    Show me science, from a journal, that has stood upto peer review, and then we will talk.

    So far, all the evidence is one way... GLOBAL WARMING.

    Soooo.. Hot Air, and a poor poor, lost sole.... or bought off one.

    I was looking at the temperature history of Calgary posted by hakkola in another thread and noticed some data that would support Global Warming (but obviously no link to a human cause)

    Almost all the monthly Extreme Low temperature records are set in the 1800's, and some in the 1910's. However, the monthly Extreme High temperature records contain many recent records.

    This suggests to me that temperature readings are trending upwards.

    I guess you have to load the page up to see what I mean. Its broken down by month. Our summer temps will never touch the record lows that are set.

    Just an observation though.

    Especially in BC. With their carbon tax legislation, they'll probably setup an account with mother nature and start charging her tax.

    Cyclical climate shifts are proven. There is no proof that "global warming" is caused by anthroprogenic means.

    There could be a series of Volcanoes in the world and your fag geographic "expert" Al Gore with his nice little hollywood renditions of a global flooding will preach, people need to cut back polluting and gov't will in turn up the tax rates on pollution, yet again. Cash grab. The next cash grab will be lack of "clean" water and water purification taxes.

    The question should be... When will they start taxing cattle ranchers?

    She's a politician. That should answer your question.

    The oil companies actually love the carbon tax.

    They get to pay themselves for "inventing" technologies like pumping carbon dioxide back into the wells to pressurize them.

    I mean really - this is the way its been done since the very beginning. The wells in the middle east are all pressurized by pumping saltwater into them. Most oil companies in Canada are not allowed to pressurize the wells with water (because its considered a waste of useable freshwater, which is absolutely true) So they've pressurized it with normal air up until recently.

    They used to have to pay to pump atmosphere into the ground, now they can get the environmentalists to foot the bill willingly.

    Hmm I'll have to look into if this is feasible for my company. I know there was talks about a small damn to generate power rather than our own fuel for facility power.

    from http://www.grist.org/article/volcano...2-than-humans/

    Volcanoes emit more CO2 than humans’—Not even close ...

    Objection: One decent-sized volcanic eruption puts more CO2 in the atmosphere than a decade of human emissions. It's ridiculous to think reducing human CO2 emissions will have any effect.

    Answer: Not only is this false, it couldn't possibly be true given the CO2 record from any of the dozens of sampling stations around the globe. If it were true that individual volcanic eruptions dominated human emissions and were causing the rise in CO2 concentrations, then these CO2 records would be full of spikes -- one for each eruption. Instead, such records show a smooth and regular trend.

    The fact of the matter is, the sum total of all CO2 out-gassed by active volcanoes amounts to about 1/150th of anthropogenic emissions.

    Yknow, somehow I doubt that it actually costs $15B.

    I mean really - for that type of money we can actually build decent refining capacity in Canada.

    But if the environmentalists and general populace is happier sleeping at night with a carbon capture system. I really don't see the harm in being bilked out that much money. Massive waste of money for no gain?

    So goes the silicone breast argument. Do you really care if they are real or not as long as you are happy with them?

    Carbon credit is the new snake oil.

    A carbon tax will still reduce the demand for oil, so they don't love it.

    Uhhh huh. Like a 400% tax on tobacco has really stopped people from smoking... I don't see anyone having any problems selling cigarettes.

    While it didn't work for Tabacco, it seemed to work (at least for gasoline). When prices hit $1.40, transit use went up and sales of vehicles that had better mileage went up.
