Plants and trees require CO2 to survive.
But when you cut down the trees, the CO2 is all left for you to breathe in.
Enjoy it, d* a* !

I would guess your only reason for saying you oppose logging and the forest industry in response to my post is because you oppose God, the Bible, and Christianity.
This is ALSO so i-Diot-iC, it sends shivers down my spine and I can read no further.

It's been in my signature for years now. You could read it I guess... Maybe...
Edited... Not a proof but a rationale
Wonder why you missed deforestation as a factor. Increase in CO2 emissions may be the main thing but the ability of forests to regulate water flows, temperatures and climate as a whole is very important.

The statistics, as quoted by the Globe and Mail editorial, say otherwise.
You tell us how the proportion of Muslims in Canada is growing and then how the Antisemitism in Canadians (?) is also growing. (at the same rate)
Should this come as a surprise to anyone?
Is this really bad? What is the concern here?

1. Man-made CO2 is 0.1% to 0.2% of the total atmospheric greenhouse gases.
2. The fossil CO2 emissions of several countries in percentages of all fossil emissions for all countries for 2022 is:
Canada 1.511%
Australia 1.021%
Brazil 1.212%
China 32.884%
Japan 2.810 %
U.S. 12.600%
India 6.991%
Russia 4.956%
--- List of countries by carbon dioxide emissions - Wikipedia
The total fossil emissions are so minute it is extremely unlikely in my opinion that this has an affect on climate change. It appears that 99.8 or 99.9% of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are natural. This is according to information on wikipedia.
China's emissions are 32.884% of total man-made CO2 emissions. So no matter what Canada does it will make no difference to the total fossil emissions in the world because Canada's emissions are only 1.511% of the world's fossil emissions. That should be obvious to any reasonable person who looks at these figures.
Did you not post this garbage in another identical thread you started months ago?
Why are you even allowed to do that?
This thread should be removed.

One of the main reasons we have all the homeless people and tent cities now is because of the government interventionism or excessive control of home building, apartment building or building anything. There are so many regulations and red tape and approval processes builders must go through to get approval and the fees are so expensive. These regulations and costs are imposed by municipalities, regional districts, provincial and federal governments. Excessive taxation by all levels of government has been getting worse. Add to that now the carbon taxes which is going up every year. That's the Marxist-Socialist mentality of governments in Canada.
blah , blah , blah,
When I came to Canada population was about 30 million. Now it is 41 million.
Do you dare to guess if we were ever going to have a housing problem or a sky rocketing real estate market and rents, or a decaying medical system if those 11 million Asian heads were left where they were on their continent??

Socialism has always failed. It destroys incentive, destroys investment, and chases away hard work and prosperity. The world has never been "equal" and never will because that is not now things work. Communism has never worked. Communists have always set up systems to take care of themselves and forget everyone else. It can't work because it is against human nature.
Equality was not meant for the world but for people. The incentive and investment is the greed that destroys the planet.
This is the human nature you are referring to - greed.
It will turn out capitalism was the most destructive order ever invented - destroyed the human mind, destroyed humanity, destroyed the climate in the fastest way possible and eventually destroyed the world with all life on it.

Canada has a history of cozying up to Communist China. China's influence in Canada is extensive according to some writers. China appears to have had a significant influence in federal elections and could be at work in all levels of government. We know the Canada's military has been totally ignored and is in a death spiral now.
These news articles are more eye openers about Communist influence.
Opinion: Western societies must stop the spread of Marxism (msn.com)
There was a news article that said Canada does not refuse to hire people who have links to Communist China. The article disappeared before I could get the link or read it, but the heading tells a lot.
You are staining Marx' name, but I would forgive your ignorance. Your God always gives you the wrong advice.
There were no homeless during socialism and the main concept of communism is equality.
Canada has never been any further away from communism as it is now.
It is turning into a stinky s* As* country where its main population is feeding off the dumpsters and sleeping in tents, while the masterminds hide in their castles and throw away the tax payer money in international support to make the world believe Canada is some sort of a first class country.

That was 10 months ago, Still trying to get compensation from Customs/Canada post.
Let us know how it goes.
I filed a complaint using the Canada Post chat feature, just because I had time to waste. It took me 4 chat sessions because I was disconnected 3 times about 3/4 into the process. I had to start from scratch each time as the rep had no record of my previous chat session. They were wondering why I was unhappy when according to their last scan the item had been forwarded to its international destination. It just doesn't register with them that 22 days for a Birthday card to leave the country may be a bit excessive!

Having lived half my life outside the Lower Mainland (604), I think we should just rename everything in Area code 250 as "Beyond Hope".
I mean medical, transportation, govt services, retail, even fast food franchises just completely fall apart soon as you hit Spuzzum BC.
You think 604 is way better? A mailed a card registered mail that was supposed to go to Europe. It took the card 5 days to make it from 250 to 604 , then another 20 days to make it to Montreal, although there are planes leaving Vancouver for Europe every day and not just one.
The whole country and the whole system is beyond hope.

