This just in from Time magazine (a print-based weekly news magazine that people used to subscribe to): "The fact that climate change evidence that was "very likely" a few years ago has now been declared likelier still by the comprehensive Met Office report suggests that the evidence for human-caused climate change is getting better all the time."Ah yes.

I like a lot of Cameron's movies and I liked Avatar too. Something bothered me as the movie progressed though. There was a distinctly Anti-Human feel to it. It was also Anti-Western (it wasn't a Chinese invasion force) and Anti-Mining. The Anti-Mining aspect targets the Oil Sands in particular.

After watching two parts of TVO’s four-part series on climate change, I confirm that I can’t watch any more of their crap.

Oink oink!One of the more sinister aspects of the "climate change" miasma is the insistence of campaigners and governments that saving the planet requires personal sacrifice and significant changes in personal lifestyles.
