Y2Kyoto: An Incovenient Cartoon

What country is Maurice Strong hiding in again?

The Mo is in China.
What a bunch of scummy scammers.

MS has been hiding in Beijing ever since he was named on an INTERPOL arrest warrant for pocketing some ill gotten loot from the Oil For Food Program that was run by the UN supposedly for the benefit of the Iraqi people.

That's one big stack. It looks like the Chinese are over compensating for something.

Greenpeace and Earth First, and all the other environmentally conscious activists, should go over to China and parade about in protest of their terrible ways.

Start with a big one in Tiananmen Square for starters, the Chinese government will be SOOOOO embarrassed.

Coal production by state;

Obama's home state of Illinois ranks way up there at # 2 with 78 Billions annually. A huge 16.7 percent of all US production.

You first, Barry. Tell the good people of Illinois they are SOL.

Also, this is missing "not to scale"

If so, would the oilsands be visible??

In other news, the UK's top climate hysteric claims the sky is falling and we can't catch it:

http://www.montrealgazette.com/Technology/Life+doomed+climate+woes+British+scientist/1328177/story.html

Climate change will wipe out most life on Earth by the end of this century and mankind is too late to avert catastrophe, a leading British climate scientist said.

James Lovelock, 89, famous for his Gaia theory of the Earth being a kind of living organism, said higher temperatures will turn parts of the world into desert and raise sea levels, flooding other regions.

His apocalyptic theory foresees crop failures, drought and death on an unprecedented scale. The population of this hot, barren world could shrink from about seven billion to one billion by 2100 as people compete for ever-scarcer resources.

"It will be death on a grand scale from famine and lack of water," Lovelock told Reuters in an interview on Wednesday. "It could be a reduction to a billion (people) or less."

Of course, with rising sea levels, the 2/3rds of the planet that is currently covered by water will increase. But hey, consistency isn't this lunatic's strong point. I wonder if this "scientist" has heard of the desalination plant...

Need to add a fourth stack to that illustration.

Ontario Power Generation (that's Dulton, the Ontario Liberal party and the Home of Hypocrisy, otherwise known as Toronto)

Every year they are burning enough coal to put CO2 up the stack in the amount of:

29,000,000 - that's Twenty nine MILLION

Nine times worse that the Oil Sands.

Where is Peter Pansbridge ? Anyone seen Dr. Fruit Fly ??

Fred:

Quick shut down Ontario...Oh wait, it already has. :) LOL!

I love the smoking stacks, except for the fact that CO2 is colorless and odorless.

AGW will die a natural death.

These people will do anything to stampede people into the latest apocalyptic claptrap. If I want to read about the Apocalypse the book of Revelation has that covered.

What we are getting now is the tsunami of hysteria, that somehow people are a 'biotic evil'
to planet Earth and only the Goracle can save us.
Cue "A Convenient Outright Lie", lights camera action.

And now for our convenient Enron cap n trade skimming program. Hey the SEC will get 'em, just like Bernie "Made-Off with Billions".

Hailing Harry Markopolos, Hailing Harry Markolpolos you're wanted down at the Congressional oversight committee.

I remember Maurice Strong wanted to bring in licensing to have kids. You couldn't have a kid if you didn't have a license. What a commie scumbag!

And where is Venezuela in the picture? Hiding behind China I'm sure, but just barely.

Did the Prime Minister Not elate to diffences in Co2 emissions this week on US tv or was it with Obama.
Stating that the yes we have the oilsands & the US has the Coal producing More. Thats right Canadian MSM did not show his interviews.

Also with Daltons New Green Machine Annoucements this week there were No mentions at all about Ontario's coal fired Gen.Plants, Was that not a prime objective of his when he ran for Premier to close these plants.
What 8yrs ago? anyone..

The disingenous and relentless preoccupation Canadian AGW believers have with the oil sands is like the Everyready Bunny.

The GreenReds so fixated on this they have failed to realize that Barack Obama's statements about the oilsands, American coal, and China/India does not bode well for realizing their dream of forcing Alberta to dish out cash for pay-to-pollute credits (hello! Jeffrey Simpson).

"Quick shut down Ontario...Oh wait, it already has. :) LOL!"

Not quite yet Hans-Christian, but Dulton is implementing a new Green Economic Future Plan that should do the trick nicely.

From Have to Have Not to Bankrupt status, all brought to you by one Stuck on Stupid Premier & one Liberal government.

Way to go Dulton, going for an economic disaster 3-fer.

Spot on!

Hey...leave chimpy mcjerkoff alone....it takes alot of juice to run those coffee shops down on Queen St. !

ron in kelowna,

I think your source was referring to potentially recoverable reserves, not annual production. US Energy Information Administration says that total US coal production was 1.15 billion tons in 2007, of which Illinois produced 32 million. Seven other states produced more.

http://www.eia.doe.gov/cneaf/coal/page/acr/table1.html

Oh how I wish that all of that CO2 could warm up the climate. Unfortunately it is probably just a pipe dream. Pardon the pun.

I realize that someone is going to say it is a cash grab or a power grab but I still find it amazing that despite all the scientific evidence and the the thousands of scientists that say man made global warming is load of dingo's kidneys, how all these governments just refuse to listen and insist on implementing their so called green plans regardless of what it will do to their people and economy. Stupidity and power is a very dangerous combination, may God help us.

Yeah but America and China didn't kill eleventy zillion ducks so we really are the bad guys. Satanic even.

That is the MOST BRILLIANT political cartoon I've seen in many years!!!

How do the members of the Canadian MSM live with themselves. Every single day the espouse absolute incompetence!

Eric Larsen - good point.

