You can tell just how ignorant you are by the comments you make about Elizabeth May and the Green Party. Only a rude ignorant person would show such little respect for the leader of a national party. You may disagree with what she does but you should always show respect for the position. If you don't know the 6 key values of the GPC how can you justify your continued attacks?

[CamWig]

Oh sword, Elizabeth May sucessfully ran the Sierra Club of Canada for many years prior to becoming the leader of the Green Party of Canada. I'd say she is doing a very good job as the GPC leader, so I don't really understand what you're basing your statement on.

I do however agree with you on one point; there are lots of uninformed opinions being thrown about on youtube by those who are better at speaking than they are at listening.

I'm surprised by all of the spammers add haters here. I've noticed them barking on other similar videos. The Greens must be doing something right to be getting all of this attention from closedminded partisan youtubers!

You said it.

Here's a quote for you:

There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance. That principle is contempt prior to investigation.

-- Herbert Spencer

Think about that. I've debated & investigated this subject a length. You've succumbed to confirmation bias, seeking out "supporting evidence" of your opinion.

[CamWig]

Go Elizabeth Go!

There are a number of useful informative sites about climate change out there.

The Denial Machine investigates the roots of the campaign to negate the science and the threat of global warming. It tracks the activities of a group of scientists, some of whom previously consulted for Big Tobacco, and who are now receiving donations from major coal and oil companies.

how much CO2 is in the air???

listen moron, there's a difference between the CO2 output from cellular respiration and the CO2 that is emitted by industry polluters and automobiles. you can't lump greenhouse gas aggregation in the various strata as being 'air'. furthermore, the environment is NOT the only thing on her mind. she has discussed her vision for broadening Canada's economy by investing in new technologies, and current ones that are effective. when will you fucking conservatives learn!

[derkaderka58]

I wish the election was between Elizabeth May and Jack Layton. Dion and Harper are both unfit to be leaders. Wake up Canada, we need to change. Harper will continue to invest money into oil, and continue to make us the most polluting country ever. Dion will crash this country into the ground, put in debt like our neighbours to the south, and tax us so high we'll want to shoot our neighbours for bread. Canada needs something more than just continuous problems.

@Gardenstatehomecomin Did you also know that instead of worrying about CO2, we should be stopping polution of our water by cities dumping raw sewage directly into them i.e. the city of Victoria has a large pipe that goes 12 miles off shore into the pacific ocean and dumps all their raw sewage there.

This is what we should be fighting against not CO2, we could live very nicely with much higher levels and the plants and crops would grow very well everywhere. WIN WIN

[justanoldman1]

@Gardenstatehomecomin Did you know that the current level of CO2 is 385 PPM and back when the dinos were here it was over 4000PPM. Did you know that every commercial greenhouse has CO2 generators to bring the levels up over 1000PPM to help the plants grown stronger and faster?

Did you know that man's total contribution to CO2 levels in less than 1% of the total in the air now?

Did you know that this whole global warming scam is just a way for some people to make lots of money from us?

[Gardenstatehomecomin]

yup i agree

[unsureandunaware]

im not a fan of ed either but its the previous administration that made it hard for him to govern. and idont think they should change the name but they just need the money to put there ideas out there and get comercials and such and start getting more interviews and news appearences

[Gardenstatehomecomin]

well the wld rose alliance is just another center right wing party just like the socreds and the PC. but it will be good to have greater opposition to steady eddie

but it would be preferable tohave it from a left wing party like Ndp or green.. and yeah i think the green party should be recognized for alot more than eviromentalism. maybe they should consider changing there name to a avoid the tree hugger prejudice

[unsureandunaware]

i live in alberta to so i know how it is lol although the wildrose alliance should pick up some seats soon. people should know though that the green party is not just about the enviroment though, people think that greens are just tree huggers lol which were not

[Gardenstatehomecomin]

you know global warming has to happen beacause we learned in school that it happenes naturally all the time but we do contrubute to it alot with the C02 that we put into the atmosphere and it speeds up the natural warming and freezing cycle. i'm just wondering do you even know what the greenhouse affect is?

[Gardenstatehomecomin]

thats true.... Who are the only two parties that have won in Canada scince1867

The liberlsand the conservatives so there reallyneeds to be a big change

[Gardenstatehomecomin]

nope beacause here we have the freedom of speech so he can say whatever he wants and so can you.

but yes the greens are very popular all over the world and have formed official in many countries. and 10% of canadians voted for green in 2008 thats more than the bloc and they got around 50 seats. and in 2012 according to polls the greens will have an even higher number of voters on there side and possibly a couple of seats too
