Environmentalists chopping their birthrate would guarantee Earth's eventually destruction, since it would lead to a majority of people who can't grasp the fact that we will have nothing if our environment is destroyed. Where do we go if we let the oil and coal society pollute all the clean air and water?

Ice is much denser than water, you say? Is that why ice floats on water? You have shot your silly arguments in the head.

The fossil fuel czars have huge amounts of money to buy pseudo-scientists and fools to parrot this denial nonsense, because they believe that's cheaper than operating responsibly. Don't listen to them. Our governments make no real effort to represent their constituents; Harper and Prentice act for their friends in industry. Don't listen to them and don't vote for them.

In the right-of-centre Globe & Mail recently, columnist Jeffrey Simpson wrote: "Far offstage, a shrill chorus of climate-change deniers keeps up its noise, but no government in the world takes notice of them, to their furious consternation." Aside from the convenient untruth of the cherry-picked Emails incident, the deniers (many of them backed by the oil and coal interests) resort to simply contradicting what science says by repeating lies, over and over.

No, I mean "the first decade of this century is by far the warmest ever recorded." I saw no sense in excluding records that do not exist, even if that is one of your ploys.

There's a trend toward realism and support for proposition 1 showing up now. Maybe the deniers are down for their naps, leaving some room for those who believe science has provided a solid base for accepting global warming and man's significant role in it, and for actually DOING something to combat it.

Why on earth are so many supporting the fossil fuel giants' campaign to keep the status quo that has made them enormously rich while poisoning the planet? You cannot argue with the records of the World Meteorological Organization (backed by NASA and National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration) showing that the first decade of this century is by far the warmest ever recorded.
