Re: Is man' made climate change real?

wtf do they want us to do? die of starvation or freeze to death? I'm still going to heat my house in the winter because it's really cold. and I'm still going to drive to work, eat food and enjoy the other benifit's of fossil fuels. sorry not sorry. the world isn't ending.

I don't think it's even possible to quit fossil fuels cold turkey. However what would be so wrong with using a little bit less or becoming more efficient?

nothing, I think people are working on that already.

only so much Joe blow can do about it though.

Don't you think most of us have already switched to LED 7 watt bulbs over 60 watt incandescent and opted for the high efficiency furnaces and hot water tanks when we had the chance? Most of us are happy to see 12 litre/100 on our dash rather than 20 litre/100 on our newer trucks too. We all have 3 collection carts in the city too, for garbage, recycling and compost. We are moving that way and each of us excels at it in one way better than others. I know you are good at driving an electric car while I separate my waste and turn the heat down at night. It is an ongoing process and these scientist that paint a doom and gloom future would do better to stay in their labs and work on more efficient options for us rather than to just tell us to stop living.

Didn't some ancient Greeks and Romans believe that they were gods? Doesn't sound much different than the theorists in this article. What happened to those civilizations?

I don't know? lots of crazy theories out there. one minute scientists say the earth is going to end if I don't quit sledding and the next they say we are living in a comupter game. lmao

Re: Is man' made climate change real?

So either it was reversed or they were just wrong. But this was coming form the U.N. so if an organization that is so respected could get it wrong then, could they get it wrong again?


You would have to ask yourself what a 16 year old is doing in the UN assembly in the first place, and one that definitely took the same drama classes as our crimeminister. Then you might want to ask yourself what the UN was up to pulling this stunt in the first place??? It is always so dam simple every time....follow the dam money. Greed is always at the center of all evil.

By putting societies focus on climate change you take the focus away from the countries that have obvious human rights violations going on and the UN is doing nothing about it.

Re: Is man' made climate change real?

Good stuff...

Dear Children,

I’m sorry adults have frightened you about climate change and how it might affect your future. You might be less afraid if you knew some facts that adults intentionally do not explain to you. I’ll tell you here.

The news was once a source of real information, or so we thought. But in the modern world, the news people discovered they can make more money by presenting scary news regardless of whether it is true or not. Today, much of the news on the right and the left is opinion that is meant to scare you, not inform you, because scary things get more attention, and that makes the news business more profitable. The same is true for people who write books; authors often make books scary so you will buy them. Most adults know all the scariness is not real. Most kids do not. You just learned it.


Nuclear energy used to be dangerous, back in the olden days. Today’s nuclear power plants (the ones built in the past 20 years all over the world) have killed zero people, and are considered the safest form of energy in the world. More people have died installing solar panels and falling off roofs than have died from nuclear power problems anywhere in the world for the past few decades. And nuclear energy is the obvious way to address climate change, say most of the smartest adults in the world, because it can provide abundant, cheap, clean energy with zero carbon emissions.


Nuclear energy as a solution to climate change is one of the rare solutions backed by several Democrats running for president and nearly all Republicans. Please note that two Democrats in favor of nuclear energy (Corey Booker and Andrew Yang) are among the youngest and smartest in the game. To be fair, the oldest Democrat running for president, Joe Biden, also supports nuclear energy because he is well-informed.


If you are worried about nuclear waste, you probably should not be. Every country with nuclear energy (and there are lots of them) successfully stores their nuclear waste. If you put all the nuclear waste in the world in one place, it would fit on one football field. It isn’t a big problem. And new nuclear power designs will actually eat that nuclear waste and turn it into electricity, so the total amount of waste could come way down.


The United Nations estimates that the economic impact of climate change will reduce the economy by 10% in eighty years. What they don’t tell you is that the economy will be about five times bigger and better by then, so you won’t even notice the 10% that didn’t happen. And that worst case is only if we do nothing to address climate change, which is not the case.


A number of companies have recently built machines that can suck CO2 right out of the air. At the moment, using those machines would be too expensive. But as they come down in cost and improve in efficiency, we have a solution already in hand should it ever be needed. It would be expensive, but there is no real risk of CO2 ruining the world now that we know how to remove any excess from the atmosphere. (Plants need CO2 to thrive, so we don’t want to remove too much. Greenhouses actually pump in CO2 to make plants grow better.)


Scientists tell us that we could reduce climate risks by planting more trees. (A lot more.) That’s all doable, should the world decide it is necessary. There are a number of other companies and technologies that also address climate change in a variety of ways. Any one of the approaches I mentioned (nuclear energy, CO2 scrubbers, planting trees) could be enough to address any climate risks, but there are dozens of ways of dealing with climate change, and more coming every day.


Throughout all modern history, when we humans see a problem coming from far away, we have a 100% success rate in solving it. Climate change is no different. All the right people are working hard at a wide variety of solutions and already know how to get there, meaning more nuclear power plus CO2 scrubbers, plus lots of green power from solar, wind, and more.


If you are worried about rising sea levels, don’t be. The smartest and richest people in the world are still buying property on the beach. They don’t see the problem. And if sea levels do rise, it will happen slowly enough for people to adjust.


Adults sometimes like to use children to carry their messages because it makes it hard for the other side to criticize them without seeming like monsters. If adults have encouraged you to panic about climate change without telling you what I am telling you here, they do not have your best interests at heart. They are using you.


When you ask adults about nuclear energy, expect them to have old understanding about it, meaning they don’t know the newer nuclear energy technologies are the safest energy on the planet.


What I told you today is not always understood even by adults. You are now smarter than most adults on the topic of climate.


My generation has a lot of faith in your generation. You will be the most educated and effective humans of all time. My generation (and a few generations younger than me) already has the fixes to address climate risks coming online. Your generation will finish the job.


We adults respect your passion and your energy on the topic of climate. But it isn’t fair for us to deny you the basic facts while at the same time scaring you into action. I hope this letter helps you sleep better. We adults have this problem under control, or will soon, and you’ll help us finish the job. So get some good sleep tonight. Together, we got this.

Re: Is man' made climate change real?

I know for sure this drunken prick has something to do with it. And the paid off news network that cover it. Hopefully Alberta will expose Eco Terrorist David Suzuki and what he is up to.

What a hypocrite, he says both of these in the same interview:

"This is no longer a partisan issue."

"What we're trying to do now is get young people out to vote."

Really? What would the need of voting be if it was not a partisan issue? Am I the only one who sees the twist here?

Re: Is man' made climate change real?

Hopefully your premier exposes all this corruption and all those who are behind it, look at all the trouble he caused at site C dam, then the west moberly native issue with the UN and caribou started right after he showed up in the area. All he is is a drain on the tax payer, but to be going one step farther and trying to kill the canadian economy ...hopefully he is exposed for what he is.

Re: Is man' made climate change real?

Repost from a friend:

Interesting Article ....That clock is nearing midnight
Mankind is taking his last gasp of nitrous oxid

The Arctic Ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot according to a report to the Commerce Department yesterday from the Consulate at Bergen, Norway

Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard of temperatures in the Arctic zone.

Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes.

Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the gulf stream still very warm.

Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared.

Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelts which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds.

Within a few years it is predicted that due to the ice melt the sea will rise and make most coast cities uninhabitable.



I must apologize. I neglected to mention that this report was from November 2 , 1922, as reported by the AP and published in The Washington Post 96 years ago. This must have been caused by the Model T Ford's emissions or possibly from horse and cattle . . . . .

Snopes, verified the article did in fact appear in 1922! https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/warm-welcome/
