The problem is the garbage

The problem is the garbage "science", or rather the pseudo religion of so called "economics", nobody dares to question, or even examine the crap being taught in our universities.

Ed Deak.

I would love to know what I can do about this....

I bet even fewer Canadians believe in AGW either. The real question is what can we do? My city has adopted the Campbell commitment to a 30% reduction in GHG's by 2020 and so what? We have no chance of hitting that target until we run out of oil.

The Deniers Have Won. Former believers rule! Move on!!

Even believers won't vote for taxes to make the weather colder and lower the seas with lifestyle sacrifice.
The new denier is anyone who still thinks voters will vote yes to taxing the air.
Face it. The deniers have won. Did we actually think that crying crisis for another 25 years of CO2 panic and fear mongering was sustainable? No. It's over. Now we can stop condemning our children to a CO2 death just to get them to turn the lights off more often.
History will not be kind to us for what we have done to science, progressivism and journalism.

Canada

I'm from Canada and my city of a half million has not had a smog day in over 5 years.
I'm a former believer but still on board for all other environmental issues.

Criminal Charges

I'm not the only one emailing authorities and law makers and the justice department to have the leading scientists and NEWS EDITORS charged for this needless panic of a false war called Climate Change.
We missed getting Bush.............

I think you need to look again my friend.
In 1990 Ontario led Alberta in the emissions department - not any more.

The statistics are pretty clear:

As the world cools.......

And it looks like it's going to stay cool for quite a while, we should be preparing for it.

"Global, very prolonged, temperature drop
What lies ahead “is not catastrophic warming, but a global, and very prolonged, temperature drop,” says Dr. Habibullo Abdussamatov"

Unfortunately, 71% of Canadians still think the Earth is warming and humans are the cause. Suzuki will have a great deal to answer for.

Too bad Gordo and the Governator are no longer around to be excoriated for their role in this lunacy. At least let's get the bandwagon going to get rid of the carbon tax.

"Delegates from roughly 180

"Delegates from roughly 180 countries are currently meeting in Bonn, Germany, to discuss solutions for a rapidly warming planet." Rapidly Warming?

There has been no warming for 16 years and 5 months. http://wizbangblog.com/content/2010/02/14/climate-scientist-phil-jones-no-global-warming-since-1995.php

We are currently entering a cool PDO phase. A 30 year cooling cycle. http://www.climate-skeptic.com/2009/11/temperature-cycles.html

The .338 warming trend with the up and down sine wave pattern has held since the little ice age ended. These warming and cooling trends correlate to solar activity not Co2. http://www.climate-skeptic.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/slide51.jpg

The IPCC knowingly fudged the solar data to make the case that only man made Co2 could explain recent warming. How this was done despite the written objections to the incorrect data adjustments by the scientists who operated the satilites and compiled the data. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKOvszg8PXc

It's incredible anyone belives in AGW.

Most of Alberta's carbon emissions don't result from the oil sands but their coal fired power plants. And the oil sands produce more electricity than they consume (nat gas) so the coal isn't from them.

I wouldn't trust the EC numbers unless you know how they are arrived at. Alberta is charge for carbon that is produce by Alberta but burned in Ontario.

Not only failed science but math too?

The numbers are from Statistics Canada

They measured the emissions from the whole country and ALBERTA won the contest...the stats are a bit old so you can be certain Alberta is even more in the lead now.

I don't trust anyone who thinks his 'opinions' count as much as empirical facts and who resorts to shameless name calling when his unsubstantiated prejudices are called out in an impartial and entirely empirical way.

Come back when you have some actual facts on for your case, in the meantime I'll ignore you.

The fact is, you simply don't know what you're talking about.

Dang! The emmissions goin' on here

are something to behold. Whichever jurisdiction that is putting out the most CO2 should be given a prize by all of us grateful that vegetation gets to grow a wee bit more in a CO2 starved atmosphere.

