#1 Canada leads the world by a long way in both per capita energy consumption and the energy intensity of its industry (energy consumed per unit of GDP), probably because it's so frickin cold.

#2 Global warming is a Canadian plot to get decent weather.

#3 The Great Green House Gas Fraud

If I had a gas guzzling SUV, I'd put a bumper sticker on it that says (something like): It's Ok that I get 5MPG - I planted some trees and only use one squre of toilet paper.

That's a bit long maybe I'd go with - This SUV is a carbon offset for Al Gore's Lear jet.

#4 I hope this demented crank runs for President. Better yet, run as the Green Party candidate.

I tend to think that the cold builds character. All environment-loving Canucks should therefore turn the thermostat down to a toasty 50 degrees Fahrenheit during the winter.

#6 Kyoto is a joke. If the Euros and Greenies were really serious, then they would would insist on using 1945 as the basis year. Nobody in Europe was complaining that Jan. 1945 was too hot. Best of all, the Germans can then live as Joseph Stalin intended for them, tending garden plots and burning dung for warmth. As a bonus, Canadians would again have a world class military.

#7 I know fraud when I see it.

#8 Germans can then live as Joseph Stalin intended for them, tending garden plots and burning dung for warmth.

Funny, one thing that stands out while biking all over the German countryside: the year-round buzz of chainsaws in the forest and endless cords of firewood stacked everywhere. I'm sure it's not intended as a rebellion against the global enviro-fascists, but I'd bet Fritz and Karl-Heinz couldn't care less about offsetting their particulate and livestock emissions.

#9 If I recall correctly, exJAG, the German forests are under severe stress, due to acid rain and suchlike. I think it's in the Black Forest that larges swathes are almost entirely standing dead trees, the still living riddled with disease and insects. Good forestry practices would call for such to be cut down and disposed of, before it all catches fire from a stray lighting bolt... and contributes greatly to global warming. Perhaps that's what you're seeing.

#10 Wow. If I cared what Al thought, this would really bother me...

Now that's bumpersticker quality.

#13 Or it's a plot by AARP to move Florida weather north.

#14 I think it's the Floridians. They are tired of Northern retires coming South. Besides, think of all the new beach-fron property in Canada. And all the beautiful Canadian women that will be able to wear Bikinis. Those wiley Canadians.

#15 How much CO2 do all those Zambonis generate? That could lead to the end of Canada as we know it!

#16 I picked up $35,000,000.00 in Carbon Offsets. You can, too, but you better hurry. (Follow the link)

Hurry, while they remain free.

#17 TW, I'm sure that goes on, but the huge logs stacked up and waiting for transport all along forest trails (pulverized to foot-thick mud by heavy haulers every spring and fall) look and smell as healthy and alive as could be.
