow you to not only look cool but also stay cool. I recommend buying several of these items in various co ordinated colors to match your large brim hats.
One over looked item a lot of people seem to forget is sunglasses. You must protect your eyes as well from those demon sun rays. I suggest you look for ones that not only give you UV protection but also HEV protection as well. It is also a good idea to ensure they are also ANSI Z87.1 certified.
There will be bonuses to these new fashions. I will not reveal them here as I do not want to give out all my secrets to the criminal minds out there. Wink wink nudge nudge. Which reminds me. You do still have you weapons cash in your bunker don't you? You may want to check up on that one. You can never have enough protection now can you?
The next must have item is, ear plugs. Yes you read that correctly. Do you honestly want to hear the screams of all those stupid people dying because they were not smart enough to read this post?
For those of you stupid enough to be living near large bodies of water, or flood plains, I suggest you consider a self inflating raft. One of sufficient size to hold all your loved ones and all your survival equipment. When the waters rise during the floods and wipe out not only your home, but your whole way of life, you will thank me.
Speaking of water. Despite the fact that there will be water everywhere, very little will be suitable for drinking. You will want to store plenty of drinking water in a good hiding spot. No need for storing food, as crops will be plentiful and food will be abundant.
You may want to think about either getting air condition, or upgrading your existing air conditioner to a larger one to help keep you cool during those scorching hot days to come.
Now this next one is a personal call. Personally I am not going to miss all the snow, but if you are one of those that want to cling to the past then I suggest you get yourself a dedicated freezer. Fill it with some of the snow currently available to take a peek at now and then when you feel the need. Perhaps you can also use it as an educational item for the poor generations ahead that will not know what snow is.
You may also want to get yourself some form of alternate emergency power to keep your new cooling systems operating on those many brown out days that are sure to come. Incidentally caused by all those new cooling systems that will be needed to keep us cool.
Another item you may want to have handy, depending on your personality type is, the movie "An Inconvenient Truth" along with any other material you find useful to have on hand to shove in the faces of those damn global warning deniers. I like to call it the "We told you so" factor. Sometimes it is just nice to be able to vent out you frustrations while screaming at the top of your lungs, but to have actual proof comes in handy as well.
Lastly, with the increase of temperatures on the planet, there will no doubt be an increase in insects that will pester us. We will need to be prepared to take care of the pesky little buggers that spread so much disease. I suggest you ignore all the rules and get yourself some serious amounts of DDT. It is still available on the black market if you take the time to search it out. DEET just will not cut it. I also suggest you get one of these handy dandy tools just to play it safe.
I'm pretty sure that I have thought of everything needed to survive the warming of the climate and the utter catastrophe that is heading our way. If you think there is something I have missed and would like to add to the above please do so in the comments.
Thanks for popping by and enjoy your day as they may be numbered! Well to be honest they are numbered. They always have been. Life is a fatal disease....

Valentines Flowers BAD!
Now don't you be going out and buying your special someone a nice bunch of flowers for this coming valentines day as it contributes to, you guessed it, GLOBAL WARMING!
Environmentalists warned that "flower miles" could have serious implications on climate change in terms of carbon dioxide emissions from aeroplanes.
Now we already know the effects of Santa's Reindeer re methane gas on climate change, now this. Wonder when the Church of Climatology will be attacking the Easter Bunny? After all Easter is coming soon.

