Climate change barbie

In what way does a legal background qualify you for anything other than legal work. Agree with most she was a poor appointment.

My experience working with lawyers(teachers too actually) on non professional type projects is that no matter what they are right and everyone else is wrong, no need to question anything they say. Really hard to work with those attitudes.

Where are the moderators for this forum? This should be a place for respectful discussion, not name calling and derogatory remarks.

Why start moderating now? This Barbie reference has been going on for weeks and no one has questioned it. Where are Vicki and farm gal? Surely they don't want themselves or their daughters dismissed and referred to as "barbies" or some other sexist name?


I try to stick to debating the issues but sometimes you have to make a point.

If she was on the opposition benches and spoke against a carbon tax nobody on Agriville would refer to her as Barbie. Period. Does Candice Bergen Conservative MP get called a barbie? Nope

Your generalizations are wrong and big egos cross all classes, professions, and political lines.

Just say you disagree with her policy and explain why.

You would insult women who see through Climate Barbie's hypocrisy? To the point then, chucky -

Breathe deeply for a few moments before you try to respond there chucky boy!

Good thing you have rebel media to tell you how to think. Kinda of explains a lot .

Since when is hypocrisy or double standards or political name calling news in politics? Almost every party has some example of it.

The focuss for many critics of Mckenna seems to be personal sexist attacks. Why focuss on the Minister personally when it is Liberal policy that you don't agree with.

stick to the issues, make your arguments and avoid the personal.

What go dept do you work for chucky as it seems you just spew leftard policy and won't answer a question.

For the scientific record CO2 is necessary for life but in excess, increases the greenhouse effect.

Therefore in excess it is considered a pollutant. Check out the Scientific American article on CO2.

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-worst-climate-pollution-is-carbon-dioxide/

You guys are grasping at straws with your lame arguments.

Politicians are not the experts in climatology or climate change although there may be a climate scientist in politics somewhere.

In government they have scientific experts who draw on the current research. There are numerous Environment Canada climatologists or experts to advise the minister.

Some you guys need a lesson in how governments work.

OK, the govt has a bunch of qualified people giving the govt advice on policy.

So why has these EXPERTS been wrong on almost every prediction they made about global warming?

Look at this chart.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._state_temperature_extremes

There have been only two record extreme HIGH temps recorded in the US since 2000.
South Carolina and South Dakota

And there have been TWO record extreme COLD temps recorded since 2000.
Maine and Oklahoma.

Where is the dangerous global CO2 in those facts?

This in spite of the BS fact promoted by some alarmists that all of the years since 2000 have been the hottest years ever except for 1998.
How does your experts explain that?

And 1936 still holds the record for STILL having 13 record extreme high temps in one year.

That was before CO2 producing cars were wide spread and you had to be careful not to step in the exhaust.

It's very simple, chucky boy. If Climate Barbie doesn't like being called names, then she should lead by example and quit calling others derisive names.. Apparently you have trouble understanding cause and effect, action and reaction.

Oh wait - that pretty well fits the Liberal way - trigger the cause and decry the effect when it doesn't fit your preconception.

Here's another little problem chucky - what good will it do to carbon tax ourselves into poverty when China's CO2 INCREASE is greater in a few days than Canada's reductions amount to in a year?

So you see, it's really not about reduction, it's all about wealth transfer.

Since you claim to want facts, let me give you an example - Ontario's cap and trade policy is tied to Quebec and California's carbon credits trading scheme.

Ontario will not see any monetary return from the deal for 3 years after entering into the agreement. Remember, cap and trade does not directly reduce CO2 emissions, it merely adds costs to those who cannot reduce their emissions.

It is going to cost Ontario $300,000,000.00 per year to purchase the necessary credits. So that's almost a billion dollars sucked out of our economy just to maintain the pretense that we are SAVING THE PLANET.

Oh, by the way, you might look at it as those despised transfer payments are funding our foul premier's dream of being the greenest place in the world!

Not really helping, but still a feel-good religion. So maybe we should be calling McKenna the "Climate Priessstessssss!"

Would that make you feel better chucky? LOL!

[newguy]

In Sask we are already paying a carbon tax that Wall stuck us with.a white elephant idea that cost the province dearly.

I like the picture at Halloween, climate crusader and spenderman . "LOOK IN THE AIR IT'S A BIRD ,IT'S A PLANE no wait its just a helicopter flying spenderman on taxpayers expense to a private island"

Let's see now.

Gore is a LAWYER pushing AGW.

Suzuki is a FLY scientist pushing AGW.

McKenna is a LAWYER pushing AGW and BIG CARBON TAXES.

Can't see where any of them were trained in climatology or meteorology.

And all of them are FOS when it comes to AGW and the earth's thermodynamic system.

McKenna blew her qualifications for the job when she declared CO2 was a pollutant.

Only a scientifically illiterate person make a statement like that.

But, when someone such as Tim Ball shows evidence to the contrary of AGW, they are ridiculed as being not qualified, yet somehow, all these people listed, with no education on the subject, or even in science at all, are qualified. I'm confusede.

Checkout Wikipedia's take on Tim Ball. He is almost 80 years old now.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_Ball#Climate_change-related_activism

Read the following article on Tim Ball from the Globe and Mail 2006
Nurturing doubt about climate change is big business

https://beta.theglobeandmail.com/incoming/nurturing-doubt-about-climate-change-is-big-business/article967272/?ref=http://www.theglobeandmail.com&

"Few in the audience have any idea that Dr. Ball hasn't published on climate science in any peer-reviewed scientific journal in more than 14 years. They do not know that he has been paid to speak to federal MPs by a public-relations company that works for energy firms. Nor are they aware that his travel expenses are covered by a group supported by donors from the Alberta oil patch".

Tim Ball's resume and activism read like they are from big tobacco's playbook to deny smoking caused cancer.

All you need to do is create a little doubt in the minds of people that the science proving climate change is suspect. How many ordinary citizens have the ability or knowledge to know whether it is true or not?

Tim Ball can make public speeches where there is no climate scientists to challenge his mis-information and get away with it and sound convincing. But he has no credibility in the world of real climate change scientists.

Tim Ball is a political activist with close ties to the oil industry.