But we could give it some unpronounceable name that looks like it was typed on a keyboard with no vowels and too many punctuation marks in keeping with today's renaming conventions.
I have an idea. Since we are a multicultural country now, we should pick a letter from each world alphabet when renaming places, rivers , mountains.
A proper Canadian name will look something like this: ϠЩػᴶ∑₯

The reason it wound up being called British Columbia was only to offend America who figured all of Columbia was theirs.
I have always wondered where this "British Columbia" came from.
Columbia is a country in South America. How it got its name "Columbia", I also do not know and do not care all that much.
But how did part of Canada ended up being called Columbia ?
Is it from the Columbia river, which was called Columbia by some explorer with very poor imagination?
The Columbia river probably has an indigenous name, which if it reverts to, we may have to change the name of the province too.

So you're saying that eyeball has personal experience being John Horgan and getting medical help.
I know it's legal now and all but you done smoked youself retarded, boy.
Don't play stupid.
I have personal experience NOT being Jon Horgan. As for the actual John Horgan you get the updates from the news. One day he saw his family doctor ,next day he was in surgery. Try to get that type of fast service for yourself.

Yeah sorry but none of that is true. IF anything the homeless get priority.
The poor get medical treatment the same as everyone else. If a poor person walks into emerge 1 minute before me they get seen before me (all else being equal). If you have to lie to make your point you don't have a very good point.
Nope. You get fast medical service if you are John Horgan or the like.
Otherwise you wait till there is no hope.

You are mistaken in the meaning of the 3%.
Out of the total of CO2 in the atmosphere, man contributed 3%. That 3% does not change significantly.
It was probably near zero before the industrial age, but gradually went from near zero to 3% in the last 150 years of the industrial age.
Did God tell you that? Who did the measurements - the oil and gas industry?
You have two things working together - deforestation where the carbon sink and oxygen production capacity of the planet is diminishing and the ever increasing emissions of the industry.
Your suggestion is impossible.

Go back/forward to what?
To a better system of resource distribution. One that can survive with zero growth

Go back, move forward, whatever we want to call it, because what we have can no longer work.

EVERYONE gets health care
When you can't get it on time, you are left to die. Those without family doctors and even those who do have family doctors do not get health care on time.
Must be cheaper to bring another person from abroad than cure a sick Canadian.

Yeah - look at them. The people still mange to get food, they often get free medical and other services, they usually have clothes. And thats our most poor. Do you have any idea what actual poverty looked like before capitalism?
And look at the percentages, If you look at real poverty, not just poor but unable to aquire the necessaries of life, then the percent of the population in most capitalist nations is aboslutely tiny.' It used to be a considerable hunk of the population. Take a look at poverty in communist russia.
🤣 Laughable. You have 6 million Canadians that don't have a doctor and are left more or less to die, and yet you tell me the homeless were getting free medical care.
I do remember times from the bygones where there were no homeless. I lived in a socialist city of 100,000 and most had no cars, and nobody was really rich, but there was nobody on the street or starving either.
Don't take this is an endorsement of Russia or Putin. I think both Putin and Zelensky have lost their minds if they ever had minds.
But to go back to the original subject, you have no time to replace gasoline and diesel with LNG or electric options; for sure not when you still want to increase consumption and the population, which your capitalist system is pushing you to do, as if you do not do it, it will collapse and die.
Your options are limited - admit the system does not work and figure out a better one really fast, or keep your foot on the gas till you hit the brick wall.

Those who are recognize capitalism has lifted more people out of poverty than any other system ever in the history of man and it's not even close.
"Lifted out of poverty"???? Look at all the villages of homeless in every large, medium and even small cities.
Look at those people in debt. Look at those that have to work two or three jobs to make ends meet still getting nowhere.
You are kidding yourself.
We have some semblance of a standard of life supported by constant population growth and constant stripping of the natural resources. It cannot and will not go on forever.
As for the carbon tax, I never raised this subject. You can argue against it with those who support it. I don't.

Is the US - as a society- sustainable?
It is not, but then there is no society in the world I see as sustainable.
The US can continue to accumulate debt. The way I see it the banking system is a scam. Interest payments are a scam.
The assets supposed to back the banking system up are a joke.
We should not look at money as numbers/commodities set in stone. Money is just a medium of control - it limits the buying power of the most of the world's population , while those with the trillions have absolute control and do not care what they buy with what they have.
Total fossil emissions in the world is only 0.1% to 0.2% of total greenhouse gases

Those industries will never "do their thing"! It is the fox guarding the chickens kind of thing.
But the carbon tax also does nothing and is just another Great Canadian Scam.
I heard on the news how the tax goes up, but the rebates the citizens are getting are also going up and how 80% of them will be getting more carbon tax money in refunds than what they originally paid in carbon taxes !
That p* of s* Trudeau must think we have completely lost our minds??
Sorry to have to use profanities in just about every post I make, but i feel this reflects the sorrowful state of the country.