An Inconvenient Misrepresentation
To hell with the truth, there is money to be made. The only problem is, that the money is being stolen from tax payers around the world, thanks to the UN and its environmental agenda.
Sorry J. Scientist, your study does not fall in line with our goal, therefore it is not real science, you are excused, and don't forget to hand in your credentials on the way out, because they will be worthless when we are done dragging you through the mud. Next... Ahhh yes, now this N. Scientist is more to our liking. However, we need to change your conclusion just a little before we can except it as the truth. Here is a partial grant to continue your studies. Do try to do better this time around. Next... A. Environmentalist, we would like to commend you on your never ending studies. You truly know your stuff. Your reports prove without doubt that everything we humans do is changing the climate here on earth. We are pleased to give you yet another increase in your grant money to continue your efforts for our great cause. Next...
Think I am kidding? Read the This
But when it comes to scientists who whistleblow about IPCC reports cooked by politicians to fit their politicized agendas, those whistleblowers are either ignored or dismissed as "skeptics" or quacks and are libelled as haters of this planet and nature, even though most of them have dedicated their lives to studying nature and protecting it.
And after that try this one just for the fun of it.
Prof. Lindzen is a genuine scientist, ever probing and questioning. He cites scientists who’ve been fired, denied post on panels, or whose research has been rejected not for merit, but because they challenge the prevailing UN view that global warming is man-induced, and not a cyclical occurrence of nature. As for Canadians (and PM Harper), the Calgary-based website friendsofscience.org is more instructive than the IPCC.
Then there is this little gem showing how some company's are raking in the doe using a little loophole.
Billions of dollars are being wasted in the international carbon trading system owing to a loophole in the Kyoto protocol, according to a study to be published on Thursday in the journal Nature.
Now tell me again why anyone wants to be part of Kyoto? If we truly want to clean up the mess we have created in regards to pollution, we need to come up with a made at home strategy. One that actually puts our money to work cleaning things up and not wasting it on carbon credits that fill the pockets of people who could really care less about the environment.

You don't say...
A 5 year study by 60 scientists, has come up with a wee kink for the Church of Climatology folks.
Henrik Svensmark, a weather scientist at the Danish National Space Centre who led the team behind the research, believes that the planet is experiencing a natural period of low cloud cover due to fewer cosmic rays entering the atmosphere.
This, he says, is responsible for much of the global warming we are experiencing.
He claims carbon dioxide emissions due to human activity are having a smaller impact on climate change than scientists think. If he is correct, it could mean that mankind has more time to reduce our effect on the climate.
Back to the drawing board we go. Those damn pesky scientists, wrecking all them computer driven models that were so darn good looking. How long do you think it will take for the Climate Change Denier Deniers, to try and trash this one like they do to every other theory that goes against the gospel that is KYOTO?
King Kyoto and Kaptian Kyoto
Your environmental saviors:
The National Post has a little right up about our dear friend Maurice Strong(/sarc) and his influence on the Canadian liberal party in regards to Kyoto.
But Kyoto wasn't renegotiated because Mr. Strong is a buddy of former Prime Ministers Jean Chretien and Paul Martin. When he was involved in United Nations operations, he organized the UN's Earth Summit to deal with pollution. He asked for, and got, Canada's unconditional support for Kyoto.(emphasis mine)
But Canada agreed to commitments of dramatically reducing emissions that no one else did. In fact, the Australians agreed to sign Kyoto after they were given permission by other signators to increase, not reduce, their emissions. This was appropriate given the resource-based nature of Australia's economy, its large land mass and other unique features.
Resources require huge inputs of energy, as does manufacturing, so they negotiated a smart deal.
Even then, the Aussies eventually refused to sign when they realized that the Americans balked on the basis that the world's emerging economies did not have any requirement to curb emissions or clean up their acts. They were exempted.
Today, those emerging economies represent 50% of the world's gross domestic product, almost double when Kyoto was inked.
The failure to impose rules on every country in the Middle East, Asia, Africa and Russia is why Kyoto is not worth the trees that were cut down to provide the paper it was written on nor for the sea of newspaper articles still devoted to it.
While Kyoto has been a dead duck everywhere else in the world, except in the Liberal or NDP caucuses, the Tories are going to tackle the issue sensibly.
I suggest you head on over and read the whole article. When you are done, head over to FOX News and read what they had to say about Mr. Strong recently. Neither story goes deep enough into this mans history and everything he has had his grubby little fingers in, but this is a good start.

Kyoto Munster's
The evil conservatives must be stopped at any cost. Even if it means passing some asinine legislation that pretty much everyone agrees can not be met. I am no where near as articulate as is Olaf, so I will refer you to his post on this matter.

I Want a Second Opinion
On climate change, from this young wanna be meterologist. If at eight years young, he could figure this one out, which apparently no one else could for the past four years, I can't imagine what he will be able to do in his mature years.

