I have a problem with this concept, even within the context of humor.Just for the record, it was a joke. Obviously, buying a second and third car to pump greenhouse gas into the atmosphere during the winter is not something I would actually do. I own one car that rarely comes out of underground garage at my condo. I live & work downtown (out of my home office) and walk or take the subway most places. People laugh at me when I tell them how few kilometers I put on my car each year. My usage pattern doesn't change much in the winter. Again, it was a joke. I do think that, while the science may not be 100% of what we would like it to be, there is enough evidence to justify being concerned about global warming and its possible effects. That having been said, I am thinking of developing a beach front hotel in Tuktoyaktuk (it's in the extreme north of Canada's Northwest Territories mainland). Yes, I am kidding about that too.
It is said that the size and duration of Atlantic hurricanes has been the direct result of global warming.It is often forgotten that the act of speaking does not in any way imply truth. One would stand a better chance of selling me an old Radio Shack computer than to make me believe this, regardless of the source.
Global warming is a real, noticeable phenomenon. Not to care about it for the sake of personal comfort is distressingOK, I admit it's real, and I can notice it. Generally, it's really hot in the summer and really cold in the winter. And I care. Now what? As I understand it, my next act as a decent caring citizen is to refrain from mowing my lawn, watering my lawn, grilling out, flushing my toilet, driving a decent vehicle, taking trips, generating garbage, and all-around good living. Then, as a final act of support, I am to quietly bend over in the opposite direction of Washington DC and the UN building in New York, and take it like the good citizen I am. If I may use the famous quote: "I don't think so Tim" P.S. I did enjoy the article
P.S. I did enjoy the articleThanks! As to the whole global warming thing, I'm in no way an expert on the topic, so I'll leave it to the experts posting here to carry the discussion forward if they feel the need to.
Joel, don't tell me you don't watch Corner Gas. Downtown Toronto has the highest per capita viewership of Corner Gas in all of Canada.Sorry Hans, but no, I don't watch Corner Gas. Since Seinfeld went off the air, just about the only time I turn on the television, other than to watch a Marx Brothers or Woody Allen DVD, is when there is a major ongoing news story and then I usually watch CBC Newsworld or CNN.
