  1. It’s at such a tipping point that some parts of Alberta got snow yesterday (but then that might be Mother Nature making a political statement about the election). On the other hand here in Saskatchewan forcast for this weekend is for night time temperatures to drop below freezing. I guess I’ll have to put on a sweater to protect myself from global warming.

  2. Wtf is so hard to understand here?
    Even IF there were danger in 2· temp rise…there’s not a damn thing we coild do about it. But ironically a temp increase would benefit us.
    Satan laughing, spreads his wings.

  3. We will never actually reach the elusive “Tipping Point”. It is a too valuable tool in their fear mongering.

  4. At some point this thing will fall on deaf ears like the boy who cried wolf.
    I have lost track of the number of these Chicken Little predictions in the
    last 30 or so years. The trouble with these idiots is that they continue
    to set dates certain with every one of their dire predictions.
    And as each catastrophe fails to materialize, they go on without admitting
    that they were wrong and start formulating a new prediction which in 10
    years time fails to materialize.
    Paul Erlich, like Father Robert Malthus projected out of control population
    increase that would lead to starvation effecting half of humanity. Their
    simplistic mathematical models failed to take into account many variables,
    much like the AGW proponents. The deadline for Erlich’s population
    explosion, resource scarcity and mass die off came and went.
    These morons will continue to predict the end of the world every few years
    and the planet will outlast humanity by billions of years, but global
    warming will not be responsible for the outcome. The end will indeed be
    global warming, based not on 350 PPM of CO2 but a change in the suns life
    cycle. That is if something else does not kill us off first!

  5. I used to wonder at how the Jehova’s Witnesses could continue to attract new customers when the Day of Judgement kept getting postponed. The world was supposed to end in 1947, and the poor sods have continued to suffer disappointments every decade or so since then.
    It looks like the predisposition to indoctrination is more widespread than I thought.

  6. Yes Gus, the key to understanding the tipping point is that it’s always in the future, which is further muddied with “as little as” eight years away qualifications. That leaves lots of watermelon weasel wiggle room.
    The actual tipping point is where the public refuses to buy into the watermelon scam of carbon taxes and justice, that’s the true final opportunity in 2015 – to get more money/taxes from the public.
    That tipping point has been reached. The new Premier of Alberta will find that out if she goes watermelon on her province. Then again she has a majority.

  7. All right who’s the dip-wad who claimed Guam was going to sink into the ocean becuase of this Global Warming poppycock?

  8. Woolf wolf, no really wolf.
    At some point one goes out, rounds up a wolf and feeds the screaming idiot to it.
    Everybody gets what is coming to them eventually.
    As the cost of this little experiment in mass hysteria come home to be paid, the payees will get cranky.
    The agitators and enablers of the generational theft made possible by promoting the CAGW meme, (as in people are evil and are killing the planet,) are counting on the short memories of the poor taxpayer.
    The poorer you are made, the longer and more vindictive your memory.

  9. Global warming is the new over-population scare (not that it has gone away, either). It’s the same vein of falling sky alarmism that even laymen should make a point to ignore.

  10. I see that reading comprehension isn’t a conservative trait either.
    The report never claimed that the temperature would rise to 2C by 2015. Just that we had to cut CO2 emissions by 2015 in order to limit the expected temperature rise to 2C. Here, have a look:
    “The report said global emissions must peak by 2015 for the world to have any chance of limiting the expected temperature rise to 2C, which would still leave billions of people short of water by 2050.”

  11. Chief sourses of Hot Air Barack Obama,Al Gore,Greenpeace,Hollywood,David Suzuki,Rooert Kennedy Jr and the various enviromntalists and other who took part in that stupid PEOPLES CLIMATE MARCH last year in New York

    Well John get ready to do something about billions of people short of water because everybody will tell you now that there isn’t a chance in hell that carbon emissions will be at a maximum or peak in year 2015, and that is not even a goal for the Alarmists.
    So for you and all your friends the end is in sight so I suggest you follow the lemmings over the end of the cliff so that hundreds of billions of dollars are not wasted now for your foolishness and tilting at the windmills of Global Warming in your imagination.

  13. Perhaps John is going to next argue Canada needs to show “leadership” on the CAGW front, given our CO2 contribution is insignificant. OK fine, no more coal exports, which were C$4.386B in 2013, representing the vast majority of our energy exports. Let’s start with Japan, at C$1.5B, then China at C$1.3B, then South Korea at C$1B. Is that what is being advocated? If so, sorry haven’t heard that. No, we’re supposed to shut down our economy, not theirs.

    Maybe when the CAGW adherents start to make sensible arguments, people will listen.
    I don’t hear much talk about stopping coal exports from environmentalists, though they go after our oil sands with a vengeance, currently an infinitesimal part of our energy exports, though slated to grow. They are the climate villain, at 7% of Canada’s 2% of human worldwide emissions, which are 3% of total emissions. Do the math – .07*.02*.03=.0042% or .42ppm added to the current 400ppm+ of current atmospheric CO2 concentrations – the point (doubling) where the planet is supposed to get a permanent fever! How many times would oil sands activity have to multiply before it was a significant contributor even in human emissions terms?
    It should be obvious facts don’t matter because IMHO it isn’t actually about the environment. It’s political science not climate science, with a sprinkling of science fiction. That should be painfully apparent to anyone who spends more than a few seconds thinking about the issue.
    As many have said before, it there is any danger of reaching a “tipping point” where the earth is warmed irrevocably by human activity, and this will be catastrophic or an existential threat, then we’re all dead anyway, given fossil fuel modernization, particularly China. It’s apparently taboo to talk about actual pollution, because capitalism wouldn’t be the culprit anymore.
    We need to get off fossil fuels because of their pollution threat, not because of some modeling induced warming projections, with CO2 on climate steroids. We need to do it here, not send money to China; for God’s sake we’re borrowing from them, why should we bankroll their energy research? Build it here and sell it to them and the rest of the world.

  14. Shamrock. Your showing the typical ignorance ofa typical enviromental activists I suggest you stop reading all of the poppycock from the greens

  15. I suggest you actually read my post, or are you trying to be witty? Anyway, fail on both counts. I’m a global warming denier, not a pollution denier. If you are both, then you are the one spouting poppycock and giving watermelons everywhere ammunition to villainize common sense. Shame on you.
