Our news is so much more condescending. I hate Mansbridge.

And that prank was funny.

[mandapuram]

did she say "DOES PROTESTING CHANGE ANYTHING"

OMG LOL

On another note, whether or not climate change is anthropogenic and who is or isn't profiting off the excess hype is not the real issue. Look at examples of the major factors that create 'climate change' - Alberta tar sands, Amazon deforestation, U.S. over-consumption and the resulting Iraq oil wars - these are all issues of SOCIAL and ENVIRONMENTAL INJUSTICE that need to be addressed regardless of the resulting long-term symptoms.

cbc news FAIL: 40% below 1990 levels would NOT be 'doubling it's emissions cuts' , considering Canada committed to a 20% reduction from 2006 levels, which were already 22% above 1990 levels. I am not a math genius, but I think Canada would have to nearly TRIPLE it's pathetic effort to get to what this hoax is recommending.

Well fine, only reason I use that is because it's what changed my mind on the issue. If you don't wanna listen to me, thats fine. But if you cannot listen to the 31,000+ scientists that do not agree with global warming listed here- oism(DOT)org(FORWARDSLASH)ppro­ject

then I fear you are a lost cause.

[PreetSG]

Again, your point about the graph is not valid. It is like you telling me gravity is proven wrong because oil floats on water...

And if you can only have a graph as your proof, isn't your case pathetic?

[PreetSG]

No. That is called La Nina, something global warming creates. What happens is that Arctic pressure would come down and the North would have less snowfall.

That is why this year Turkey and Spain is getting more snow than Denmark and Norway and definitely Vancouver!

Also, while snowfall is higher due to precipitation, but it is not exactly Arctic temperatures due to position.

So this proves global warming, not disproves it.

@CathRun08 its really not a joke..the yes men try to fix what the world has fucked up...the next thing to do would be to Get better border control and throw out all the Mexicans and the Somalians...america has done so many things wrong its about time people try and fix these kind of things

[opopopopopi]

@PreetSG they say we are in global warming but have you seen the news latley..every single state got snow..lots of it record snowfall..the year before that was a record setting winter..i dont think colder Climates and such are global warming...do you?

[ritherz]

You've failed to look at the graph again, I cannot argue with one who will not look at my point of view... but then again that is an argument isn't it- too people unwilling to look at the other's point of view for fear their life outlook will change. Trust me, everything you've brought up so far I've seen, and I once believed it.
