THE NEW One and Only Climate Change Whatever...

Re: THE NEW One and Only Climate Change Whatever...

Well, surprise surprise, I did not measure the snowfall on March 8, 2000.
However, I do remember most years as a young lad in the 60's having lots of the white stuff to build some impressive snowbanks for our backyard rink. In recent years, less snow. Now I am sure Vlad will be happy to remind us that this is insufficient data to prove climate change is happening or that it is manmade.

Nevertheless, I am just saying....there is less snow now that when I was a child.
And I have the hockey sticks to prove it. :D

This is purely psychological. As a boy you noticed the snow because you played in it and welcomed it. As an adult you try to ignore it and hope it will go away. This is less evidence than a journey down the windmills of your mind. Rosebud.

And let's not forget nuclear energy....talk about a virtually inexhaustible energy source.

I was reading they are going to revamp Darlington for the second half of its life span. I worked on that when it was being built and somehow it doesn't seem that long. They were saying in the Newspaper the NDP is critical of the decision. Kind of caught me by surprise considering how many union jobs are involved.

Life is good. When the oil runs out, if it ever does we will just use coal and natural gas. No Mel Gibson Mad Max scenarios are even necessary.

I'm sure Paul's friends are busy forging memos to prove its true and Paul will post the results as some kind of smoking gun proof. I currently am left with a wave/particle duality when it comes to Paul. Either he is just dumb or being intentionally dishonest. Either way these two theories offer adequate explanations of his every post in this thread and others.

It was kind of cold today. I could use some global warming, man-made or otherwise. There are always people claiming that we are on the verge of some disaster or another. Peak oil, AGW, AGC, the Club of Rome, peak wheat. Cassandra's abound but somehow we keep muddling our way through and there is more oil today than there was the first time I argued about peak oil with someone over a decade and a half ago.

Is that how you see all issues? As big scary monsters?

On March 8 of 2000, temperatures in London and Windsor were high...

How much of that white stuff you call snow did you have those days?

Re: THE NEW One and Only Climate Change Whatever...

But this thread is about climate change. Gratuitous cheap shots at the CFC executive are off topic, unless Gary is blaming the CFC for climate change too.

I didn't understand what your claim to be "old and blind" has to do with climate change so I simply tried to help you out. :D

Didya know, this being March (and I don't think that is disputable) the average temperature in these parts increase by 2 degrees every week for the month?

On March 8 of 2000, temperatures in London and Windsor were high.. Outliers are not uncommon.

Uniquely qualified to serve on the CFC executive. :p

Well at last, a sentence from Gary that is comprehensible.
Wrong, but at least we can understand his meaning.

Maybe I don't understand your comments because I am very very old and blind! :D:D

You want snow in the winter and seem to support things like the climate change stuff. Seems like you're being yourself.

Again, what?
Oh well, never mind.

Now I must run. I want to watch the Iditerod on TV. They run that on snow, don't ya know? Starts today.

You can check it.

I'd let you have my auto signature but you don't have anything to trade for it.

What? Why would I trade for your "auto signature"?
I have no idea where this comment comes from.

Re: THE NEW One and Only Climate Change Whatever...

blah blah blah blah whatever....

when I was a young boy, we had this powdery cold substance that fell from the sky in the wintertime.....I believe it was called snow.

Just one question,..... where has all the snow gone?

I'd let you have my auto signature but you don't have anything to trade for it.

Personally, I like rain. Rain doesn't normally have to be shoveled.

"Let’s say you are walking down a trail in the wilderness with your wife and kids, and you come upon a grizzly sow, standing on a carcass. She charges, flat out. You’re in front of your family. What do you do? Just give up? Pretend it’s not happening? Let her maul you and everything your care about? Of course you don’t. You take action. That is how I see climate change. It’s real, it’s threatening everything we love. Not taking action is not an option." Todd Tanner

Island of Ottawa, with a 60 meter sea level rise...

You know Paul, playing chess is supposed to help you with your mathematical aptitude. Ottawa is 114 meters above sea level. A 60 meter sea level rise would leave Ottawa unchanged. Don't trust a climate scientist when there is mathematics required.

Just keeping it real. HTH.

I on the other hand would like to see Ottawa would look like with a 60 IQ point increase. :):) Or maybe it wouldn't make much difference either...:D:D
