Saving the planet

[sumdumguy]

Burnt. We are one of the lowest polluters a.got to love your math,, we produce at least 5 times more per capita than anyone else and 30 times more than India, So how do you figure we are the lowest ,read the chart you posted'

Huh, horse, I don’t get your point. Are you reading it upside down?

[Horse]

We produce 1.6 with 34 mill people India produces 6.4 with over 1 billion people so no I don't think I am reading upside down. As a country we produce less but per capita we are very high.

WHO GIVES A SHIT per capita, the percentage is a f*cking joke! How about it's COLD here, how about we drive a 1000 times further than India, how about moving our products 2000 miles to market over frickin mountains? Canada could DISAPPEAR and the world would NOT notice. But yes we are a carbon SINK! Get a brain morons!

Horse, perhaps you need a feed of oats to boost your cognitive abilities.

Here let me help you out with a few facts:

1) CO2 is NOT pollution, but rather one of the most essential elements on earth. Perhaps you didn't know this either, but those oats that you need to help boost your performance need CO2 to grow and produce. Just like humans (and horses) need oxygen to live! So, we inhale oxygen and exhale CO2, while oats absorb CO2 and produce, well, OATS!

Isn't that a lovely synergy! So perhaps that will help you understand that rather than CO2 beng a pollutant, it is, instead, essential for life!

Someone should really tell Climate Barbie that so she can stop embarrassing herself and everyone else when she gets up in the House or behind a mic. But, sadly, it likely won't help cuz you can't roll a tonne of horse feed from a bushel of oats.

2) Per capita means ZERO in this scheme, since it does not account for the volume of goods produced in the system. And since the majority of CO2 emissions occurs while producing raw products - oil, timber, minerals, etc - which we export a lot of, we are bearing the alleged "burden" of the major part of CO2 production emanating from the final product.

However, when taking into consideration FACT #1, it really doesn't matter where the CO2 is produced.

So, I suggest you quit harassing the working man and woman and go peddle your stupid guilt-tripping scheme somewhere else - like maybe Hollywood or the Paris Climate conferences, where the truly wasteful idiots are jetting around with their mile-high clubs.

#3) Since the chart alone indicates that we are a completely insignificant CO2 producer in ANY scale, ratio or dimension, any actions taken here to purportedly reduce CO2 emissions will be wiped out in about 3 hours or days by the weekly INCREASE in China's CO2 emissions.

So horse, tell us again -what good will a carbon tax do to help save the planet?

(Hey, somebody over there - take his nosebag off so he can answer!)

Say, horse, let me help you out with another fact:

Since you chose India for your comparison, let's look at another factor - the poverty level in both countries.

Did you know that the percentage of people living below the "poverty line" in Canada is considerably less than half of that in India?

And that, furthermore, most of those (but not all) who live below the poverty line in Canada still live like kings and queens compared to those trapped in poverty in India?

And did you know that when you turn that percentage into actual numbers of people that live in poverty, the Canadian number barely registers on the scale, compared to India?

So do you need help in understanding that we Canadian people are benefiting immensely from our well-developed system while India paying a huge human price for their "lower per capita emissions"? Thank goodness for the industries that brought us to where we are!!! (Meanwhile the GLibs and Dippers are driving more out of Canada every week)

Do you understand now that it all depends how you look at ALL the numbers and facts?

Here's another fact that I'll try to help you understand - at the rate that Climate Barbie and Jihadi Justin Wretched Notley, John Whorgan and Butch Wynne are going, we are very soon going to feel the effect of their colossally ignorant greenwash policies in the form of poverty like we haven't seen since the 30s.

But hey, mares will be free to call themselves studs and wear strap-ons and studs will be free to wear skirts and participate in women's sporting events.

Isn't that a lovely thought, horse?

Yeah or Neigh?

Thanks burnt that was sweet!

Horse. Since your on the per capita spiel it would do you good to check out the per capita GDP figures for the world.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal)_per_capita

[sawfly1]

Not a big deal. But if the east used oil solely from Canada. Which I would favor .
Is actually a socialist move. There has to be a free market reason. Price ? That it is not

[Horse]

Well that certainly covered the track , from not piloting to who gives a fu-ck we live in cold and miles from markets to poverty in India/Canada to need for carbon for my daily feed of oats, all because I happened to mention that we as people of Canada produce more CO2 than almost all countries in the world, Your argument is like saying my cows don't produce methane,, yea I don't own any cows so of course they don't produce any. Statistics will tell you anything you like to hear, all you have to do is SPIN them.

Please redo your India vs. Canada per person emission CO2. I believe you might find the 1:30 ratio is off really badly, if that is your only comparison that you are going to use.

Now was that "burnt" to the first, second or third degree? Cremation?
