They have it in the Arctic to ya know?
Speaking to hundreds at a Canadian Club luncheon, Natynczyk recalled travelling to Ellesmere Island this past and seeing a vast blue sea that extended off its shores for 100 nautical miles.
Funny how that happens every summer.
Global warming ? its a myth.. right?
So true Kenmore. Its rare a liberal supporter speaks so much truth. I also hear that the earth is 6000yrs old and the reason there are layered fossils is because of a giant flood. I was really saddened when Stephen harper joined the liberal Global warming conspiracy! Also the earth is flat you betcha.
Global warming is not exactly working out for the alarmists as planned, thus they switched to 'climatye change' so they can blame any change in the climate on man.
Well said Bart

I don't know whether mankind is behind the changes or not, but it is getting warmer, at least in Edmonton. I've lived here for almost four decades and NEVER seen rain in February, but we got that this year. Edmonton STILL doesn't have a lick of snow, and it's almost November. To top it off, it's still above zero here and some of the grass is still green if you can believe it.
I know one year does not a change make, but it's been getting worse (or better if you hate the cold/snow) each year since I got back from overseas in 2001. Winter takes longer to get here and the snow is gone quicker each spring. Hell, the last couple of years we didn't even gt snow in early May, which used to always happen.
Deny it if you want, but the climate is changing. I'll be the first to admit I'm not enough of a scientist to know exactly what, but change is afoot.

Even if you are a scientist, it just gets more confusing, and the arguments more abstruse as you delve into it. Each side has a massive marketing campaign (made up primarily of idealogue types with little awareness of the science).

�Reid Bryson, �Global Ecology; Readings towards a rational strategy for Man�, (1971)
The battle to feed humanity is over. In the 1970s, the world will undergo famines. Hundreds of millions of people are going to starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now. Population control is the only answer.
�Paul Ehrlich, in The Population Bomb (1968)
I would take even money that England will not exist in the year 2000.
�Paul Ehrlich in (1969)
In ten years all important animal life in the sea will be extinct. Large areas of coastline will have to be evacuated because of the stench of dead fish.
�Paul Ehrlich, Earth Day (1970)
Before 1985, mankind will enter a genuine age of scarcity�in which the accessible supplies of many key minerals will be facing depletion.
�Paul Ehrlich in (1976)
This trend will reduce agricultural productivity for the rest of the century.
�Peter Gwynne, Newsweek 1976
There are ominous signs that the earth�s weather patterns have begun to change dramatically and that these changes may portend a drastic decline in food production�with serious political implications for just about every nation on earth. The drop in food production could begin quite soon� The evidence in support of these predictions has now begun to accumulate so massively that meteorologist are hard-pressed to keep up with it.
�Newsweek, April 28, (1975)
This cooling has already killed hundreds of thousands of people. If it continues and no strong action is taken, it will cause world famine, world chaos and world war, and this could all come about before the year 2000.
�Lowell Ponte in �The Cooling�, 1976
If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder by the year 2000. � This is about twice what it would take to put us in an ice age.

Well you can believe Paul Elhrich--though given teh temperature record for th last 150 years that would be a stretch. Also, he made several rather outlandish claims, including that millions of Americans would starve to death in the 1970s, and that England would not exist in the year 2000 and that life expectancy in the US would drop to 42 by 1980. Seems like he's batting a pretty lousy average to me. But, hey, if you want to listen to Paul and his global cooling theories--fill yer boots!
Or maybe you can believe the scientific consensus that says that we are in a warming trend. Or maybe the World Meteeological Organization who said in 1976 that warned that a very significant warming of the global climate was probable.

Goodness! Thank God that the climate started warming up instead of continuing this perilous cooling trend of the 1970's!

That's the problem,too many new age Paul Elrich's out there that get the media and the publics ear.
Hard to tell the shit from the shinola.
