Regarding candles - apparently paraffin is the material of choice or you could go back to bees' wax, a soya base, or rendered animal fat. This could be a good place to use seal blubber - there will be new green jobs created in setting up candle factories.

The more coverage she gets, the better. She ignores every other environmental issue in lieu of the speculative hypothetical of AGW. If she isn't getting paid hugely by the polluters of the world, she should be.
I'm actually a bit pissed that what passes for an environmental movement in this country has been compromised in favour of polluters - and I'm a bloody conservative! I don't like foul air or cancerous drinking water any more than the next guy, and this idiot is giving real polluters a free pass; the comedy show that is May doesn't quite make up for it.

It's always about community with these dimwits rather than substance. And, the best and most scientific quote she could come up with was from, spare me, the ever vacuous Prince Charles!, now, that's hilarious. I think his own mother is frantically trying to outlive him. "100 months" until Armageddon, and, just exactly happens then?
"Then former president George W. Bush took the U.S. out of the Kyoto process"
Other than the inconvenient fact that it is the US Senate that ratifies treaties, oh, and that the Senate almost unanimously (something like 98-1) chose not to under Clinton, she's bang on.
Since we have only hours, let's get down to it. If we slaughter that fine livestock specimen in the picture, we will have done our part. After all, the amount of s**t that comes out of her makes David Suzuki look like, well, a sane person.
There is a lesson to be learned from Ms May's article - never, never, never let her participate in "leaders" debates. She hasn't a clue about the issues, or how to argue them.
That's like having those pupil expanding drops and then going er, being led into the snow covered sunlight field...the tears are streaming down instantly.
Oh Ms.Izzy "if only grade fivers could vote" May, may you sine on like this forever!
She's so 'popular' though...
Talk about a 'gummy bear'. Lizzy has to figure this out. If Carmen Diaz isn't having any affect on trying to get us to commit economic suicide, what makes this sweat-hog with a smile that can scare a Pit Bull, think she can lure in any new warming dummies with mere hours left.
I am quite happy it's down to 'hours'. I have to run out and get me one of those big wide screen TVs so I can watch the end of the world as we know it. I am quite excited about what the new world will be like. I kinda suspect it's going to be a lot like the old one, but with a lot fewer angry warming dummies.
You can only say abracadabra so many times without making the magic happen until the audience gets really bored and heads for the lobby.
I've been in the lobby for some time and now I am getting a new TV.
Prince Charles is a source of scientific authority. Har har.
All those candles and lanterns burning will produce more GHGs than the light bulbs anyway.
During earth hour, I'll be running my dryer, microwave, vacuum, and every other appliance I can think of - make that meter spin so fast you can't see the numbers...
And nowhere is moralization more of a hazard than in our greatest global challenge. The threat of human-induced climate change has become the occasion for a moralistic revival meeting. In many discussions, the cause of climate change is overindulgence (too many S.U.V.’s) and defilement (sullying the atmosphere), and the solution is temperance (conservation) and expiation (buying carbon offset coupons). Yet the experts agree that these numbers don’t add up: even if every last American became conscientious about his or her carbon emissions, the effects on climate change would be trifling, if for no other reason than that two billion Indians and Chinese are unlikely to copy our born-again abstemiousness. Though voluntary conservation may be one wedge in an effective carbon-reduction pie, the other wedges will have to be morally boring, like a carbon tax and new energy technologies, or even taboo, like nuclear power and deliberate manipulation of the ocean and atmosphere. Our habit of moralizing problems, merging them with intuitions of purity and contamination, and resting content when we feel the right feelings, can get in the way of doing the right thing.
and after the ecological apocalypse finally arrived only the strongest and fittest could survive....cockroaches....great white sharks.....and a species of giant beaver that stalked a desolated landscape.....it were 'orrible to behold...
I actually made it past the picture, some of the article and made it to the comments. Made the first two. One is saying 3% CO2 is like injecting 3% HIV. Did me in.
The only things missing in that picture is 9~10 scruffy gutter cats, a shopping cart and a pair of old rubber boots.
Maybe sabretooth Lizzy should be homeless for a year or so. She could take notes on how it is actually getting colder of late.
I have a home, and without looking at any news or scientific reports I am convinced we are in a cooling period. I simply have a memory and I have no agenda.
Can someone out there calculate the carbon produced per lumen-hour by burning candles and compare it to that produced by electric generation and light bulbs?
I would suggest people refrain from commenting on her appearance. That's irrelevant. It's her words that should be the only concern.
Speaking of her words, the Greens might want to consider muzzling this woman.
She quotes Prince Charles as an authority????
She refers to a time more than 12 years ago when we had only as decade to act???? Isn't it too late then? Why bother Liz, put your head between your legs and....
Bush took the US out of Kyoto??? No, that was Clinton/Gore.
We have only hours??? Never, never make a prediction with a near deadline. What are you going to say next year? It's too late, all environmentalist should shut up and go home??? For sure people will be throwing that one in your face for years to come, Liz.
Elizabeth May, the worst friend the environuts every had!
You're right Dirtman. We're all going to a very bad place after we die.
Actually, it's not nearly as blood-curdling as that picture of Helen Thomas Kate's been known to spring on the unprepared.
Call me cynical (or just observant) but it sure appears that the Global Warming agenda is a FRAUD. Considering Elizabeth May's connections and former jobs, I'd say this con attempt was cooked up by the socialists at the U.N. Is Hansen, previously of NASA, linked to the U.N.?
Opening up that link to reveal the poster girl for the Ferengi Dental Plan should be accompanied with a large warning in big, bold, red type : "GRAPHIC AND DISTURBING PICTURES OF ELIZABETH MAY'S DENTAL WORK"
The anti-AGW comments at the Star must be alarming to the editorial staff. I'm surprised how many Canadians can actually think for themselves to a point....but so many of them are poised to vote Liberal. Again.
Why this blog? Until this moment
I have been forced
to listen while media
and politicians alike
have told me
"what Canadians think".
In all that time they
never once asked.
This is just the voice
of an ordinary Canadian
yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."
homepage email Kate (goes to a private
mailserver in Europe)
I can't answer or use every
tip, but all are
appreciated!

