Michael Mann perpetrated a baseless fraud with his hockey stick graph. Fanatics want you to ignore the medieval warming period and the global cooling that almost killed the immigrants from the Mayflower.

1. How did you know ? 2. I won't be.

Utter madness. Canada is falling apart. I was walking on a sidewalk today and moved to the right as a courtesy to an Asian couple blathering in a foreign language and they also took the same side of the walk. There is no effort to assimilate. I should move for them. Cancel Culture. We're doomed.

Donald Trump is a "domestic threat" who is "trying to dismantle the institutions of our constitutional republic." -Liz Cheney

I googled causes of man-made climate change and guess what? I got a list of the signs of climate change and a whole lot of speculation and assumptions, but no actual proof. What Is the Evidence that Human-Caused Climate Change is Happening? | Caltech Science Exchange Speculation or pointing to signs of climate change is not proof that man is causing it. How often do we hear on the fake news forest fires are proof man is causing climate change. Everything happening today is blamed on man. That is the major flaw of the debate and these websites. Whatever happened to the scientific method and proof? The way these sites operate is similar to a fake justice system in China where a person is guilty unless he is proven innocent. According to modern day "science", man is guilty of causing climate change unless he can be proven innocent. This is not science but it is politics.

If you removed all the petroleum based products and components from your 'green' car, you couldn't even push it into your garage.

Stop this wining "killing jobs" nonsense! It is called business transformation. Those 4,500 loggers better start getting training classes to become electric vehicle manufacturers. What is 4,500 jobs compared to the 400,000 jobless immigrants imported EVERY year? One small drop in the bucket. Why don't all of you go hide where the sun don't shine, together with Michael Hardner .?

I try to approach COVID from a pragmatic perspective. And from that perspective it really is one monstrous nothing burger compared to what we were told by the fearmongers 2 years ago. It never came close to killing 1 to 2 percent of the population. But it is also a sword I won't die on. My employer wants me to be vaccinated so I am. Actually I got vaccinated before that because I wanted to go to the movie theatre and take part in normal life. So it doesn't hurt to get it but I also was never under real threat as far as I can tell - and I'm in a high risk group. But now that they are gunning for our kids I am not particularly impressed. Leave the under 12 out of it please.

Yes I am always leery when government conspires with Big Pharma.

Fox News went to the dark side once it started hiring extreme leftists. They turned against Trump posting fake polls and basically begging voters to back Biden. I cancelled them.

Canadians embrace totalitarianism gladly and with welcome arms. Free speech IS part of our Charter of Rights, but somehow has been destroyed.

No you are the joke. The USA now has MORE forested areas than it had in 1900. Forests are NOT disappearing, except in places with their own set of problems such as Brazil.

Has absolutely nothing to do with whether one worships God or not. Global warmers are their own religion.

The Mother Earthers are religious fanatics. Global warming is the biggest scam since the events that lead to the DDY ban.

The third world countries are demanding the developed countries pay them for "causing climate change". Already Trudeau and his cohorts in the U.N. have promised to give the third world 100 billion dollars to help them fight or ameliorate climate change. This whole thing is dominated by the Marxist U.N. which is made up of about 200 countries, most of which are dictatorships or Marxists states. They decide what the U.N. IPCC, more of a political body than a scientific group, will set as objectives. Obviously the main objective will be to extort as much money as possible from the developed countries. Get ready for climate change alarmists in our country to turn their attention to everyone's every day life and look for anything that might release CO2. They have already started talking about medical devices people use. We will be punished just for living and will be taxed and fined for everything we do. WE already are to a certain extent with the carbon tax scam. The mainstream media is fully on the climate alarmism bandwagon. We never hear opposing views on MSM. They have effectively been silenced. Cities and small towns have already started to declare climate emergencies, supposedly to give themselves the power to tax and charge every citizen for living. This already started in my town with the distribution of new garbage collection system. They delivered two large bins to every household, one for Organics and the Other for Recyclables. We also have the original garbage container. Everything must be separated, cleaned, and put in the appropriate bins. Glass jars and plastic bags must be taken to the recycle depot by the citizens. They also increased the monthly charge for collection by $4 per month or $48 per year. But this could be just the tip of the iceberg of what is coming down the road. People need to inform themselves about what is happening with this fake man-made global warming issue and stand up to defend their cities and country from the radical climate change politicians and alarmists. Canada is in a dangerous place because politicians have been brow-beaten into accepting the madness. There is no party for those of us who oppose this insanity. Nobody wants to be known as a denier. It has rapidly grown into a huge cult.

MOD said "Please avoid trolling and personal attacks. Do not post if you have nothing to add to the discussion." If you can't answer my only question, don't bother asking anything else or making further baseless and abusive statements and assumptions. The forests you logged to "make money" are renewable in 500 years! In that time you (and your ilk) would have caused wide spread devastation through the climate change you've caused.

What REALLY bothers me is that we from extremely diverse political points of view have no trouble conducting a reasonable discussion on this topic with reasonable understandings of the actual problems and reasonable suggestions as to the very obvious solutions. Yet NONE of this occurs at the sovereign nor diplomatic level - just truly idiotic and unsustainable efforts to do more of exactly the same things in slightly different ways. Take the US infrastructure bill right now: not a HINT of reducing the amount of use of infrastructure to transport the same load one way on one side and the other way on the other side and load the highways, trains and airlines up with non-essential travellers. Doesn't matter what side of the Canadian or American UNIPARTY is in power, they do the same things in slightly different ways, but always the same things.

