As a guest blogger I hope I don’t overstep my bounds with the following post … as it is deeply disturbing.
If you are at all inclined to nightmares, or if you suffer from depression, paranoia, or even if you find Citoyen Dion to be disturbing in a sort of psychologically twisted way … DO NOT … I repeat … DO NOT … click the provided link.
If you’ve had a good day so far, I’ll apologize right now for ruining it … as what you are about to read may plunge you into weeks of depression or even psychosis.

I suggest humbly, as a form of therapy, that you include your own “horrors” in the comments.

Say Goodbye to swimming in Canada. The warming temperatures will cause the rivers of North America to warm, into which Piranhas will migrate from the amazon basin. The day is coming, when a dip in Lake Winnipeg may be your last.
Learn to live with the dinosaurs or succumb to a death from Islamic terrorism!
Make a choice now, or forever cower under your bed.
Nothing can go wrong, go wrong, go wrong, go wrong….
Kate,
As long as hop and barley production isn’t reduced by the imminent BusHarper! induced global climate holocaust my weekend should be just fine.
Had me going a bit. I thought it was a link to credible analysis forcasting a Dion minority propped up by Taliban Jack.
Now that would be horrifying!
Hey Paul the piranhas will have to fight off the mosquitos first
How about a “Say Hello” website.
Say Hello to Saskatchewan wines.
Say Hello to vacation properties next to the ski slopes on Ellesmere Island.
EEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!
The sky is falling…the sky is falling!!!
Personally, I blame Al Gore…
Question: Has anybody, anybody noticed an actual catastrophic change in the last 20 years or so ?? Any change at all ??
Last winter was the coldest, snowiest here in a long time. Does that mean AGW ??
Coldest summer here in a while also. Warming ??
Any hurricanes hit the US mainline this year yet ? As gore predicted. Last year a bust also for him.
Great snow conditions here for skiing last winter. Some of it has not melted yet — was added to last night. AGW ?
But nothing so far in the catastrophic warming cataGOREry.
Holy crapola thats a downer. I’m going to drive my big stinky diesel crew cab uptown and grab a couple of thick slabs of methane-farting bovine, and since I got a new bbq for fathers day and its runs on NG I’m firing that sucker up before I leave to make sure she’s nice & hot to sear the dead cow on.
Oh the humanity…
Hmmm … never thought of it Rick; I wonder which Saskatchewan Wine will win the first award. Sask Ice Wine … for your dessert delight.
Or, how about Olives … we’ll overtake Iraq as the world’s provider.
As you all know, basic chemistry, as things warm up they expand (well not ice but’s funny that way). Global Warming will EXPAND THE EARTH!!! Meaning that meteors will be able to hit it easier since it’s a larger target!
The sky is indeed falling!
Thank you for shareing that load of bilge. The planet has been far warmer, and actually had higher concentrations of CO2 and O2 in the past,heck, Antartica once had tropical forests. Animals and plants migrate, some slower some faster, some die out and new ones come to the fore, but we all can move to the comfort zones over time. Break open that Chateau Dumfries 2060 dear, time to celebrate the highland winefest, and bring some of those Kiruna wheat crackers and Greenland cheese, will you?
It must really suck to be a person that actually believes all that crap. Of course there are those who don’t really believe it but go along with it because it fits their personal ideology so well or they are making money off the scam. But to be someone who actually thinks the end of the world is coming would suck. I image a person completely devoid of any critical thinking skills, crying themselves to sleep each night because they really like wine and lobster.
If you are one of these poor, tormented people please share your experience with us.
…Global Warming eh? Guess they haven’t been to Calgary lately, calling for flurries. This is September right?
Wow. Reading this litany of impending disaster is like watching an Irwin Allen movie marathon, only instead of Charlton Heston’s swagger you get Michael Moore’s beer gut. I’m not sure what a poor soon-to-be-exterminated average citizen is expected to do, but maybe I can contribute to the countdown by having one of those climate monitoring station thingies installed at my house. I’ve got a great place for it too, right where the driveway meets the house beside the air conditioner.
Say goodbye to Lattes, as the warming planet reduces the cloud forest and increases temperatures making coffee growing difficult.
I actually thought it was satire at first..
Didn’t think anyone could take that tripe seriously, till I had a better look at the site.
Well kiss my arse goodbye, you too moonbats.
Oh, by the way. Alberta winters now start in October and end in May. Cold, dreary, windy weather from May thru June and August thru October. We had 5 weeks of real summer this year and 6 weeks last year. Flurries expected tonight.
“The day is coming, when a dip in Lake Winnipeg may be your last.”
If all that stuff on the site is true, the day is coming when your last Lake Winnipeg dip of the year might actually be later than September 15.
Global warming = Heat = Liquid Tar Sands = Cheap extraction costs = Cheap gas.
We win!
We are having milder winters and longer summers in Northern Ontario.It’s ok…we are enjoying it! It’s changing…which has been the ‘constant’ over many hundreds of years.
Gardening is great, and the apple trees have been very productive, and we are enjoying swimming in September.
It takes less to heat the house. Now how does that work in the ‘man-made’ arguement?
BTW…if the earth looks like it is wearing out..it is!
And it isn’t caused by man.
Psalm 102:6
Everything seems ok to me.Whats the problem?
Rival factions of rabid marauding raccoon packs, with little checkered scarves, at war for the few surviving polar bears.
Frigidaire stock goes wild on sales to Nunavut.
No wonder those enviro-freaks look so sick!I would be too if I believed all that crap.
Well kiss my arse goodbye, you too moonbats.