Yes candles made of young seal blubber or better yet whale oil lamps! AH, the good old days.

The world is ending used to be the favorite sign of the bearded and mentally deranged bum on a street corner, but that's progress I guess.
Gahhhhhhh!!
Thanks Kate, I was eating my cereal when I clicked that link. Now it's going to be wasted...

you need to post warnings with links like that. Good thing I skipped breakfast this morning or I would have ruined a keyboard.
All I can say is I hope the current economic times are "sustainable growth" enough for her.

Whoa, does Liz ever need a dentist. Even a tooth brush would help.
Holy cr*p! Post a warning next time. The only good thing about the pic, I had to close the tab and didn't read the article. No regrets.
Suppose nothing untowards happens to the Earth in the next 200 months. What then of the credibility of our future sovereign and dizzies like Lizzy?
Rational people under similar situations would remove themselves from the discourse...
The real question is why Kingstonlad reading The Star?
Did she give up brushing her teeth to save the planet? Kate a warning would of been nice.

Sheeesh, she's an idiot. And anyone who listens and believes what this gasbag has to say is also an idiot.
What a horrible picture. Ugly inside and out.
I actually made it past the picture, some of the article and made it to the comments. Made the first two. One is saying 3% CO2 is like injecting 3% HIV. Did me in.
Should have kept reading the comments Speedy, the rest were pretty negative towards May.
"The real question is why Kingstonlad reading The Star?"
So we don't have to. :rimshot:

The comments do appear negative at the Star site. For AGW, the bloom may indeed be off the rose.
I think Ms. May got the title of her book wrong, I should be "Global Warming From Dummies"

I'm with those who think a warning should have been posted for that link.
But it may have been worth it anyway, to get to momar's description: "sweat-hog with a smile that can scare a Pit Bull".
She used to quote George Moonbat all the time. Now she's quoting Chuckie Batears. This means that her dementia is progressing.

BTW: (Which will be soon. Because of Global Warming.)
The only disaster to be found would be in her pants!
The editor? Hell, she should be out to get her photographer too.
Check out the comments after the article: at least 90-95% AGAINST the idiocy of AGW. That's heartwarming, as a start.
The more these idiots rant publicly, the better:
Ted Danson (15 years ago): "The oceans will be dead in 10 years". (Why does the MSM not nail him on this?)
Ted Turner: after AGW, we'll be hordes of cannibals munching one one another
Algore: hurricane Katrina was caused by AGW (utterly a lie)
The more steamy the rhetoric, the better. I love to trot this garbage out when debating eco-loons.

as a kingstonian i must must say it has been colder than a witches tit here even though we have no snow. i wish it was green and 80 f.
old white guy, Vancouver Island has not exactly been balmy the last two winters, either.
We've had snow AGAIN this week! (What the heck?)
