    No. It shows that they want to regulate the economy and this is a nice excuse to do it.

    In any case, I see no reason to believe that global warming will be more harmful then helpful, and I can guarantee that anything we can do to prevent it will be worse than the problem itself. Sit back and relax and enjoy Canada not having ****ty weather anymore.

    The supposed crucial threshold for CO2 concentration, I think it's about 300 ppm, was reached in 1911, 102 years ago. The last time before then that CO2 concentrations were that high, most of Florida was underwater. CO2's atmospheric residence time is long enough that even if all of the world's power plants and cars and whatever magically disappeared into the ether that still wouldn't solve the problem because were are long long past the point of no return.

    But that's fine, because having a northwest passage ****ing owns and jesus christ it's winter in Rochester now, we had our first snow earlier this week and I would kill for the weather to be 10-15 degrees warmer (though even with global warming that probably won't happen).

    • But I'M going to get ****tier weather. We've already started having a discernable difference between summer and winter, which we never used to.

        So let's just keep making the problem even worse without any restraint on our activities!

        • So what, it rains slightly less in one of them? Honestly English weather is a lost cause already.

          Also England is super far north, if you can't tell the difference between summer and winter when the sun sets at ****ing 4pm then I don't know what to tell you.

            • We've started having sun in the summer and snow in the winter. It's ****ing appalling. Bring back constant drizzle.

                • I hope we're past the point of no return. Geoengineering is so much more exciting than reducing our carbon footprint or whatever it is Gorebama wants me to do.

                  • I'm going to try something new. Instead of taking the easy route and insulting England whenever I have the opportunity, I'm going to say something nice

                    I recently learned that England has a law that says commercials on TV cannot exceed 12 minutes of every hour. Meanwhile, in America, commercials often exceed 20 minutes of every hour.

                    England
                    To us, it is the BEAST.

                      we have to have clothes for summer, winter and constant drizzle. My clothes budget has tripled.

                          It's only 12 minutes because they very recently relaxed the restrictions.

                          And that's only for some channels, others have limits of 9 or 7 minutes per hour, depending on channel and time.

                                Not really, but we do have commercial compilation shows that show commercials with boobs from around the world.