I realize it was just intended as a joke, but - quick calculation (I stand to be corrected)

If the China stack was, say, the width of a hand 5 inches, then to scale;

China stack 5 ins (about how it appears)
US coal 2.1 ins
Oil Sands 0.004 ins (thickness of paper)

Watch for a three part series on The National beginning tonight.

TONIGHT ... ON THE NATIONAL ... CANADA WOULD HAVE TO SHUT DOWN 1200 OIL SANDS (we only have one) IN ORDER TO EQUAL MAURICE STRONG'S CHINA CO2 OUTPUT ... KEITH, WHAT DOES THIS ALL MEAN ? PLEASE PUT IT INTO PERSPECTIVE FOR OUR SHEEP, er VIEWING AUDIENCE. WELL PETER, IT MEANS MAURICE STRONG AND GANG HAVE LOTS OF WOOL. BUT PETER, THE WORLD 'IS' RUNNING OUT OF WATER, SO LETS TAX THAT. YOUR WELCOME.

The question for the National Geopgraphic Magazine to answer is:

Did the large, advanced cities of the Mayan and Aztec empires, empty out and decay because of what happened in the cold north, thousands of miles removed from them at the time, or because did these wonderful large cities run out of energy and food?

Frankly I'm surprized that a such a venerable magazine would stoop to critizing and sensationalizing Alberta's oil sands especially when the so many of the large cities of the USA have to rely on its coal fired power plants.

3.3 million tons of Alberta oil sands co2 versus 1.9 BILLION tons of co2 by USA coal.

Sort of like the kettle calling the frying pan black, eh?

Apparently, coal puts out 40 times the amount of CO2 into the atmosphere than an equivalent amount of oil.

Not sure what National Geographic's motivation is on this, but if there's a conspiracy theory, it's that NG would like to take the pressure off Obama by pointing the finger in other places.

Once the nuclear plants are built to power the OIL (not tar, you CBC retards) sands production, that would make it about 100-1 ratio.

But then NG, would start whinging about nuclear power.

Also consider the other pollution, NOx and SOx. A lot of the smog in the states is caused by coal plants.

Last time I checked, Alberta doesn't have smog. As a matter of fact, I don't think Saskatchewan does either. I'll bet Manitoba doesn't have a smog problem either!

Maybe Ontario is starting to ungreen or starting to see the wisdom of the words "It's the economy stupid".

Effective February 12, 2009 OPG will reduce the CO2 emission adder from $7.50 per tonne to $1.00 per tonne. This change reflects our forecast for significantly reduced demand for coal-fuelled generation and associated CO2 emissions. The reduced demand is primarily due to lower electricity demand associated with weakened economic activity. The forecast is revisited on an ongoing basis and will be revised as required.

I want t6op see greenpeace invade China.

That'll get rid of all those middle-class suburban brats who expect everything to be free.

ron in kelowna - I'm glad there are people like you who think, so I don't have to! :-)

I guess OPG must have paid off their legal debt to Clithro:-))))

Seriously, a license to have kids? What was he gonna do if I just told him to F**K OFF? Forcibly abort them? Confiscate them? Kill them?

F**k that wanker and good riddance. I'd a shot his ass 6 times+ for trying to get between me and my missus and the lil' uns. F**k him, seriously, how come the Chinese mafia haven't iced his @$$ already?

I can hear Hillary now..."We can just agree to disagree about..." What Hillary is thinking: "If I piss them off they'll bomb us!" Har...

Option #2: I can hear Hillary now..."We can just agree to disagree about..." What Hillary is thinking: "If I piss them off they'll quit buying our debt!" Har...

Guys you miss the point it is per capita you have to divide by population, that crazy metric that greens use to justify the Chinese Footprint.

So all we need to do is get 300 million people living in poverty and alakazam 90% reduction, no more co2 emission problem!

Well we do have the US in 10 years, that is 300 Million and the way they are headed....

Yeah well, Gore, Suzuki, Obama and Harper (the four hoarse men of the a'pucker lips) should take a stroll around For Mac tomorrow and point out for us peons where the globe is warming.

Good luck with it (-25 C).

Option #3: I can hear Hillary now..."We can just agree to disagree about..." What Hillary is thinking: "If I can just make a go of this Secretary of State thing, it'll be Clinton in 2012!"

Kathryn:: Eleventy zillion sounds like a LOT of ducks. One would think that at least 500 of those ducks would have been more eco-friendly and would have remained afloat till after the law-suit.

You must have missed the interview with S.Day on Roy Green. Green asked him if he believed in AGW. Day said about his trip to the north "I spoke to the people and something is definitely changing".

So there you have it, Day spoke to "the people". That "settles" it, I suppose.

Does anyone have the numbers for Alberta Coal fired power generation?

SYF,

Please refrain from being a dick.

It's an honest question that deserves and honest answer. Not some bit of stupid grade 5 rhetoric.

I'd like to see it all in perspective. Wouldn't you?

Maybe I want all the facts so that when some greenie from Ontario points finger at my industry (oil/gas) I can promptly give them the real numbers. And you know that they'll point at the coal gen here after I point out the miniscule amount of C02 our oil sands produce.

I would gladly ship the 4% CO2 that I strip from my gas if TranCanada would let me send it to Ontario.

Global Warming, Really?

Does anyone remember Y2K? How much did that one cost?

MS has been hiding in Beijing ever since he was named on an INTERPOL arrest warrant...

Bruce, do you have a link to that (please, oh please!!)? If so, it's a keeper, and will be an excellent rejoinder to the ecomaniacs bent on global governance. That maniac needs to be exposed to the light of day, and quickly, too.

Just to put everything in its proper perspective, volcanoes, swamps, oceans, and rotting vegetation would dwarf even China's smokestack.
