I find it intriguing that anyone who might use that terminology has the IQ and literary skills to converse in words with more than one syllable

I suddenly feel very insignificant

I guess politics doesn't count as a business? you get to lie on your job application (think McGuinty) you don't have to pay attention to the majority of your shareholders (think Harper, for one) you get to make up rules as you go (think Harper senate appointments) you get to be nasty to anyone...

Cinnamon flavored panties?

Not to belabor a point (but isn't that what we do so well here?) But... "I'll tell you what the problem with so called "tree huggers" is... " really sounds more like 'directly' to me. But I agree, we did get there, or at least we're getting closer. Now maybe if we weren't filling those...

Normally I find you rather level headed CG, but why is it that 'tree huggers' get blamed cause someone solved one bad idea with another worse idea. That sounds a little twisted to prove a point. If all products were developed based on real costs, including end of life costs, perhaps the...

OK, so every country in the northern hemisphere is positioning themselves to lay claim to the Arctic now that the seasonal ice is disappearing. And virtually every land based iceberg on the planet is well documented as retreating at epic levels. And Sea based ice is retreating at both poles...

Explain to me when liking trees became socially unacceptable. Wasn't it you that suggested trees where the reason you could fire up your SUV and pollute till you drop?

Got me again you tricky dickens. I live in a 70 year old house heated by a 95% efficient NG furnace. I increased the insulation to take me from a 47 efficiency rating to over 80. (at 74 i would have been in the top 5% of homes in my category for all of Canada. Now my terrain is too low...

You just discovered that trees convert CO2 into oxygen? Who's the expert? Your grade 3 teacher? Problem with that is that trees don't do much of anything when we cut them all down. Since the start of the Industrial Revolution, as much as 50% of the tropical forests on the planet have been...

Well put Flubadub Perhaps I have been here too long to be any less than extremely cynical. I realize, as Oagre responded, that this is a thread about Gore's hypocrisy, not about the reality of climate change and peak oil. The problem is that the delusional deniers of these problems, use...

Sorry Blackrock, but you seemed to miss my apparent bad attempt at sarcastic humor. Fact is I have far from given up. I believe we still have hope in spite of some pretty ominous issues. And I do in fact spend the majority of my time doing something about it. I also understand fully the...

I am so glad we have finally realized that Al Gore is a jerk. That thought will give me so much comfort when I watch Las Vegas crumble to dust and revert back to desert. Or when the lights go out in southern California when Lake Mead dries up, or a few billion coastal residents are homeless...

Thanks Questor I think more people will take things seriously when oil hits $200 or $300 a barrel. Sad that we wait until our pocket book drives our motivation instead of just doing the right thing because it is the right thing to do. For those that think there is some new oil reserves waiting...

Well because you asked so nicely, and because I could just sit and watch your slide show all day, my answer to your question. I think the answer is not will North America recover. The answer is how will it look when it does. We are all cruising towards the perfect storm. Our planet has probably...

a good read. Why your World IS About to Get A Whole lot Smaller, Jeff Rubin http://www.randomhouse.ca/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9780307373205 According to maverick economist Jeff Rubin, there will be no energy bailout. The global economy has suffered oil crises in the past, but this time...

I assume you are not from the area Captain Kirk. Newmarket is a small city directly north of Toronto on Yonge St.

Oh my!!! What a gorgeous smile. I just want to run over and give you a big long kiss on the lips. (Perhaps a little tongue action???)

Be the only one on your block with this GM concept car. And if that's not enough, when you get bored with the body style, a few minutes and a couple of bolts and you lift the entire chassis and replace it with a different one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jHFT1X1JDI

Sorry JTK, but good sportsmanship is not something you need to reflect on. The Americans played one of the best hockey games I have ever witnessed and should be proud. These games saw athletes perform amidst some real and ultimate tragedy in the loss of a team mate and a parent. Taking home a...
