SOME GREAT COMMENTS:

Kevin Sloan 3 weeks ago ** BRAVO !! This song IS bringing Canadians TOGETHER !
The first time in ten years that Canadians can agree on something.  Heave steve , that scumbag on Oct 19 .   /// Cherry Picker Guitars 3 weeks ago ** Wow – I want to buy everyone there a beer! (in fact, I wish I was buying a beer for 30 million Canadians, because beyond his family, who could possibly still want him around?

David McCaig 3 weeks ago ** +Cherry Picker Guitars. Most Canadians voted for someone else other than Harper to be PM. Our electoral system allows those with the least fewest votes to govern 100% of the population. Worst system ever.   /// mcaddicts 1 week ago ** Revoke Harperman’s citizenship and ship him to the US where he belongs with his pals Ted, Jeb and his Idol W.   

Winston Kent 2 weeks ago ** CANADA HAS AWAKEN ! Proud to be Canadian again. Get outta town Harperman!  /// Rachel French 3 weeks ago ** I’d like to see all what he did and didn’t do ! The gov need to take responsibility of their actions against all man k kind.

Patrick Ritchie 3 weeks ago ** please record more videos and continue to help.for us all to understand is 7 billion brains are better than one.  /// Jai666666666 4 weeks ago ** I still think the Queen’s agenda is going to come in, but they won’t let me in the Builderburg to find out what it is!  What is this election, some kind of conspiracy therapy? What does our fucken Queen want from us?

Garry Mclean 3 weeks ago ** +Jai666666666 The Bilderburg agenda is the New World Order since 1954.  Do a little research and the look at the way Canada has gone especially the past 11 years.  A number of Canadian leaders have attended Bilderburg including Harper in 2003.  The TPP is the 2nd last conquest for the NWO Last will be joining EU Nafta and Tpp into one.  Youtube— Wake up call- New World Order must see !!!!! explains it all.  Careful you will be called a conspiracy nut.  Funny how theories prey on logic and common sense and the versions we are told to believe make little or nosense at all.  David McCaig 3 weeks ago ** +Garry Mclean Most of those who attended the 1st BBF are dead. Lot of good it did them or will do for those who follow.

Patrick Ritchie 3 weeks ago ** you are the only climate change professional i want to hear more of, I am getting the word though, Paul, as I’m a taxi driver, in the UK, and I’m trying my best to enlighten my customer’s on this issue of THE most important issue that will mean the extinction of human beings in the near term.most think I’m mad, but their madness will come.  /// Cherry Picker Guitars 3 weeks ago ** F@#$%&* awesome!!! – the spirit of Woody Guthrie lives!

‘During a recent hike in Washington State’s Olympic National Park, I marveled at the delicate geometry of frost-covered ferns. … Yet I found myself beginning to wonder how many more winters ice would continue to form there.

The disparity of the beauty before me with my troubled thoughts about the planet has found no reconciliation. I had been collecting data and conducting interviews for articles about methane releases in the Arctic for weeks…

“Our climate system is in early stages of abrupt climate change that, unchecked, will lead to a temperature rise of 5 to 6 degrees Celsius within a decade or two.”

To consider the possibility that humans have altered the atmosphere of the earth so drastically as to put our own lives in danger seems, at least emotionally, unfathomable. Given the scale of the planet, one would think, logically, it might not even be possible.  Yet the majestic snow-covered peaks near where I live may no longer have glaciers (or even snow) within my lifetime. …

Paul Beckwith, a climatology and meteorology professor at the University of Ottawa, Canada, is an engineer and physicist who researches abrupt climate change in both the present day and in the paleoclimatology records of the deep past.

“It is my view that our climate system is in early stages of abrupt climate change that, unchecked, will lead to a temperature rise of 5 to 6 degrees Celsius within a decade or two,” Beckwith told me. “Obviously, such a large change in the climate system will have unprecedented effects on the health and well-being of every plant and animal on our planet.”

Sealed Message in Time Capsule, To Be Read in 100 Years

Posted on November 28, 2014 by paulbeckwith

My official sealed message in a time capsule at the University of Ottawa for people to read in 100 years…

“Congratulations, since you are reading this message.  It means that rationality and science based thought and actions defeated ideology and fundamentalism in my time period.  It is not clear to me now, as I write to you, that science will win out.

Climate change is rapidly accelerating, manifested mostly in the enormous Arctic temperature amplification, which of course reduces the temperature gradient with the equator, and is directly responsible for increasing waviness, fracturing, and chaotic behavior in the jet streams.

In turn, this is leading to a great increase in the frequency, severity and duration of extreme weather events such as floods and droughts.   The warming of the atmosphere and oceans in the Arctic is causing the release of methane and CO2 in a vicious feedback cycle.

Which in turn threaten the global food supply and global stability.  In fact many people are losing hope that civilization will last much longer.  Not me, however.  I am confident that rationality will kick in soon, there will be a tipping point in human behavior, and we will deal with climate change to ensure survival allowing you to read this message.  Have a nice day:)”

In defense of AMEG (Arctic Methane Emergency Group)

In defense of AMEG–Arctic Methane Emergency Group //Published on Apr 6, 2014

‘What is AMEG–Arctic Methane Emergency Group-)? Why did we form and when? Who are we, and what do we want? I joined 2.5 years ago–1 month after the group started–and this is my rebuttal of all the misconceptions floating around in social media.’
