  1. Good because it’s damn cold out. I want to wake up in January to hear it’s -9 with the windchill not October.
    If Suzuki et al think it’s so hot why don’t they move to Winnipeg, Churchill or even Alert.

  2. This is where the argument gets changed…..before we were on a straight line to hell…after all CO2 is doing the straight line thing, with seasonal variations, and since CO2 and temp were directly linked then clearly we were on our way. we couldnt change policies and ways of life fast enough.
    Well now the argument is we are contributing, a very different argument. We are contributing and adding to the cycle, the peaks will be way hot and the troughs wont be as cold. Of course nobody can say how much we are contributing, and it sort of removes the urgency thing, sort of. But this seems to be the only way that there is any respectability left in the argument.
    To boot, it may be true, but you know we lost years of rational study running around on false conclusions driven by bad methods and bad data.
    Right answer + Wrong Method = BAD SCIENCE
    you cannot base policy on bad science. So can we all calm down, study the damn thing properly and then come back with our conclusions in a few years, like maybe 5 to 10. in the meantime, do the simple things to try to reduce CO2 emissions if you can.
    And I would love to get off of Middle East Oil so we arent sucked into the crazy politics….so cut our demand and increase our reserves and refining. I am sorry if that cuts some of the wealth out of Alberta due to lower oil prices but I suspect they could live just fine on $40 a barrel oil….Hugo Chavez and Imdeadinadinnerjacket cannot.

  3. Don’t forget, the Neo-Coms are about to overtake the last best hope of the world. Then it all won’t matter anyway, whatever The Messiah wants, he will get, even another skewed $2 trillion study from the UN “proving” AGW.

  4. Ummmm…not to be to picky Cjunk….but shouldn’t that be a watermelon? You know,green on the outside,red on the inside?

  5. Personally, I think it will be interesting to see how the discussion of climate change and global warming evolve over the next 4 years (in particular if Barack Obama is in office).
    For awhile I have suspected that Global Warming was being pushed so heavily because George W. Bush and the Republicans were in control of the government. If the Democrats are in control of all branches of government you will not hear anything about Global Warming unless they produce legislation that can easily be sold to the American public as a “cure” for global warming.

  6. ‘Tend to agree, NoOne, there’ll be silence on the climate change file IF Obama gets the keys to power. It’s only an important media rant when Republicans/Conservatives are in power. It’s just another tool they use to hammer on, they have no answers as we’ve witnessed from Fat Al who won’t debate because he CAN’T, he has no clue. He’s full of hubris and a full fledged hypocrite.

  7. Now we just have to get prominent politicians to start admitting that global warming is a fraud. Yeah, good luck with that, hey?

  8. One alarmist with whom I argued kept saying that the 2008 cooling should not be considered because we are not at the end of the year yet. Using GISS data, the 2007 J-D average is 56.33. For 2008 to meet that, the average anomoly for Oct-Dec would have to be 106. It is now safe to say that 2008 is cooler than 2007. The probability of reaching such extreme record temperatures in light of a strengthening La Nina is remote. It would be the 18% diehard AGW believers that deny 2008 furthered the global cooling. — John M Reynolds

  9. The fact that the facts are against global warming probably doesn’t matter a hoot in Hell. Fighting against global warming is on the agenda of a number of powerful people, not least the next President of the U.S. So we will be saved from ourselves, as they see us, at cost and hardship for ourselves, and to no benefit to any other thing or being.

  10. Here in Eastern Ontario our solid wall of rain is changing to snow. White stuff on the lawn. October 28th.

  11. I’m leading a deligation (Mrs. Eskimo and Nanook) down to Punta Cana next Thursday to study the effects of global warming at the Playa Bavaro on the Dominican Republic’s east coast.
    We will be roughing it pool and beachside at the Gran Bahia Principe should anyone care to drop into any of my lectures. Most lectures will be incoherent babble as I will be consuming copius amounts of cervesas and fruity flavoured alcoholic beverages in order to counteract said AGW nastiness and cursing my imminent sunburn.
    If you care to donate, I promiss to ‘water’ a palm tree in your name. Everyone is invited to the slide show in my family room upon our return. BYOB and chip dip.

  12. “””” …somewhere out there, a dog is howling. “”””
    poor Kyoto, Di-onky left him out in the globalwarming to long

  13. I want someone to drag that Muvva-Phukka Suzuki over here to Ottawa and have him give his honest, scientifically qualified (haha) opinion of this foot of snow blowing down hard on me, right now.
    Suzuki, and his fellow POS, are profiteers of fear. Read what’s happening in the UK at the highest political levels. Go on, right here, at http://www.climate-resistance.org

  14. Eskimo, I will take my vengence for that in February, when you will be stinking cold; and our roles will be reversed!

  15. Mucho white stuff predicted for Montreal on Wednesday.
    Its not izzy when the facts stand in the way of a good story.
    Will Steffi be snowshoeing or some other activity, like he was in the pre-election commercials?