I am getting really tired of the kids Halloweening in snowsuits, slipping on icy sidewalks, oh wait, I did that as a kid over 30 years ago too.
Still fall is too short, winter too long. Global warming, no. Climate change, yes. Wonder if Suzuki is selling his ocean front property yet?
By the way, if the solar wind guys are right, we are in for a very deep cold spell … about 4 decades long and much deeper than the scare in the 70’s.
I hope … I really hope the global warming guys are right; at least in predicting more warming … the thought of short summers, lots more snow in winter, and only two or three plus 30 C (85F) days in summer is really depressing.
Climate on the prairies consists of nine months of winter and three months of tough sledding.
It must be dreadful believing all that catastrophic nonsense shown on that website. Must be hard to resist eating rat poison just to escape the doom and gloom.

Paul, we don’t have to wait for global warming for a dip in Lake Winnipeg to be a threat to human health.
Dang, I suddenly feel the urge to go drive around at great speed in my 12mpg pickup.
Say goodbye to assholes that make lists like that!
oh no.
The last time I looked we still had two seasons in Canada: winter and bugs. Was like that when I was a kid and sixty years later it’s still like that. Being in an El Niño cycle I expect these wild weather swings as normal.
If there is global warming I fear that when I get old there may not be any Depends for us. With the spruce worm beetle problem in the maritimes and the forestry problem in BC with their beetles and the loony left banning everything (unless you’re a Muslim) I will be directly effected. I’ll have to wear unbleached, hand washed cotton diapers which will be changed daily sometime between the unionised workers’ two 30 minute, mental health breaks per shift and their paid one hour lunches (again, unless you’re Muslim because you have to be clean to pray).
I can’t stand it anymore! Day after day of sun and mid 20 temperatures with almost no rain. I’m exhausted from playing golf all the time and almost broke. You guys out west think you have it tough with your nice cool weather while our endless summer just drags on and on.
Say hello to bulgarian Brothel Shortages
Brothels of Bugaria have lost workers to the ski resorts.
News headline’s will lead with “Ski Resorts report increase in Business even if you don’t ski, Overwhelmed staff want a union”
Interesting regurgitation of every AGW horror story thrown at us in the past several years.
I decided to check one of the claims: 52 cubic miles of Greenland’s ice melting every year. They then mention the scary possibility that if all of its 2.5 million cubic kilometers (why the change in units?) were to melt, we’d have seas 23 feet higher. According to their 52 miles/year rate, and assuming that the units are correct as they stated (also assuming my conversion between m3 and km3 is right), it would take 11,737 years for all of Greenland’s ice to melt. I can certainly see the urgency in that time frame. (/sarc)
Bluetech and David: Our golf course is still closing on the 15th of October like clockwork. We are just wishing we could still be swimming in September. My hubby and I are going golfing today despite a temperature of +2 this morning and expecting to maybe reach a high of +10 this afternoon!I have also noticed that we are getting alot less daylight than we did in July. Wonder what is causing that.

