May have to stock up on extensions for the auger.
If we are going to solve pollution problems CO2 ain’t it. I’m far more worried around water and soil pollution.
We as a society need to look for alternatives to fossil fuel not because of emissions (that’s simply a money grab) but because we will eventually will run out and it will take a century to figure it out those alternatives. Best we start now.

oil
We are addicted to oil/hydrocarbon and society will have hard time lowering our Standard of Living we enjoy. Solar panels and windmills will "Never" be able to replace this energy source and plastics building block. Hell windmills is 100 year old technology, we had them on many farms in Alberta and Sask.
We will be Burning Dinasours for rest of 21st century especially in Canada a very cold/big northern country!
Then with Ontario losing Auto industry and Alberta with no Oil industry, Canada's largest export $$ where the hell will we get our jobs and money.

Used to be global warming
Changed it to climate change
Idiots
There is nothing wrong with the planet. Some wiener thinks he can save it from what it does naturally.....makes things extinct. Thats what the Earth does best. Makes things extinct and heals itself.
You can hug trees, eat leaves, ride a bike, wear the same clothes every day, rub granola bars on your arse...it doesnt matter. The Earth is in charge. When Mother Earth gets sick of you, she will kill you

Yup! And if O'le Mother Nature decides we need a mini ice age, the liberals of the world will find a way to tax that too!. Taxing a tax on a tax is what liberals do.

They should get a bunch of world powerhouses together to brainstorm on how to change the worlds weather. They ought to come up with a great plan.

The only problem with the earth is that there are too many humans on it. Nature will find a way to fix that. Some of us are arrogant enough to think man can change the weather. Pfft.
An ice age? That might work.

Exactly
5 billion years, countless eruptions and asteroids, polar shifts, plate movement and earthquakes and floods and droughts and solar flares and the best Trudeau can do is plastic straws and refillable bottles (barely)......
So, what have I done?
I do what normal people do. I recycle what i can, i dont litter, i cut deadfall, i hunt, i give away what i dont use, and i dont pollute myself or my family with social media

950 JDJ, they are coming out with a Canadian Woolly special edition. Upside down maple leaf on the stock and a list of outlets where you can turn it in to the liberals after purchase.

You have a standing order for the Mammoth wool! I would love to own a Woolly Mammoth hand-fitted custom and knitted sweater! Probably warmer than my Icelandic wool sweaters!

All for trying to limit pollution to the air, soil, and water but this climate change stuff I am not buying it. Man doesn’t have near the control many think we do when it comes to this planet.
Carbon taxes won’t fix anything and we do all kinds of damage that is not carbon related. We are wasteful and overpopulated that is the bigger issue.
Really just go take a look at the unnecessary garbage we make that is really no use like excessive packaging, crap products with a short lifespan and one use items. Consider the long term impact of our infrastructure especially our cities
But let’s focus on climate change something that has been happening on this planet since the beginning of time.

Thank you, Mavrick!

We are definitely on the same page, Smoky.
I am still choked that they cancelled plastic recycling in my municipality. Turns out whoever was contracted to recycle it just routed it to the Pacific Rim for disposal, and they finally said, "no more!" Maddening.
We have the technology to use more sustainable packaging, to recycle many of our consumable materials. Why couldn't the carbon tax money go into supporting that kind of thing, instead of shipping it to some other country as a kind of penance/equalization payment?
Add to that, many of us don't mind paying a bit more if we can get better quality products and services. Bonus if they are locally sourced. But we are not the majority... The masses are happy to buy 'n toss.

I have been saying it for years there is one simple change that would make a big impact without impacting the lives of people.
Regulate unnecessary packaging and you would likely cut waste in half. Products would take up less space meaning you could transport more products in one load in many cases as well. You would cut back on waste in the production of packaging. It would cut back on production costs to companies as well and maybe intern lower prices
Only loss is fancy advertising on packaging and the company would not be able to fool consumers with half empty packaging trying to make them think they are getting more
Personally I doubt anyone would miss the extra garbage and can’t see a negative to it
But instead we focus on fluff like climate change and carbon tax instead of making realistic changes
So many simple changes that could be made that I bet would see overwhelming public support but yet we focus on stupidity
