    Just how do you Canadians breed when everyone in your country has a vagina?

    Sorry, George. It's on NASA's site. The droughts that you have been having is due to weather patterns that didn't bring Gulf of Mexico moisture north. You are so dependent on the weather that the only moisture you get is from down south. That should change shortly when you get snow from the ever cooling Arctic.

    Droughts, floods, heat, cold, rain, snow, all random. Been going on for billions of years. Dinosaur bones have been found on Ellesmere Island, just a stone's throw from the north pole. Nothing unusual there. Scientists studying tree remnants on Greenland estimate that the Arctic ice was about half its present extent 5000 years ago. This all makes sense, the earth is now in one of its coolest times between ice ages. Well that's a problem for our grandchildren.

    Anyone listening to the great scientist Al Gore should also pay close attention to L. Ron Hubbard. Two of a kind. And Jim Jones advised drinking the Kool-Aid. Go on, have a deep drink. I've watched how mankind has taken the pitiful mess this planet was in and built upon it. Cleaning up the deadwood. Much like Albertans are cleaning up that natural oil spill in the oil sands. It will take a while, the spill is massive, but Canadians are can do people unlike the whimpy Yanks who live in cities.

    There is no climate crisis. Another figment from the scammers feeding at the funding trough. There is a science crisis however. So many otherwise unemployable graduates of the schools that don't understand climate (and no one really does, it's so chaotic) willing to join the scam just to pay their bills. That's understandable. They aren't smart enough to be tradesmen. And too brainwashed to wash dishes.

    Isn't this the Gore that says the earth's core is millions of degrees? Aren't believers in Al's intelligence even stupider than Al himself? How stupid do you have to become to be eligible for a peace prize? What has this piece of shit done to help destroy science?
