Trump's Speech on Paris Accord

[grassfarmer]

YES! every weather report says YAY it's warm/hot /great! Who the f*ck wants it COLDER?
Grassy I guess, go freeze your ASS off!
Nothing lives/grows in the COLD. Jungles happen where HOT!

So are there more trees around La Ronge than down around the Big Muddy? Pretty sure it's hotter in the south than the north in your province. Have you been to Death Valley? heard of El Azizia, Libya or the Sahara?

[chuckChuck]

Yes Trump and the USA join Syria and Nicaragua as the only 3 countries in the world which are not part of the Paris Climate Agreement.

Trump is undoubtedly the greatest President and leader of all time on every issue, joining some of the leading countries on earth in their battle against the oppression of a lower carbon world.

Pretty soon Trump will tell us that shitting in our drinking water is ok and some agrivillers will still cheer him on.

Well chuck hate to break it to you but it's already allowed to shit in drinking water. Regina flushes millions of gallons gown the quappelle chain of lakes.

Chuck and Grass, if you give all of your money, your land, your home to the Paris Accord for redistribution, you will feel like a million dollars from that day forward. Think what a difference you can make in the world if you can convince all your friends to join you. Everyone can make a difference. Let's start with you.

LOL! Or imagine grassy, chucky or forage and others pedaling bikes around, delivering their tofu products to smiling potheads...

Great idea!

But like all Liberals, they will only like practical applications to theoretical "problems" when they affect others, not themselves!

Grassy what makes you think because the world warms up you will get more deserts? Liife has always flourished during warm periods which were a lot warmer then today. Life always perishes during ice ages that were. Not 20000 years ago Where we farm the Ice was over a mile thick! Question for grass and chuck. What would it take for you to admit the world may actually be cooling? I know you'll laugh to your self and think what a dumb ass and tell yourself how much smarter you are then everyone else but more and more data is showing that's where we are heading. Just curious what it takes to change from what I would call religious blind faith in all this. Just wait for it, pull out the 97% of scientists statement which has totally been proven as a fabrication

I recall a joke made when George W Bush was in power - when asked by a reporter for his opinion on the Kyoto accord he replied by asking "the two door or the four door?"
Bush must be laughing now as Trump takes over the title of the dumbest American president ever elected.

Grassfarmer, you should take a look at George Bushes home in Texas. It uses a geothermal heating and is very energy efficient. And what about the environment's buddy Al Gore, he has what 4 houses? George Bush certainly was far from perfect but he is not as full of BS as Al Gore.

As for the Paris Accord, it is a nice aspirational document. But let's be realistic, since it's signing both Canada's and the U.S.'s C02 have continued to rise. Instead of proposing to tax the shit out of everybody, why not invest in research that makes so-called green alternatives more affordable. If they make economic sense no government subsidy or law is required for people to use them!

Saw the CEO of the USA's biggest coal miner on CNBC today. He was a happy man. Others thought that globally people will buy less USA goods negatively effecting exports......

[perfecho]

Not weighing in on the Paris accord, don't know enough about it.....just a comment on your last post Hamloc....Governments need not get involved if economically feasible.....just thinking that most big changes have come around with government involvement. Our oil sands in Alberta, the government was heavily involved, computers, our railway system, in the past , much of our Ag development was done through government research.....and after googling....jets, aircraft, universities, highways and the internet.
Sometimes, they must be smarter than we give them credit for.....Cheers.

Sure hope there is a Trudeau in the future. That way he can legislate a halt to the impending ice age.
Enlarging the 'middle class' by lowering the qualifier and putting us all in the same leaky boat.
Of course we dare not question.......

Errr, maybe look at the history of the prairies during the 1930s?

Farm practices have changed since the thirties. Had we not changed since then we would be in a dust bowl this spring.
