Plus hell would have to freeze over before I'm riding an electric dirt bike and giving up the Brraappp and the beautiful smell of the exhaust.

Attach a boom box on the back with a Brraappp CD, problem solved. Now that was easy, just kidding. Your kids would love it.

Since change is usually unavoidable unless you take to hiding under the bed, best to embrace it!

Nope...BC, and we see them all out here, I am especially upset with environmentalists that abandon their rusty hulk ships for us to clean up (Ucluelet) after they tire of them, and the tree spikers that cause people to slice half their face off, not to mention the ones that purposely derail oil transport trains and create spills and fires. (Whatcom County). Here is the Canadian environmentalists side of the story'. Locals have a different perspective.

So should we start a list - on one side list all the damage "environmental groups" do to the environment and compare that to Oil companies damages on the other side? would that make you happy?

How do you feel about Baja locals (generally Mexican) cooking and heating with wood? And how about how they manage their refuse (pit burns) ?

"Hard to get your point across when you act like that."

Do you support ongoing logging of protected old growth timber?
If not, what strategies are you applying to stop it?

I cant believe anyone thought you were from Alberta, JD. You sound BC all the way, to me.

Maybe it's the Vancouver Island shading that fooled them. Just not the over-the-top liberalism of a person from Vancouver or Ontario.

I heat with a wood stove all winter in the northern California foot hills. What goes up the chimney is a small contribution compared to my burn piles of dead trees, under brush and tree thinning to lessen the wildfire danger.

Whether the forest is protected, or just over grown rural areas, we are currently burning it by the hundreds of thousands of acres, with a carbon footprint that can be seen from space!

Composting is great, but it is not practical to try to compost acres of dead trees. Even if you could, if the methane generated is not captured, it is a far worse pollutant than the CO2 and soot generated by the fires.




If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

If the sea raised higher, that flat area behind the beach would be a lagoon. It is not. In any case, the same is true around the world... Even the Maldives are still above the sea. Banks would not loan money for beach houses if there was any truth to the sea level scare.

Why would anyone build in New Orleans or the Netherlands?

Or even along the shores of Malibu and the bluffs here in North County San Diego?

Because they can?

A six pager climate discussion - alright. Knew I'd seen the Solomon pic before...... part of a 60 mins austrailia pgm. It is quite an interesting take on the two sides here.

No doubt the planet is getting warmer, no doubt it's caused by the burning of fossil fuels, no doubt it's causing major problems.

Dry is drier, wet is wetter, hot is hotter, storms are stronger, droughts are longer, floods are deeper, wildfires are wilder, coastlines are moving. Plus there is migration out of the tropics, which are expanding, into more temperate latitudes.

It's happening now.