I suggest all you science challenged bozos who still believe in restricting CO2 in the mistaken belief that it will make a whit of difference to either climate or temperature
just spend a while reading here:

CO2 is LIFE

Call it "emissions" all you like. It still does not make CO2 a danger.

Blaming the "Tea Party"

has got to be the most simplistic of the simple minded explanations for the growth of the realistic assessment of the lack of human involvement in changing climate.

What is most annoying about it is it ignores
"The Black Hole of Global Warming Spending"
"In 2011, your federal government will spend $10.6 million a day on climate change. Annual expenditures will be about $4 billion on global warming research—now called climate change–despite the fact that there has been no global warming since 1998, says the Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF), a British educational think tank.

Billions have been wasted so far, although periods of cooling and warming have occurred naturally throughout history. Fossil fuels—Petroleum, natural gas and coal are the assigned “villains.” Yet, “no conclusive evidence shows that fossil fuels to produce energy have had any significant effect on the earth’s temperature,” GWPF concludes. In December 2010, more than 1,000 international scientists challenged man-made global warming claims made by the United Nations Governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

What is inexplicable and inexcusable is the amount of our nation’s money that has been spent on climate change since that UN Panel, composed mainly of research-money-seeking scientists, invented global warming. Al Gore helped dramatize it with dire warnings that terrorized school children, to his mega-million-dollar benefit. Even more confounding is that added U.S. dollars will be poured into continuing research in 2011."

Be happy for the planet that it won't die from CO2 after all.

Climate Change was a specific CO2 death threat, not sustainability:

This self loathing of Climate Change’s unstoppable warming, where Humans were the toxic species that poison’s itself, was in contrast to our immortality syndrome of elevating ourselves to the status of Climate Change Gods. Because only immortal Gods could have made the weather colder with taxes.

Ug Ug. Weather Gods are angry. Must sacrifice to please angry weather Gods. Ug Ug.

Thanks to Climate Change, we spent 25 years threatening our very own children with “Death by CO2” if they didn’t start turning the lights out more often. And this was civilized?
The CO2 science of the IPCC’s Climate Change was:
1-There “will” be effects from human CO2.
2-Ranging from negligible to none, to runaway unstoppable warming turning our planet into another hot Venus. Gee, what’s not to have agreed with?
Every scientist (that outnumbered the protesters), had their own special definition of climate change’s proposed effects, so lets just see it for what it was.
“Climate change was a lab coat consultant’s dream, and an exaggeration, a mistake, a well intentioned lie and a comfortable lie.”

And scientists could have studied the effects of something that never happened all they wanted. It still wouldn’t have made Climate Change real.
Real civilized people didn’t WANT this misery to not be true. There is plenty of good evidence now to be a former believer. This is good news for the planet. The danger of CO2 death is gone. If you love the planet, be glad it has been saved.

Meanwhile, the UN had allowed carbon trading to trump 3rd world fresh water relief, starvation rescue and 3rd world education for just over 25 years of climate control instead of the obviously needed population control. Nice!

Path of Folly

If there is the smallest inkling of data suggesting humans are causing global warming we should change our path. But the database supporting the message that the north american lifestyle is causing serious problems around the world is growing by leaps and bounds. The contrarians will always want their message to dominate but the stink from their ideas is definitely rotten.

We are manifestations of the natural world and must work within its parameters or perish. The capitalist system is not sustainable, never will be sustainable and consumerism is a really bad concept. Keep marching on the path of folly if you want but I will be working in cooperation with many thousands of others to lower my carbon footprint and give my kids and grandkids the ability to find happiness. You know the saying... tuum est...it is up to you.

Delusional deniers

I see the anti-science deniers are out in full force with their oil-industry-approved talking points. But really? CO2 is plant food? Global cooling? How long can they keep repeating these debunked lies? We know that some people are paid by industry to spread lies and misinformation; the others are just fools who buy into the anti-science propaganda.

Here's just one source for the reality behind the industry spin:
