A simple question about snow

Okay, at the risk of banishment, I must say that's just about the dumbest thing I have ever read. I mean, PolyNewbie comes up with some doozies, but this is just fucking stupid.

Edmonton used to be a pretty good town until some of the most certifiable loonies of political correctness on the planet came to power on city council. A couple of the worst were Riemer and Gomberg, Gomberg who later jumped off a bridge down east somewhere and floated out to sea and was never seen again. These two, and there were others, are the two most responsible for driving all kinds of businesses out of Edmonton and causing many others to not go there in the first place. Riemer and Gormgerg actually made a pilgrimage to visit Fidel's island prison, and came back saying how wonderful it was to see everyone riding bikes. Of course failing to mention that it was not by choice. Anyways, it was a time that saw Edmonton become known as Redmonton and plunged the city into years of a socialist dark ages which to this day it has never recovered from.

You forgot about Landslide Annie.

But what does Stignasty's post have to do with Edmonton?

It is the left that wants to bring about economic collapse. Shutting down our economy and throwing thousands and thousands out of work is economic collapse. If fact it will lead to war. People aren't just going to lose everything they've worked for and starve to death for you. They are going to kill you.

I thought there might be some use in showing how an organization with a somewhat different perspective from the lefties is looking at the facts behind global warming.

If that report's right there isn't a **** thing we can do about it.

Of course you are right, far better we prepare for war because we know the positives that can come out of that one. Naturally the DoD is going to look at it from a particular point of view.

or alternatively we might try to lessen the extent of the damage by doing a little conserving and sequestering.

That report is years old and is speculation based on a false assumption.

Here go the jobs and peoples houses. Which is the objective of the screwball class.

His post has nothing to do with Edmonton. In fact his post has nothing to do with anything. Look in the left column where he says he's from deepest darkest Alberta.

The problem is not that climate change may be man made but that people live in huge concentrations that are difficult to move. Will there be another interglacial period that makes much of the current heavily populated temperate belts either less agriculturally productive or downright uninhabitable? Quite definitely. Will New York City (and perhaps points either north or south) eventually be re-buried under Ice Age ice sheets? No question about it.

How much "sequestering" or "conservation" can one do about that? Probably, quite little. Better to watch the free market deal with changes that, in most respects, will be somewhat gradual than to try to have a bunch of Keystone Kops central planners spend billions accomplishing nothing.

On an individual basis that's a little like asking how much alcohol can you do without even though you are an alcoholic. As a person you can plant trees, travel by transit, refuse to fly, buy locally grown food, support and buy energy from clean, local, and renewable alternatives, insulate your home and workplace, well maybe not the latter unless it's your workplace, put in efficient lighting systems, work for the greening of our cities, use your talents to spread the alternative means of achieving similar goals in the neighbourhood, region, watershed, nation, and internationally.

I get the impression you're not the type who generally underestimates yourself, Why start here.
