Good luck getting to the bottom of that case.

No, didn't you hear? Obama personally developed the website, wrote all of the code and tested it himself.

Yeah, I'm sure all the scorpions & rattlesnakes will really appreciate that.

Another testament to greed and stupidity. Belly up to the bar, everyone.

Tomorrow's a new day. I'm sure it will bring something else that Rob can apologize for.

This can't happen!! Not with the Conservatives in charge of the economy!! However, the Pembina has a theory on why it's happening.

And some parts of the US may as well be on Venus, Perhaps climate change will exacerbate that.

Greenpeace has proposed its own life-saving solution. So, you are saying that Greenpeace should be denied the right to express its views. How Stalinist. How would you propose to write this law? Would it be illegal to disagree with you?

From your own link: Maybe the jury is still out on this.

So, let's all wait around while the chemistry of the atmosphere slowly changes over time. The world's biggest chemistry experiment. How many people have to die off before it's worth taking action? 10 million? 100 million? 1 billion? More??

Not true. Each jurisdiction could levy its own carbon taxes to bring carbon emissions down to whatever level is agreed to by the treaty. No gain for the UN. Each jurisdiction can do what it wishes with the proceeds. Problem solved. Carbon trading is a capitalist response stemming from the notion that solving any problem has to generate massive profits for someone.

So, dick, I have a question for you. The US is a modern, advanced country that owes a lot to science and technology. To what do you attribute the large population of fundamentalist Christians who seem to think they can pick and choose which science they will accept?

Ridiculous hyperbole.

What would be the problem with that?

When you find a lawyer who will support your contention that what Greenpeace has done falls into any criminal category, let us know. Until then, this is just hyperbole.

It's not a lie, it's a difference of views. The long term effects of GMO's has yet to be established and there are other cost-effective ways of getting Vitamin A.

carepov, you accusation that Greenpeace is guilty of crimes against humanity is so inane, the word ridiculous seems like much too mild of an adjective. Greenpeace has no ability to control the use of golden rice or anything else. They haven't tried to prevent people from getting Vitamin A, they've only advocated for more natural sources. What you call crimes against humanity is actually freedom of speech.

Wow, this ought to be called the misinformation thread - so much nonsense all together. I need an extra-large shovel to debunk this pile of crap. Below is a perfect example. How many myths can you find in two short sentences? Let's take a look. Was DDT banned in Africa? No. In fact, its use continues today in many African countries. The Stockholm convention bans DDT for agricultural use, not malaria control If there was no ban, why has the use of DDT declined? Would millions of lives have been saved if DDT usage were continued at high levels? No, the effectiveness of this poison was already declining due to resistance. IS DDT safe? NO DDT is a persistent organic pollutant (POP). In contaminated soil, it has a half life of 15-20 years. It breaks down slowly in the body and accumulates over time. It is genotoxic (causes genetic damage), linked to diabetes and is classified by the EPA as a probable carcinogen. Does the GP ideology call for fewer people? That statement is so offensive and idiotic, I won't bother responding. WTF is a GP ideology?

I dunno - maybe a dark, tragic, not-very-funny Homer Simpson. I could see Chief Blair as Chief Wiggum though.

Hopefully, nationalism and military idolatry don't happen much in Canada. Neither is pretty and both have been used by tyrants and tyrant-wannabe's to get the population to readily go do war.

Some form of world governance eventually is inevitable. It's just a question of when.

Not a bad thought. Know where I can get some?

Ford is what you would get if you crossed Jethro Bodine and Tony Soprano. In a city of 3 million, they can't find a real person better than that?

yes.
