I like banishment of the snows idea and want to participate.
We should burn much more fossil fuels we are burning today, just to arrive and CO2 and plant productivity levels of Mesozoic.
These damn plants have been committing suicide (and dragging us along) by depositing carbon into the ground and ocean bed for hundreds of millions of years, and here we are today - with Antarctic and Greenland covered with thick crust of ice.
Gee, if every time someone reads the blog, a polar bear dies and they actually care about polar bears, shouldn't they remove or prevent people from reading the blog?
I think the very best joke on "Earth Hour" when all the greentards are turning their lights out would be to rent a half-dozen of those huge spotlights they used in WWII to spot german bombers and turn 'em all on at once for the hour and point them at the green leader's houses... Heh.
I shoveled the snow under our cloths line pole yesterday. The snow finally melted.
Last year the city was digging in the street in front of our house and the back hoe hit a 6" gas pipeline. Flames shot 40' into the air for 2 hours. 5 houses were evacuated from both sides of the road Eh...
Don't forget to endlessly rain down ridicule on those who update their facebook from their blackberries and iphones while their house lights and computers are off.
Last year I celebrated by turning on all exterior lights including a coupla big ones installed for the occasion.
It was disappointing....I expect to be a pool of light in a sea of darkness but I could not detect any difference in lighting in my vicinity.
The year before, I had a visit from the cops....responding to a complaint.....they got greeted appropriately.....a demand as to what 'Legal' offence I was comitting. Then my declaration that offending idiots is not against the law but police harrassment is.....they left with their little tails between the legs.
I bet they could hear me back at the cop shop....
I plant several hundred trees every year so I guess that, since I don't own a blog, Kate can use them to offset her blog.
There I hope that can shut the green nazis up for a while!
Casey, you could cause polar bear extinction all by yourself!
U2's Bono, introducing a song, slowly clapping his hands, tells an audience that, "Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies!" A voice in the audience cries out, "Then stop fookin' clapping, you evil bastard!" Priceless!
Carbon offsets = laziness. Where is the work ethic of "green" movement?
Oh right...
How about for Earth Hour, people just live their lives as usual? It is, after all, just another day.
Earth Hour, more religion again, where the followers turn off their lights while sipping wine from California and sushi from faraway oceans, sitting in the hot tub, and then the next morning get up and drive the SUV with no passengers, off to work picking up a star bucks on the way, then later in the day off to the ski hill for the weekend and steak on the grill at the condo.
But Earth Hour makes them feel good, and that's really what it is all about.
I'm so sorry... but I just couldn't wait for Earth Hour...some long overdue renovations had me ripping up vintage shag 1970's shag carpet (complete with rubber back)...and I set it on fire already. It was quite the black smoke that rolled off of it...spectacular even...the oil from the crush potato chips ground into it for 30 years perhaps?...
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!

Holy hell, woman. When you
send someone traffic,
you send someone TRAFFIC.

I can't wait to see China's reaction to the Greens upcoming campaign against THEM!

Green blogs plant "offsetting" trees - meanwhile, the old media cuts them down by the millions !!
But that's ok because the old media has been duped by the alarmists. Being duped is the ultimate offset as far as the Greenies are concerned.
Ok also, for the celebrities to have personal jets. And Al Gore's mansion. And Suzuki's house(s!!).

'Every Time You Read This Blog A Polar Bear Dies'
I hope SDA will stay on solid ground.
That's pure... er, oh sorry, is it comedy?
So confusing.
What happens if I keep clicking on "refresh?"

How about for Earth Hour, people just live their lives as usual? It is, after all, just another day.
I'm very pleased to report that during last year's Earth Day, not one house turned all their lights off,people carried on as normal.
I suggested turning off the TV, to the kids and their reply was in the negative, something about south park or something.
During last year's Earth Day, not one household on my street here in Kelowna had all their lights off.
I eagerly anticipate another success this Saturday.
This year I'm celebrating with a stack of old car tires soaked in diesel fuel.
15,000 hits a month equals 8 pounds of CO2?
This place must be calculating weight in the tonnes by now then!
Well done Kate!
Once again I will not mark this occasion with any special behaviour,except if I am driving ,I will then turn my lights off.
If I uproot a tree will my hit counter run backwards?
How the hell does a blog emit carbon anyway? Mine quit smoking months ago.

It dissolves.
