Barack Obama and Justin Trudeau to join forces on climate change
The Manchester Guardian ^ | March 8, 2016 | Suzanne Goldenberg

Barack Obama and Justin Trudeau will commit to work together to fight climate change and protect an Arctic experiencing the mildest winter ever recorded, sources familiar with the initiatives said.

The two leaders were expected to announce a number of common climate measures at a meeting at the White House this week, from a 45% cut in methane emissions from the oil and gas industry to protections for a rapidly warming Arctic.

The state visit on Thursday is seen as an important moment for Trudeau to break with his Conservative predecessor, Stephen Harper, who was accused of muzzling government scientists and backtracking on climate promises.

The visit - four months after Trudeau's election and 11 months before Obama leaves the White House - offered a rare window of opportunity to advance the cause that is important to both leaders, the Canadian prime minister said....

Mohammed is a thin 27-year-old man with sad black eyes. He’s not a criminal who came to Germany to abuse women, nor an electrical engineer waiting to launch his first startup. He’s a normal man, a refugee in Germany.

And with our spineless Congress unless it’s something related to Trump, what could go wrong?

Shouldn’t Canada do everything it can to create global warming? It would be an economic boom never seen before up north.

No, he’d much rather fly around on aviation biofuels priced at 16 bucks a gallon and sourced from cronys.

simple. Shoot a rocket over the Arctic that places confetti in orbit that reflects sunlight. It could cool the Arctic 2 degrees, enough to bring a regional ice age.

At any point in the future that polar melting is a crisis, this is a cheap, easy and quick fix. Unfortunately is not not natural, not vegetarian, not forcing us to change our lifestyle and use less carbon.

Oh well, cant have it all.

It’s just as real as so-called climate change.

First off, how is any of this going to cool the arctic?

We've had a lovely winter, here in North Dakota, and it has saved us a ton on heat, electricity to warm engine blocks, snowblower gasoline, and run time to warm up vehicles.

A 45% reduction on methane emissions from the oil and gas industry"? From what level, when?

The oil and gas industry has already been working hard to reduce methane (AKA: Natural Gas) emissions because it is a marketable commodity, and byproduct of oil production.

So what is the benchmark?

This is the same sort of EnviroNazi EPA crap they pulled on the Coal fired Electrical generation industry, with the express goal of having people shivering in the dark or pushing energy costs to the level where their renewable stuff is the only thing out there (and it will not be enough).

This is the Fourth-Worlding of America, now that the Looting is mostly done. (In the third world, no one is going to gig you for producing the means to keep warm and cook your dinner).

They are the EPA, you know, the guys someone is going to use 'to the fullest extent of the law to enforce the Renewable Fuels (ethanol) Mandate.

Now, who said that back in Iowa?
