    All they need are a bunch of belching cows..

    UNH scientists get $700,000 to study cow burps . . . and more

    Don’t worry too much about this article. It’s from the paper we know locally as the Toronto ‘Red’ Star! Toronto itself just elected a right-wing mayor who undoubtedly will want nothing to do with the global warming BS! We’ll also be turfing our Liberal provincial government next year as people wake up to the realiziation that hare-brained ‘green energy’ schemes are only serving to raise electricity prices significantly and spoil our pristine countryside views. At the federal level, expect the status quo as the Conservatives continue to lead in the polls. No news on the climate change front is good news given the alternative! However, we’re hoping the US Congress can help us out in the longer term through initiation of proper inquiries into the fraud!

    The previous government who signed onto Kyoto made no attempts to actually move on its requirements. The P.M. at the time probably signed on because it was the thing to do , actually enforcing the protocal would cause massive dissruptions to the level of comfort most Canadians expect to enjoy, and in fact have earned.

    The current government is in all likelyhood not going to do much on the file either. A minority government will not rock the boat much and causing an increase in the cost of living of the order of magnitude that the Kyoto accords will cause is a non starter.

    The patently unfair requirements of Kyoto’s restrictions which punish North America to the benefit of most of the rest of the world is also a hard pill to swallow. If the restrictions had been globally based there may have been some hope it would be brought into effect, but with some of the largerst emitters of carbon byproducts exempted from restrictions it is not going to happen.
    The recent emails releases from the CRU and reexamined science has cast some doubt on the quality of the science that global warming is based on.
    And finally the recent elections in the States, the Ontario municiple elections ( town councils, mayor etc) have shown an impatience with the current crop of elected officials of all political stripes. Basically people are pissed and for good reason, politicians are not going to rock any boats for the forseable future.

    Mr Prentices resignation could have been for any number of reasons, a very good private sector opportunity, irritation with the PMO, no action on the climate file, any number or a combination of these factors or even just a wish for a change in scenery woulds have done the trick for him. The fact he was the environment minister was probably incidental to his resignation, it would probably have happened regardless of the portfolio he held.

    A few months ago, I inquired of both the Auditor General and Environment Canada as to the amounts budgeted for global warming programs, studies, tests etc.

    I was informed by both that the amount was exactly $ 0.00.

    Sometimes, the lethargy of government is a good thing. My tax-depleted wallet is thankful.

    WOW. They are calculating (predicting) next weeks temperature anomaly based on CRU monthly climatology which is in turn based on a club- like statistical process using data from now closed weather stations and comparing this to a small sub-set of weather stations hand picked by ………………

    And I would ask, “What is their success rate in getting this prediction correct?” How do they measure `correctness’ vs chance?
    Also, at this time of the year, how difficult is it to `predict’ the temperature at the north pole to be within their 10 degree classification windows? Do you need a coputer and a cutting edge program, or could aany grade 5 student look at a plot of average temp at the pole for this time of year and come up with a guess that will be +/- 5 degrees with a 85% confidence?
