Zeitgeist Posted September 7, 2023 Report Posted September 7, 2023 Nothing the government has done on “climate change” has mitigated climate change. Get real. Quote

The Reagan-Bush administrations partnered with Brian Mulroney to sign the Acid Rain Accord with Canada. Of course that was back in 1980s before mega corporations owned the political right wing parties of western nations. Quote

Or are you rehashing the stupid argument that the people who weren't chickenshit of a little needle were the fools? Arguing that they're doing the wrong thing is fine - arguing doing nothing about it is plain wrong. There is a long list of things the government did that was slow, or just plain stupid, collaborating with china for a vaccine ya that was smart, shutting down the country off to outside travel was way to late, dividing the people over the whole issue was stupid.... there is so many more.....but you already know that, The needle thing did not count for squat, the country was way past the 90% mark and we were still in lock downs...This was not our first pandemic we have been though ...and we were not prepared...still are not prepared. I know in one ear out the other...I'm posting this for my pet hamster to read, becasue he has got more common sense than any plan developed by the liberals, or liberal voters. Y2K was one big scare that never even became an issue, billions of wasted dollars, experts said this is going to be bad.... same as climate change , yes we are all saying out loud, it is real, but we are not prepared to spend the kind of money that is required to make a difference...., and the plan we have today was printed on used shit paper...That produces torture to those middle class and lower class Canadians, it produces no to little results. the difference between the left and the right is the right know the plan is crap, the left are content atleast it is a plan...we don't care if it works, take my money i'm happy to take it in the bum and do my part of "nothing". Quote We, the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have now done so much for so long with so little, we are now capable of doing anything with nothing.

CdnFox Posted September 8, 2023 Report Posted September 8, 2023 5 minutes ago, Aristides said: Y2K wasn't an issue because companies spent billions upgrading their software to account for it. Utterly untrue. Some spent money but not much, and in many cases there was no way to do upgrades. It was a hardware issue. You siply couldn't replace all the hardware. The fact is it was thought to be a big problem, but it turned out it was not. And that was largely known before new years. Companies knew that the machines would keep working, planes would still fly, turbines would still produce power. But the media kept running with it, hyping it up, finding the occasional 'expert' who said it might be worse than we think, yadda yadda - tv shows had live broadcasts from around the world to see if everything fell apart. It was the biggest yawn since geraldo cracked open capone's 'vault'. And thats normal. The media takes things and blows them up into a story. So people are naturally suspicious. Quote
herbie Posted September 8, 2023 Report Posted September 8, 2023 Hey let's get back on track, This is about climate. Drawing comparisons to how the govt handled or should have handled Covid is only relevant to the Negative Nellies who will never be convinced govt can do anything right. Yeah, they started too late. Yeah, no one likes paying tax. No, alternative energy isn't necessarily more expensive. Yes carbon taxes and recycling fees work to an extent, you think about the cost and most of us reduced our driving and don't toss beer cans out the window. Give us some alternatives, PP & the Tories sure as hell can't. Quote

"JUST BECAUSE THE GOV"T MISHANDLED A BUNCH OF OTHER ISSUES THEY CLAIMED WERE SUPER IMPORTANT DOESN"T MEAN WE SHOULDN"T TRUST THEM BLINDLY NOW!!!!" -every leftist, probably. Sorry - track record does matter. And you lying about it doesn't help. Sorry - carbon taxes don't work. We've had 15 years plus to watch it in bc and even the climate doomsdayers have given up defending it. The federal one has done nothing either. Nothing. Emissions are shooting up. The latest polls show the vast majority of the population has realized it doesn't work. And it can't work. If you think about it for just a minute the only way it CAN work is if it drives the economy into utter ruin. Otherwise it doesn't work. It does put a tonne of money into the pockets of the gov't tho. Quote

My point is if they were so effective why was the RCMP and Military placed on short notice to move to combat what they thought would be total electronic loss of everything, from banks to government...they had no idea they conquered this thing until the next day... There are so many holes in the covid response it is hard to say with any degree of accuracy that the liberals covid response was successful...It was best guess, and just throw money at it, until it stops bleeding...maybe i was in a different dimension than you experienced...

There has been 1600 scientists and 7 top economists that have said that a climate crisis does not exist. It's all just a fraud. All this nonsense about all of this dangerous carbon in the air is a lie. The more carbon in the air the more plant life will grow and survive which is great for we humans because plants give off oxygen which helps keep we humans alive. Without carbon plants or humans or animals would not be here. While the west tries to impose carbon taxes to tries to stop all carbon emissions, in China, they are building more and more coal powered plants. So, why we taxpayer's in the west have to sacrifice our normal lives and pay carbon taxes to fight climate change, the Chinese just keep adding more carbon in the air. This climate crisis is all about the money, like everything else is in life. When our politicians and the lying and fake MSM try and push an agenda, like with climate change crisis today, one should know by now that it has to be all bullshit. When was the last time our politicians and the MSM told the truth about anything, except what they want we the sheeple to believe? I do not believe in a climate crisis and neither should you. There are many scammers out there making plenty of money off this climate crisis scam. Al Gore being one of them. Gore hav mad millions trying to get people all up in a panic over nothing, and make plenty of dollars from it. Yet, these same liar like Gore refuse to heed their own warnings and words. Gore will still fly by private jet, drive big gas guzzling SUV'S and own several homes. These liars laugh at those who believe their lies. Come on people, wake the hell up, will you. Stop listening to those liars. They are just trying to make big bucks off of trying to scare you half to death. What say you? Source: The Iron Will Report. ☺️ They're using that too to distract people from things seriously going wrong in Canada - from corruption, housing shortages, problems with influx of refugees, inflation, increasing poverty, CARBON TAX, violence on our streets, etc.., Not to mention, Trudeau is down in the polls, so scaring people about the climate............could do the trick to bounce him up again. Biden won, because of covid fear. Trudeau won the last time, because of covid fear. FEAR-MONGERING worked well for them before. Edited September 10, 2023 by betsy 1 Quote

Before he weaponized covid in the last one it was all about 'conservatives will make abortion illegal", which is such a massive crock it's not even funny. Hell - going back to harper they've pulled this - "Soldiers. In our streets. We're not making this up." But i think you're right - the people aren't going to care about that nearly as much when they can't afford to live. Climate change is a wealthy nation's' problem.

SpankyMcFarland Posted September 10, 2023 Report Posted September 10, 2023 This thread started with an allegation about climate change and has rapidly moved on to Canadian politics. Let’s go back to the claims made in the OP. Firstly, please provide a link that names these 1600 scientists (I don’t care what an economist thinks about it ) and what their relevant areas of expertise are.