Complete and utter nonsense. The plague was far deadlier. Covid has a survival rate of 99.5+ per cent. It's almost exclusively deadly to older people with comorbidities. That's why the average age of a covid death in Ontario is 83.

The CPC has an Anti-Vax caucus now. Glad I didn't vote for them.

US decides not to sign on to global climate accords? Not ok. China decides not to sign on to global climate accords? That ok, that ok.

2. How do you know?

I have nothing to discuss with you. If you want to get any response at all, tone down your abusive language and then , you the guy with the experience, answer this one question first: How did the old growth forests survive for hundreds of years and covered all of BC without your "forest management"?

I may or may not agree, but what does this have to do with the forestry?

Your statements put this way are correct. So this is why it is time to step back, re-evaluate the situation and make the changes needed to prevent further damage.

I am sure you got vaccinated for the love of other people and no one else. It must be big consolation for you now that you will be infecting others while vaccinated, as opposed to infecting them while you are not.

You don't consider yourself part of the public? If you want to explore an alternative.. go ahead. Selfish people have made it their business to demand their rights to infect others, so take advantage of that I guess.

Doesn't matter. That wasn't the point anyway. The point is if we're going to disregard adverse reaction stats because it might not have been the vaccine that killed or harmed the patient but some pre-existing condition. we need to disregard covid stats where pre-existing conditions such as obesity, diabetes or heart problems may have been a factor. An interesting one just happened in Germany: 12-Year-Old Child Dies Two Days After Taking Pfizer Vaccine in Germany – Officials Pull Back on Mandatory Shots for Children In that case this was also a factor: It's interesting because the German press is suggesting now, that a kid should only be vaccinated by his family doctor and only in cases where there are no pre-existing conditions. If deaths by infections had to meet that standard (no pre-existing conditions as confirmed by a family doctor) the covid stats would take a beating. They wouldn't be able to scare anybody with those stats. We wouldn't even be having this discussion.

Why don't you seek some psychiatric help . . . . perhaps in your country of origin?

If oil and coal are to be replaced as sources of energy, it will take renewables and all the nuclear and hydroelectric generation necessary to fill the gap. Population reduction could dramatically decrease the reliance on nuclear. In order to reduce population we would have to rethink our ponzi scheme mentality that perpetual population growth was essential to maintain present living standards. Is there any other way of stabilizing or reducing harmful emissions on a world wide basis? The west exporting its pollution (and manufacturing) to china might look good on paper but solves nothing.

The left is just going to keep banning jobs. Forestry, gas, oil, etc. They actually think it’s going to help make Canada better. They’re insane.

I would argue the exact opposite. Most businesses have barely been allowed to keep their doors open, and now we’re asking them to pay higher wages after trying to stay afloat for the past 18 months. It should be delayed until January 1st 2023.

Ah but you can't assume from a physics lab test that the same thing is creating man-made global warming. The heating of the earth's atmosphere is well known to have happened all through history long before mankind's industrial age began approximately 200 or 250 years ago. There was the Roman Warming period of several centuries about 2,000 years ago and the Middle Age Warming period which lasted hundreds of years. During both periods the temperature could have been as warm or warmer than today. The warming in those two periods was not caused by mankind obviously. It was purely caused by nature. The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is about 0.04% of the atmosphere and the amount of water vapour is up to 4% and varies. Water vapour is a major part of the atmosphere. Therefore it is reasonable to assume, since water vapour traps heat in the atmosphere, it is a major cause of global warming. Global warming is a natural part of the atmosphere and is what makes life on earth possible. So just because CO2 and methane is known in a lab physics experiment to have something to do with heating or releasing energy does not prove that it is a major factor in the earth's atmosphere or that man has anything to do with it. In other words a small experiment in the lab cannot be used as a basis to claim the atmosphere operates the same way because the atmosphere is a totally different situation. The global warming of the earth's atmosphere cannot in any way be replicated in a lab experiment. Those gases are also produced by nature and are necessary to heat the atmosphere which is necessary for life. All I am saying is that a little lab test proves nothing about atmospheric global warming because the atmosphere and earth is very large and complex. The radiation from the sun is involved, water vapour is involved, the oceans are involved, radiation from space is involved. The whole thing is complex and how man fits into the picture is unproven.

Justin Trudeau is the enemy of Canada. Treacherous gasbag.

I don’t think I’ve ever hated a politician more than this POS that’s currently PM. Iran loves this policy. Saudi Arabia loves this policy. China loves this policy. Russia loves this policy.

Property taxes are killing people these days. Homes have skyrocketed in value, without much accompanying wage increases.

1. How long is "a little bit"? How many months or years? 2. Why wear something on your face when someone tells you to? 3. Who decided and how it was decided? 4. Is it funny, really? I'll try to explain: what is fun (here), enjoying life to the full, going for a night out, dancing etc, or counting masks and vaccination percentages for a little bit longer, indefinitely?

Until you realize what goes into manufacturing electric vehicles and their batteries.
