Eating Crow - Big Time

He's hoping you won't notice or, if you do, that you'll forget by the time we have another election. Stephen Harper and Global Warming, who'd a thunk it? Stephen the Green and it all seemed to happen virtually overnight.

Stevie now gets it, right? He's gone from global warming denier to global warming advocate in about the time it takes him to change his underwear.

He gets it so much that he's bringing back many of the Liberal initiatives he so recently scorned. A big announcement is expected today that will do just that, of course without admitting it. How about something close to a billion dollars for wind power programmes or Liberal initiatives to encourage energy-saving home upgrades?

Whatever you do, just don't call them Liberal. You gotta forget all that. These are Tory initiatives, always were - right? There'll be a lot of tweaking to make it appear distinct from the Liberal programmes, solar and tidal power technology as though these areas would never have been thought of by Stephane Dion.

Hey, when was the last time you heard Stevie puff himself up and bellow "energy superpower"? He seems to have dummied up on that one lately.

By the way, has anyone noticed that CanWest still can't bring itself to use the term "global warming" substituting the Republican alternative "climate change" instead? Hey Asper, don't sugar coat it. It is global warming, accept it, Stevie has.

Sorry DIP but there is an overwhelming concensus on this but you'll never learn about it from FOX or NewsMax. If you want to eat the drivel they dish out that's your business. You want to learn about the "real" scientists who support GW? A guy with your curiosity and openess can find them easily. You can start by looking into the IPCC. Good luck on your quest for knowledge.

And here I was foolishly going to ask if any of these so-called "real scientists" were government funded. Turns out that's the lynchpin of the organization's title.

Sorry, but if global warming devotees can refuse any scientist who isn't paid for by biased governments, then those of us who have realistic ideas of humanity's impact on the globe can do the same.

Find me some scientists not funded by government or pro-environment NGOs that believe in global warming. Leave these special interest groups at home.

Feynman: Your logic is incredulous. Many of them do work for governments, NGOs and universities, but so what? Oh I see, you suggest there is a dark, global conspiracy by the Western world to make life miserable for Big Oil, is that it? Or are you just being silly?
