For reasons that make no logical sense at all the Guardian has chosen to title an article about shark attacks “Surge in fatal shark attacks blamed on global warming”, but if you read the article itself the only reference to global warming (a phrase which I am coming to loath btw) it says “Another contributory factor to the location of shark attacks could be global warming and rising sea temperatures” — somewhat different from what the title indicates ‘eh?

A segment on CBC NewsWorld this morning talked about a group of people near Halifax who have been “forced to car pool” by current gasoline prices - they saw it as a terrible inconvenience but as far as I can see it’s the silver lining they talk about being in every cloud.

Vow to pollute and spend as much money as possible to teach them poor Gaia loving hippies a lesson they’ll never forget.

While potentially hundreds of thousands (possibly millions) of Canadians will turn off their lights and unnecessary appliances for an hour tonight at 8:00PM a small but dedicated band of fundamentalist Canadian Conservative (and conservative) climate change deniers will be out doing far more than just ignoring a phenomena they do not agree with. This group of committed individuals has dedicated itself to the process of wasting as much gas as they can, creating as much pollution as they can, and running their personal hydro bills up as high as they possibly can, in order to show people how completely unreasonable and deluded those participating in Earth Hour are.

Update: Making Sense With Nicholls: North Korea (again)

Update: Fuschi’s Canadian Forum: Won’t someone think of the things that will not be done!!

Update: The Spirit Of Man: North Korea (again)… but showing original though there is also talk of “Green-voting-tree-hugging-liberals” apparently wanting to live in caves.

Update: Stephen Harper: he was probably working, at his house and the office…. he’s just that busy.

It takes some pretty big stones (and ego) to stand up and say that “they’re wrong, I’m right” without anything to back up the assertion.

And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

A list of news articles related to the Canadian Arctic

– and snow for the 1st time in a hundred years should bring a smile to a kids face, but the homeless, hungry, and the sick children in Iraq probably didn’t appreciate it much.

Holy cow! LOOKIT all that snow and ice! OBVIOUSLY David Suzuki and Al Gore have been lying to us after all!! Oh, wait a sec…

They keep trying, you have to hand it to them, those dastardly deniers. Their sycophants just eat it up too. This is one of the best lists of TV Weathermen, pseudo scientists, energy company money beneficiaries and others just plain misquoted. It’s not surprising considering the author of the report. He’s […]

I don’t care what the media is saying, it wasn’t a storm. We were not pummeled, we were not battered, we were not lambasted, we were not mauled, and we were not pounded. I’ve seen storms, that didn’t look anything like what I’ve seen as a storm, the next ice age is not upon us, it simply snowed.

“I’ll do it if George will“…. wait, is that another Dion photo on the CPoC site?

And they wonder why we have no direction on reducing green house gases?

“I believe we have much to be pleased of from the work that we have done here,”

No man stands alone.  If only our Prime Minister had listened to the song.

A Summary of the IPCC’s Fourth Assessment Report is available online. The conclusions are significant and in more stark language than we have seen before. I anticipate a slew of “expert” denials from the right wing (as usual).
