By any means necessary [How did environmentalism become this totalitarian?]

The average CO2 content of our atmosphere is one third of one percent.

I think you are off by a factor of 10 times too high. 350ppm / 1,000,000 = 0.035%, one third of one tenth of one percent.

.03 is one third of one percent

[Squawk 8888]

what I haven’t quite figured out yet, is who is the real man behind the curtain.

Al Gore, Maurice Strong, Paul Desmarais and Jean Chrétien all stand to make a fortune off the global warming scare. They have substantial holdings in firms that engage in "carbon credit" trading.

Leftists have been trying to destroy their respective home countries for decades. You would think hey would be in *favor* of global warming(?)

Here in Canada, global warming is a good thing because it will improve crop yields and increase the amount of arable land. It stands to reason, then, that the Canadian left would hate it.

[The Great RJ]

Global warming is nothing less than a religious cult, that sees anyone who disagrees with their dogma as a heretic who should be persecuted and forced to submit to orthodoxy. Suzuki is just continuing the traditions of Torquemada, the head of the Spanish Inquisition.

1 / 3 ~= 0.3 not 0.03. You're off by 10.

Thanks for that Info...interesting

You souldn’t happen to have a link would you?

And didn’t Rothschild write a book on the subject...and fund more than several organizations?

There is a “tipping point” for real estate to dramatically jump in value and that is 32 degrees Fahrenheit. For every degree the global climate goes up the tipping point moves about 70 miles north. If GW really happens a real estate speculator could get very wealthy specializing in buying tipping point land.

How?

By globalist design—a deliberate part of their plans for decades.

[Squawk 8888]

Just a couple of degrees would turn the Lake Erie shore into a gold mine, not to mention the farmland in southwestern Ontario.

>>Thanks for the perspective. You’re right, it’s not new. What is new is that, for some reason, it’s starting to gain traction with many many in the West.<<

The hard part for me is stay balanced in the face of extremism.

Environmental fanatics trying to undercut civilization - I want to say “screw them and the environment.”

But that’s not right either.

I try to use an area where I’m well grounded as a guide.

There are black leaders who want special rights for being black. There are feminist leaders who want special rights for being female. I know not to over-react - they get equal rights, no more, no less.

I just have to do that with the environment. We need clean air and water just as if the fanatics weren’t insisting on something crazy. We should what is sensible and affordable with the environment, no more, no less.

[Zionist Conspirator]

I think a powerful counter argument to extreme environmentalism lays hidden within this very article. It can be found in the words of David Suzuki himself.

“We are the environment. There is no distinction,”

If this is accepted as fact, then man made global warming is no more unnatural than increased sunspots or an El Niño condition. All the rest is just an engineering problem, as another Freeper once posted.

Post of the day!!!

If man is "part of nature," everything we do is "natural!" But don't expect the Lefties to be consistent. After all, in the name of "equality" and "we are all the same" they have been creating a hierarchical system for decades in which the groups representing the "antithesis" (the "counterrevolutionaries" or "oppressors") are treated very very very differently than the "oppressed, progressive" groups representing the "thesis" (the revolution).

Beam me to Planet Gore !

Thanks for the ping.

Canada stands to benefit greatly from any warming, turning frozen land into prime real estate. What’s really going on is they are using the issue as an excuse to attack Canada’s eternal object of envy: the USA.

The Canadian Left is very envious of the US, and they hate themselves for it.

[Catholic Canadian]

As an Addendum, the Canadian Right admire the United States and would like to steer our country more towards being like the United States, but at the same time not operating out of envy. The left want the United States destroyed.
