Don't worry, we won't be burning fossil fuels in 50 years, so no worries. The projections will fall apart after that.

They will still worry themselves to death anyway....fun stuff!

Someone has to worry over the "children" until they become smart enough to think for themselves.

Check out Patton Oswalt in Lemonade War, part of the We The Economy series. All of the films are short, entertaining and totally worth watching. https://wetheeconomy.com/films/lemonade-war/

And I heard the voice of Lord saying: Whom shall I send and who will go for Us? And... I said: Here am I , send me(Quoted in movie called Fury)

That movie was awful. The unrealistic final battle scene was terrible.
-
No, it was disturbing. What war can do to a person and to a country. The battles were living second by second, waiting for the shell with your name on it. Some amazing acting too. I couldn't help but wonder if today's generation could defeat a Hitler. I don't think they could.

Canadian band The Tea Party turns down a million dollar offer from the political movement to buy their domain name. Jeff Martin says the band will "never" meet an offer from the Tea Party because it does not agree with its politics. Martin believes the movement "represents the worst of America ... Intolerance, veiled racism and uninformed opinions".

Well to be fair, Neil Young exploited American Indians (Crazy Horse), not First Nations.
-
Neil Young is an American style racist now is he? You know if you just backed off this type of nonsense we might be able to make you some sort of honorary Canuck and then you could be happy.

Why...it would just be another wannabe American knock off.

It's getting harder for the Harperites to lie about the environmental file. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-debate/canadas-perpetual-climate-charade/article21032688/

Hey, I'm glad they can admit that humans have to step in to correct the immorality of their god.

Yes, a step in the right direction.

Still telling that a Vatican discussion on "issues relating to the family" includes only men.

Humans have killed off half of the world wildlife population in just 40 years! http://grist.org/list/weve-killed-off-half-the-worlds-wildlife-in-40-years-and-ive-got-something-in-my-eye/

Actually I think it was pigs that killed off the dodo. But humans did the introducing.

Vertebrates are things with bones. Anything from frogs to elephants.

Several municipalities are using online voting systems. It's nice that we're finally moving forward on that front.
-
Even if it doesn't work sometimes and can lead to electoral fraud.
-
We have online banking, medical records and tax filings. We are more apt to see fraud with human vote counters and gatekeepers.
-
So are we gonna keep voting records of how people voted? That's the only way it's comparible to banking and medical.

"Monday, Google made waves — and kick-started an exodus — by cutting ties with the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). The reason, according to Google chairman Eric Schmidt? The free market lobbying group is 'just literally lying' about climate change."

Stephen Harper's point man won't answer question about why he won't answer questions. The CPC and Paul Calandra get a well deserved national face-palm!

Do you reckon Calandra was spouting another Harper talking point, or is he gonna get taken to the woodshed when "daddy" get's back from the big city?
-
I think the problem was Calandra had only memorized one talking point and really had no choice. Thinking for himself would have meant an instant firing, so better to repeat it and take his chances.
-
Oh we all know there is no thinking allowed, but do you think he may have memorized the wrong point and now he's in big kaka? There may have to be a power meeting in the PMO. Make the check payable to....

Unreal exchange in the HOC regarding Canadian involvement in Iraq. I'm happy that Mulcair questioned the integrity of the speaker in this case. http://globalnews.ca/video/1578828/unreal-exchange-in-house-of-commons-over-canadas-involvement-in-iraq

So am I. I watched this in real time and damn near fell off my chair. I posted about it on the "Trudeau" thread. Hapres bum boy outdid himself today for sure.
-
I had hopes for better but was not surprised when today Scheer got to his feet and basically tried to make a joke of the whole thing. It just confirmed his lack of neutrality IMO and further made a joke of his party.

Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin can openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed-interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisure wear and matching luggage. ... Choose your future. Choose life . . . But why would I want to do a thing like that? - Irving Welsh, Trainspotting

Great movie!

Completely overrated.

The choose this, choose that monologue from Trainspotting reminds me very much of the Ikea scene from Fight Club.

I love the Big History course concept that starts at the origin of (at least our area of) the Universe and covers everything up until today. I've read and listened to a few Big Histories...but thankfully Crashcourse is now doing one. Check it out here (http://goo.gl/5FhShi) along with their other awesome courses.

According to Forbes Obama is the best economic POTUS in modern history. He even outperforms Reagan, the Republican rock star. http://www.forbes.com/sites/adamhartung/2014/09/05/obama-outperforms-reagan-on-jobs-growth-and-investing/

Experts overwhelmingly disagree with my amateur-sourced opinion. Therefore.....THEY ARE PART OF A MASSIVE CONSPIRACY!

“Don’t undermine the science just because you don’t like the economics. That’s a dangerous slope, because the problem of course is you’re not undermining just that, you’re undermining the basis of rational decision-making in society.” - Brian Cox http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2014/sep/03/brian-cox-scientists-climate-change

Wildfires don't exist! If they do they aren't being made worse by man. If they are then there is nothing we can do about it anyway. Drill Baby Drill! http://goo.gl/ByckKw

"I can see what he is saying about increased kindling from hotter drier summers." more baloney. Forest fires are self regulting. Big ones happen when conditions are right: wind, thatch,deadfalls and lightning. Once an area burns, climate change or not, it won't have a big fire for a couple of decades.
-
When global warming provides more fuel the fires get bigger. Try this if you have a fireplace. build a small fire and then throw in an armful or dead wood and see what happens. Just don't sue me if you burn your house down OK?
-
"When global warming provides more fuel the fires get bigger.' Really? Global warming means more hot dry weather, right? Trees (the fuel for fires) grow much netter when the weather is wetter. And once any forest burns, it does not burn again easily because the fuel is gone. How then does the new forest germinate again in dry weather? Note that forest fires are good for large mammal populations. The big trees die off, which opens up the bush and allows the small stuff they graz...

Might be fascinating, may be a pain in the ass. Depends where it is and if an government agency gets involved and deems his property an archeological site, then expropriates it!

All you have to do is look at the cast of "characters" on the top of that page to figure they won't likely be convincing many women, especially those college grads, of much of anything. Perhaps give 'em an F for F'fort.
-
I think it's wrong to stereotype women voters as always looking for a handout.

I love it when Republicans demonstrate how under developed they really are.
