This is depressing: Canada is warming at twice the global rate.
So says a leaked report "...authored by government scientists from the ministries of Environment and Climate Change, Fisheries and Oceans, and Natural Resources, with contributions from university experts". Coincidentally, it comes on the same day a federal carbon tax is imposed on regions of the country that do not already have such a measure in place (gasoline prices increased by four cents per litre immediately). Here's the news article from the CBC [cbc.ca]
Interestingly, the report is quoted as saying "...while warming in Canada has been the result of both human activity and natural variations in the climate, 'the human factor is dominant,' especially emissions of greenhouse gases". Moreover, the forecast is bleak, unless we take action. And this is the point at which the depression kicks in.
As it happens, in one of my previous posts "Some educators seem to suffer from cognitive dissonance when describing the atmospheric greenhouse ...", @HereNow commented with the following YouTube video
Its election time. This is paid for biased science to create fear and panic so people will vote Liberal. Its propaganda fear mongering.
It isn't funny at all that it is on the same day as the carbon taxes, if it is actually a real concern. Of course incentives need to be put in the right places to move away from a carbon economy if carbon emissions are the main threat
Funny that this report comes out on April Fools Day, and on the same day that the government is raising carbon taxes?
Could the release of this report be to quell the outrage that Canadians feel because they are already TAXED TO DEATH and they know that there is no way in hell that an additional tax is going to actually reduce carbon emissions?
We all only have 12 years according to AOC, but we'll miss you Canada. Can we have your stuff?
I really HATE this stuff. Politicizing science is a very bad idea. Period.
I've always been really interested in religions, and the propagation of this secular-religious-dogma is fascinating to watch. These people go apoplectic at the suggestion, given their hatred of Christianity. But, the parallels are just too tantalizing to ignore. It's so entertaining to watch and wonder when the light bulb is going to go on for them--when they finally see the similarities to religion for themselves. On the dark side, I've wondered if that moment would follow some horrifically violent act--which would take the amusement part of it right out...
I would like our politicians to explain their premise as to how they are going to stop climate change.
The earth's atmosphere is 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and . 9% argon. These total 99.9%.
Carbon makes up . 039% of the atmosphere.
Canada was emitting 2% of the world's carbon emissions when Chretien was PM. It dropped to 1.5% in the last ten years, a 25% decrease without any carbon tax.
1.5% of . 039% is . 000585%
If Canada stops ALL carbon emissions including everyone stop breathing, we could drop the world's carbon percentage by less than one one thousandth of one percent.
Encourage you to look at potholer54’s youtube channel, he frequently debunks these claims about climate change.
No one with a working brain should believe these lies
