It's getting warm

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Ehhh...

As much as we tore holes in the ozone layer, so too are there none today...Least I hear...

People forget computing gravity into all this climate change stuff. Like, heliocentric gravity.

I maintain CO2 is not a greenhouse gas.
That’s interesting. So all the scientists, from the 19th century onward, have been wrong.
Have you told them yet?

And if so, why is it getting warmer when we really should be trending toward a new ice age?
Have you forgotten our debate from years ago.

Not all scientists.

Your highlighted question is ludicrous.

Can Canada even afford to pour billions into sprucing up its lame military with how much cash we throw into healthcare? Chef is all in for making our military more powerful but at what cost? We are already taxed to death. Just ain’t seeing it happen. But we do need to pull away from being so dependent on our neighbours min saving our asses on the world stage m, if it ever comes to that.


Is it time for Canada to step out from under the shadows of America, should we make a pitch for Greenland?

Instead of billions going overseas to foreign aid…..yeah…..then you can fund the military and leave healthcare alone.

USAID being unmasked right now makes one wonder how much of the foreign money aid we’ve sent out the past 9 years has been nothing more than Trudeau marching to the beat of his Post-National WEF masters.

That's a good question Mëds. We do know he didn't shut the border out of any burning desire on his part.

What we should do is drop all interprovincial trade barriers and build pipelines west to the coast and east to the great lakes. Rather than the left wing policy of redistributing wealth, we should be creating wealth. We have a huge abundance of natural resources that the rest of the world wants. Let's get the infrastructure in place to be able to ship these resources to other countries besides the USA. Also, the regulation nightmare that is now in place for mining, oil and gas pipelines, etc., need to be streamlined.

Once we have all this in place, we will be able to afford both our healthcare system and to boost our military.

What is the signal to noise ratio in 800,000 year old data compared to today's data? What is the data point frequency in 800,000 year old data?
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Harper was proposing a coast to coast (to coast?) energy and infrastructure right of way that would allow for this kind of thing.

Getting through the gauntlet of Indians and bullshit beaurocratic baloney is chasing away all the private investment that would help foot the billa for these projects

Keep telling yourself whatever gets you through the day. :thumbs:

And that global warming is a fact gets easier to see by the day.

The last ten years are the ten hottest years on record, with 2024 being the hottest of all.

For the hundredth time, I agree global warming is a fact.

What I disagree with is that anthropogenic global warming is a fact.

I know. But most climate scientists are convinced, and I trust them more than I trust you. :look:

Most scientists that disagree are sponsored by the oil industry.
It’s kind of like those studies sponsored by tobacco companies in the 1970’s that showed smoking is good for your health
