I'll just listen to these world experts for an hour (and I have read some of their papers to support their teachings), all from MIT, Harvard, and the top schools in the world. Funny how they also see that politics buys science.

With climate change, income inequality, racism, xenophobia, religious extremists, war, and famine all around us, I often wonder what the world is coming to.

Desmog - owned by a public relations firm out of Vancouver.

the Guargian link: 'Carl Wunsch was most certainly not "duped" into appearing in the film, as is perfectly clear from our correspondence with him. Nor are his comments taken out of context. His interview, as used in the programme, perfectly accurately represents what he said.'

Not one of Gore's predictions have come true, yet his lies have now made him the first climate change myth billionaire. Follow the money.

This.

I work in the oil industry at the moment and this is how my co-workers make fun of extreme environmentalists.

I especially love those Climate Change protests that leave a ton of garbage behind.

You gotta admit, it's a hell of a creative way to fund a round the world tour... if only I had been such a genius when I was a kid or had a platform for my "super educated" viewpoints to be spread when I was a "super educated" 16 years old hahaha

Just because someone believes in climate change they should be not allowed to travel?

If you really want to support alberta you should disconnect from B.C. Hydro and run a gas generator 24/7.

It’s ironic that the conspiracy theory around CO2-based climate change is that it’s a political agenda, and this same narrative is the basis for civil action against the government. The legal stick handling will be interesting.

As yes, the one extreme or the other response. By all means travel, but when attempting to use the means of travel as some sort of bragging point (when the way you did it actually makes it worse) maybe one should opt for the most eco-friendly option of all. Especially when the trip is a short one.

Next time there's a climate strike downtown, someone should park a big diesel generator there and offer to charge everyone's iPhone for free.

Wasting resources to try and stop something that's not real.

ie. the money we are spending on climate change can go to other services.

I've never looked at the research, but if neil de grasse tyson says climate change is real, then I believe it. I naively trust that guy.

That’s completely unrealistic. You forgot about public transit.

Well sure. Females are generally much more emotionally driven, while men are typically more rationally minded. Generally.
I think that's fairly common knowledge though, as can be seen most pronounced through trends of occupational choice.