Moral High Ground
Ah yes, MP Garth Turner, Mr. Morality, explains how he will take the high road above all other politicians only if the others are willing to do the right thing by going into by-elections. Dion backs this up by stating that Garth did not cross the floor as he sat as an independent first then went to the liberals. You see the difference right? What the people of his riding have to say no longer matters to Garth. His own polling when he was first axed from the conservative caucus showed ZERO interest in Garth moving to the liberals. Garth's own poll
Resign your seat - zero
Negotiate back into caucus – 17
Join the Liberals - zero
Go Green – 17
Stay independent – 31
Maybe he has a new and improved poll that will show differently, once his site is back up and running? Don't you just love politics.....
If you have not seen the footage of the press conference yet, it is available at CTV HERE along with a shortened written article that misses all the fun stuff.
Update: Garth was interviewed by Rob Breakenridge at 770 AM available in the audio vault at 7 Pm. He did in fact say that he did another poll of his constituents and I will quote him now. "45% said stay as an independant and 44% said go liberal" I guess Garth forgot how things are supposed to work in a democracy. Something about a MAJORITY.... Again, so much for representing his constituents.

Canada's Worst Source of Green House Gases
Forget the coal fired electrical plants. Hell even the Alberta oil sands can't match this place. Welcome to the Parliament Building of Canada, the source of more air pollution in one sitting than all other sources in Canada combined. Want to meet our targets in Kyoto? Shut down the hot air plants inside this place and we will exceed Kyoto by a long shot.

IPCC Take Four
Caution this post may offend some readers. Contains foul language not suitable for some. Consider yourselves warned!
I have had it to hear(imagine me holding my hand way above my head) with all the crap of Kyoto and climate change... I am officially suffering from something we humans are famous for. Apathy, Once you hear things too many times you tend to get tired of it and just want it to STOP! I have reached that point on this topic. If I hear one more bullshit doom and gloom story of the impending destruction of the earth and all the life on it, I'm going to explode!
Yes that's right people, I'm a Flat Earther, Human Caused Climate Change Denier, a skeptic or whatever name you want to call me and I just don't give a shit any more. You know why? Cause I'm an ASSHOLE!
Thank you to all the politicians of the country who have thought it better to argue about who is greener and act like little children rather than actually doing something about the problem of polution. You have another convert. Come next election, I will piss my vote away or more than likely just won't bother to vote at all. NONE of you deserve my support or vote. I would also like to thank all those in the MSM for their biased unprofesional reporting on this topic.
Blame it on the Jones
We are headed for disaster and there is little we can do about it. The world we live in is changing for the worse and it is all YOUR fault! You are simply too greedy. You want to have a cushy life with all the luxuries of heating, cooling and a roof over your head. As if that is not enough you want more and more, bigger and better, all those toys to satisfy your massive ego. All those toys and conveniences are killing this planet. I hope you are happy with yourself now you murderous bastards. You have successfully killed us all. Mass genocide of the extreme! I know it is all the Jones fault for starting us all down this path. If they simply had not gone out and gotten that first ever wheel and then that fire thing that suddenly we all just had to have, we would not be in the state we are in now.
I am calling for a boy cot of the Jones! Stop trying to keep up with these evil people! Let us all go back to better times of eating raw meat, living in cold damp caves, wandering, hunting and gathering. When survival of the fittest was the norm, not the survival of the richest and smartest as it is now. When the worst thing we had to fear was disease or perhaps not finding our next meal. I dream of the good ol' days when the average human life span was 30 years if you were lucky. Who needs to live a long, healthy life anyways? Just grab a women drag her off and keep your blood lines going. That is all that is truly necessary isn't it? Hind sight truly is 20/20. Had we not been without corrective lenses back in those days, I am positive we would have seen the proper path to take. Following the Jones was definitely not the right thing to do.

Groundhog Day
Today is the day that shows us just how the science of climate change really works. Lets all watch and listen to the real expert on our climate, Buck Canuck. Have a Very Happy Groundhog Day!

It is VERY LIKELY!
That tomorrow you will wake up and hear or read the words "very likely" allot, once the IPCC releases its fourth report. I sure hope they can find this "man" that "made" this problem and have him put behind bars for a very long time. Make sure you have your nice cold Bottle of water handy to cool you off as things heat up in Ontario. You may need a life jacket if you are living in Europe and support Kyoto. The good ship "Feel Good" is sinking. But don't you worry, our new liberal savior has been anointed by Dion today and will rescue us all just like good ol' dad did.
