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."

…well if this doesn’t cause some sort of polar speed wobble catastrophic earth topple, I don’t know what will…*skreeskreeskree*
The uninformed will still continue to be UNINFORMED. Even if they need more misleading information to stay UNINFORMED.
Second Antarctic rescue?
Aurora Australis on standby to free Chinese icebreaker

Now the Chinese icebreaker Xue Long is concerned about ‘their inability to move through heavy ice in the area’
Its not nice to screw around with Mother Nature !
This laughing stock just keeps on piling up..
Among whom is Chris Turney [sp?], so-called professor, so-called environmentalist, so-called leader, who was
so incompetent that he never checked available data on the extent of sea ice before departure and during the
trip to Antarctica. Oh yes, the yellow-bellied sapsucker left 22 men behind him.
“Spirit of Mawson” be d*mned.
In regard to the recent little local difficulties of the “Warmist” crowd, several of the thread headlines here over the past couple of days have talked about “Irony’s Warm Embrace” and the “Icy Grip of Irony”. Accordingly, I’m guessing that the headline on this particular thread is intended as irony, and I regard that as pure satirical genius, well into Dickens territory, really.
Wikipedia, for convenience, describes Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven” this way:
“It tells of a talking raven’s mysterious visit to a distraught lover, tracing the man’s slow fall into madness.”
And when the talking raven lands on the head of Pallas Athena, a University of New South Wales “climatologist” who “got caught in his [own] experiment” — scratch that last bit, actually; Pallas Athena was the Greek goddess of wisdom, apparently — what else could one possibly conclude?
On the other hand, I’m not just sure if penguins can fly, although pigs might just have that capability, as, apparently, do Chinese helicopters…
We really need Kate to post Corb Lund’s “Truck got stuck” video now, I think…
It was inevitable
“Antarctic resident Chris Turney reports that it’s been “warm all day” in his ice-barricaded, penguin-surrounded southern sea dwelling. Here’s Chris looking tanned and toasty:”

The sea is freezing! The sea is freeeezing!
We are all going to die if the UN doesn’t do something!
But, but, but the computer models say the polar caps are melting!

Its not good to mess with Mother Nature when she is going through Climate Change..
I’m buying more shares in Laughing Stock.
The particularly yummy aspect of the Ice Boat Saga is that these enviro-mentalists deliberately went to a place where there historically had been low ice, at a time when the ice should have been lowest, i.e. summer.

You should enter this post into the Annual Mixed Metaphor competition, Dave 🙂
Just when humans think they’re so smart, well that Mother Nature comes along and shows anyone who’s watching or listening just how arrogantly stupid they are.
What about the arctic?

That headline and the sat map.

And other merchandise.
Please set that up. I’ll wait.
But but but don’t you see that patch of open water right next to the land? Its the shape of Africa which means that all ‘deniers’ are racists!
Encourage you to watch Peter of Perths’ “inevitable” link…it is pure GOLD.
The red areas are interesting. I wonder what is going on there? It was minus 25 here last night on the north shore of Lake Ontario. That is the coldest I ever recall it being here. Usually minus 10 is cold here.
Here in Grande Prairie we have about 4.5′ of snow on the ground. It is usually bitterly cold here from December until middle of March but the amount of snow on the ground this early is ridiculous.
When I was a young teenager growing up in NFLD we had Honda Big Red “trikes’ (1985) that we would use to go to school and to the hockey rink. We could drive anywhere we wanted as the snow drifts would cover all the fencing and after a South East gale would freeze a sturdy crust, or bottom as the old folks would say, over the snow. Over the past 20 years tho there has been very little snowfall amounts and green Christmases were more the norm than an exception. All my “educated” friends would be quick to remind me this as proof of Global warming.
Until this year that is. The snow has returned with a vengeance and as my dad quipped on Christmas morning, “This is the most snow we’ve seen in 30 years, it’s up over the patio (6.5′) in the front and the Christmas lights look beautiful at night counter-sunk in the snow. You were right when you predicted back in July when you were home about the solar minimums bringing back the type of weather we had when you grew up around here.”
My family were fisher folk and evolution made us into human weather vanes, imho. My dad would tap the glass every night on the Barometer and tell us what clothing we should put out to wear for the next day. His accuracy dwarfed that of the well renowned former CBC meteorologist Carl Wells. As my dad was fond of saying as he watched the CBC 6 o’clock news out of St. John’s “Carl Wells and idiot are words that are interchangeable.”
My dad is 70, still working at his own business, 45 years now, and still sharp as a tack while being surrounded by Liberal sheep. Of course this is just an anecdotal “If you don’t believe in Global Warming look out your window” reference.
Pure gold, Peter. Loved it.
Panic now, in just 8 years, at current rate of expansion, the southern sea lanes will be frozen year round.
Millions of climat refugees will be fleeing toward the equator,
Doom, doom, doom, repent of your evil ways.. blah blah.
Oh never mind these were all written, often by these same global warmist bedwetters, in the 1970s.
Chicken little is alive and well, and has a PHD
Yep, it’s startin’ to sound like it was scripted by Stephen Leacock…..
Has the soldering been checked on the canned goods? 🙂
Hilarious — my sister just commented to me that the whole thing reminds her of “The Sinking of the Mariposa Belle”.
Two great minds think alike……
