      Posted by SoxFirst

      A study has found that an overwhelming majority of people agreed it would be necessary to make changes in their lifestyle and behaviour to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. But there were limits. Only half approved higher taxes for energy and coal although this rose to 77 per cent if the tax raised was specifically devoted to promoting energy efficiency or developing cleaner fuels.

    • TheStar.com | comment | Our diversity makes us a think-tank for the world

      Posted by Sarahfelicity from Toronto Star

      To date, most discussions of diversity and multiculturalism in Canada have focused on the need for promoting mutual respect and tolerance. But this thinking misses the idea that Canada's success at integrating its diversity has effectively transformed the country into the global crossroads. Canada can and should serve as a global think-tank focused on finding solutions to some of the world's most intractable problems: ethnic and religious strife, urban poverty and pollution.

    Boil Them In Big Oil? Let’s Start With You! : Conservative Politics Today

    The old saying is still true. "Figures don’t lie, but liars can figure."  Move to hydrocarbon free energy ? Great idea !  Build "green" homes ? Another great idea. Build a religion around blaming human activity for global warming ? Not so good.  The man behind the curtain will always be exposed.

    GM's Bob Lutz: global warming "still a crock"

    Umm. Have you ever heard of this thing they call “Science”? There are no credible scientists anywhere on the planet who doubt the findings of the IPCC. Bob Lutz clearly is not a scientist, and clearly doesn’t know **** from shinola.

    GM's Bob Lutz: global warming "still a crock"

    Although I wouldn’t use foul language to express my view on global warming, Mr. Bob Lutz of GM is correct in his statement. Nevertheless, I believe the earth warms and cools, but it is neither our fault nor can we prevent it. We need clear air, and we’ve had it for some time now, but perfect air to breath will never happen!
    Perhaps, in another 25 years we will need global warming, because the earth will cool again as it has done so in the past. Our leaders will still be hung on global warming, and we won’t be able to stop all the money from flowing to it, because ‘global warming’ isn’t about the earth heating up, it’s about ‘the powers that be’; to be in control of the populous, and leveling the world economies.
    When the people are convinced they are doing something good, it’s all but imposible to turn their momentum around, and our leadship will lead America into the abiss of financial doom. All this will create a one world government over a poor people, which mostly will be accepted because we believed we were doing something good.

    Once a snowball like this heads downhill, it can’t be stopped!