Okay,
I will say good-bye to various wines that I don’t drink.
I will say good-bye to various seafoods that I don’t eat.
I will say good-bye to expensive tropical snorkeling vacation that I cannot afford (nor can most).
I will also say good-bye to most of those other things that I have little or no interest in such as:
Baseball
Christmas trees
Skiing
Walruses
Birds
Snails
Yadda yadda yadda
And say a hearty hello to warmer weather in my northern country.
As with all things when something old goes out, something new takes it’s place. That’s what makes life interesting.
Bring it on says I!

From the originating blog … and that is really depressing. Here is a snip-it.
“Who is a progressive?
Founded on the ideals of the progressive movement at the turn of the century, today’s progressive movement believes that an open and effective government can improve the lives of everyday Americans by playing an active role in solving social and economic problems.”
Now check out this graphic to see how backward these folks are. They have it completely Upside down
Some baseball players have switched to maple bats, so the game will go on.
All those fruits, veggies, and nuts that won’t be grown in California, could be moved north to Oregon, Washington, or British Columbia.
And there will always be tropical island vacations – they just might be in the Orkneys.
From ron in k:
Question: Has anybody, anybody noticed an actual catastrophic change in the last 20 years or so ?? Any change at all ??
Last winter was the coldest, snowiest here in a long time. Does that mean AGW ??
Catastrophic? No. Changes? Yes.
Here in my neck of the woods (Algonquin Park) I have noticed some changes in 25 years living here.
Our growing season is a good 2 weeks earlier in spring and 3 weeks longer in fall.
The ice on the lake goes away 2-3 weeks sooner.
I have seen species of birds in the last few summers that never came up here before.
Summers are much drier. This summer we had not a drop of rain for 5 weeks. In 2005 we had 7 weeks with no rain. Thank the Lord for the lake or else I would have lost my crops.
Winters are much milder. For me that’s good, I save 5-6 face cords of firewood a year, even after adding 400 square feet to my home.
As for last winter, maybe for you it was like that. Here we had virtually no winter at all. The snowmobile season was 3 weeks. We always could count on a White Christmas here; not anymore.
With that said, one station is not the world, and for us these changes have been more good than bad, overall.
For your information there is a winery and vineyard in Saskatchewan which opened in June 2007.
It is called the Cypress Hills Vineyard and Winery. Their website is http://www.cypresshillswinery.com
I find it ironic … in a sort of nice way, that the Cypress Hills were missed by the Ice Fields during the last Ice Age.
This vineyard is about five miles from where I was born and raised. Looks nice!
Last time I heard, they still did not have a pine beetle problem in the beautiful Cypress Hills. Why? I happen to know that the residents of the hills ‘treated ‘ the trees – the pine beetle IS NOT a ‘warming’ problem; it is a ‘neglect’ problem. If the Dippers in B.C. had treated the problem before the bugs had established themselves there would be no problem.
Say goodbye to that lame duck GW problem.
eliza…so we notice changse in the weather.It is happenning. It has been happenning for many generations and we change with it.
Is it ‘man-made’?
No proof.
sooo, what’s your point? I can’t see polar bears eating each other, they taste funny
So with global warming (ha ha) maybe the world’s wine industry will come to centre on the Peace River district – tant pis, in French – what the Hell’s your problem with that, in plain Canadian.
I’m surprised there is no reference to the secondary explosions indicating a controlled demolition of the sky.
This would obviously be a huge problem for leftists:
Say Hello to Bulgarian Hooker Shortages
“Brothel owners in Bulgaria are blaming global warming for staff shortages. They claim their best girls are working in ski resorts because a lack of snow has forced tourists to seek other pleasures.”
Without a hint of sarcasm…
