  1. Toronto has a population of approx.' 2million car commuters , Ev"s about 3000 so about 1.5%. Tons?
  2. I did and they gave me a coupon for free ice-cream. On the back of the coupon was a message "Use if it gets warm, if it gets cold, use at someone's birthday party".
  3. You know this, stop the poor me act. Factors Contributing to Poor Forest Management Emphasis on Monoculture: Forestry practices that focus on maximizing timber yield, often through clear-cutting and promoting uniform stands of commercially valuable conifer species, can make forests less diverse and more susceptible to pests and diseases. Failure to Adopt Natural Fire Regimes: Recognizing the ecological role of fire, some experts advocate for a more balanced approach, including the controlled use of prescribed burns and wildfire use, to restore more natural fire regimes. Inadequate Funding and Political Will: There are claims that insufficient funding has been allocated to proactive forest management, and that political priorities sometimes override the need for ecologically sound fire prevention measures like prescribed burns. Inadequate Retention Harvesting: Even with improved techniques like retention harvesting, which aims to leave some trees and woody debris after logging, current practices do not adequately replicate the natural ecosystem dynamics that fire would. Fire Suppression and Fuel Buildup: A century of attempting to extinguish all forest fires has inadvertently allowed large amounts of flammable material (fuel) to accumulate. This creates conditions for more severe and widespread fires when they do occur. Consequences of Poor Management Increased Fire Severity: Uniform forests with high fuel loads are more prone to uncontrollable, large-scale wildfires. Reduced Forest Resilience: Less diverse forests are less able to adapt to changing conditions, including climate change. Threats to Communities: The greater risk of catastrophic wildfires poses a significant threat to the safety and well-being of communities located in and around forested areas. Loss of Biodiversity: Practices that create less diverse forests can harm the multitude of species that rely on these ecosystems for survival. Bong leaking"
  4. This has been said many times and yet the "sky is falling pipsqueaks" ignore it every single time.
  5. Why? Because poor forest management and short sided bullshit is climate change?
  6. That's the point, they don't work for most people. For some yes. Remove incentives and that "some" gets smaller.
  7. Refugees in your own country? Quit with the dramatics, your fooling no one.
  8. Generators that run on guess what? Stop clutching at the well maybe if this or that was around. Real life situations are real.
  9. No politician has inherant honesty, Obama included. Obama was just a more convincing liar.
  10. You mean by poor forest management and arsonists. Refugee's!!!?????
  11. Climate change refugees? WTF?
  12. Just imagine if Obama had sunk the drug boat. Thumbs up all round. The false indignation because it's Trump just shows the rabid hypocrisy.
  13. There were many gas stations still operating and we have always have 10 gal of gas stored for emergency. You can't store 10 gal of electrons.
  14. Prior to fiscal 2010, we were supported entirely by three sources: funds from the Annenberg Public Policy Center’s own resources (specifically an endowment created in 1993 by the Annenberg Foundation at the direction of the late Walter Annenberg, and a 1995 grant by the Annenberg Foundation to fund APPC’s Washington, D.C., base); additional funds from the Annenberg Foundation; and grants from the Flora Family Foundation. We currently receive support from the APPC endowment, which includes funding from the Annenberg Foundation and from the Annenberg School for Communication Trust at the University of Pennsylvania. In 2010, we began accepting donations from individual members of the public for the first time, responding to many unsolicited offers of support from our subscribers. We launched our first public appeal for donations in April 2010. At that time we also decided to disclose our finances in greater detail, so that our readers may judge for themselves whether or not any of those individual donations could influence us. We do not seek and have never accepted, directly or indirectly, any funds from unions, partisan organizations or advocacy groups. We do not accept funds from corporations with the exception of Meta, which provides funding as part of its initiative to debunk viral deceptions, and Google, which provided a one-time grant to support our COVID-19 coverage in 2020 and, along with YouTube, funded a 2024-2025 grant administered by the International Fact-Checking Network. Neither corporation seeks nor is given any control over our editorial decisions. Our policy is to disclose the identity of any donor who contributes $1,000 or more. We also disclose the total amount, average amount and number of individual donations.
  15. When fact check gets it's cheque's from anonymous sources then the anonymities become not visible.
  16. and the goalposts they are a changin.....
