    So I post a source that refutes your claim and you rebut with "I heard it on a podcast"?

     

    No-one (of any repute) is saying "We'll all be dead", and it can still be a crisis, without such a doomsday prediction. The consensus is rising sea levels and more intense weather phenomena (Hurricanes, floods, wildfires) which is already happening. The "crisis" arises with people's downplaying of the gravity of the situation, which is exactly what DeGrasse-Tyson laments in the article I linked to.

    And none of the proposals to fight climate change will actually change anything.  It’s politcal pandering for votes.  If the answer doesn’t involve energy from India and China, you won’t even put a dent in the problem.   Using the term crisis, is fear mongering something the left accuses the right of doing all the time.  I’d trust words out of DeGrasse-Tyson’s actual mouth than an article from a biased CNN who panders to a specific ideology.  There was also over 500 scientists who informed the U.N. there is no crisis and yet they say it’s overwhelming that there is.

    Again the crisis is political pandering.  I’m not denying climate change, it is happening, it is mostly from human influence, their proposals won’t change a damn thing and it’s main focus is for political purposes.  Finally capitalism has the best chance at solving this problem not government forcing people to do things that won’t even dent the problem.

    He does? https://www.cnn.com/2017/09/17/us/neil-degrasse-tyson-on-climate-change-cnntv/index.html

    Yes he does, he stated in a podcast with Ben Shapiro’s Sunday special last week that in 150 years we are all still alive and the worst possible scenario ever (which he stays won’t happen) the water level will be at the left hand of the Statue of Liberty (not the one on the torch).  Sure we’ll have to rebuild ever major city but we aren’t all dead like the left wants you to believe.

    Andrew Scheer better hope he isn't elected.

     

    If he forms government, repeals the carbon tax, and then opens up a gusher of oil production... he should pray Canadians have short memories.

     

    Because in 20 years when Climate Change really impacts and the sh*tstorm hits, there will be lynch mobs looking for those climate denier dinosaurs who ruined the lives of millions.

     

     

     

    Except even Neil deGrasse Tyson says it’s not a crisis.  It’s become a political issue and what they propose to solve the problem, won’t even put a dent into it.  Come up with a better solution and we might listen.  They propose things that won’t work so they can keep campaigning on it and win over voters on something they know won’t work

    That's fair, but I'll ask a different question: Is your opinion based on the blackface thing, or is it something else?

     

    Personally, I think it's entirely possible to do something stupid 20 years ago and still feel differently about it today. For instance, 20 years ago, I was a Conservative / Social Credit voter.

    Nothing to do with blackface.  I think he was just and idiot and didn’t think.  I’m more concerned about his hand placement on that woman’s chest with his fingers open wide in a high school as a professor then him being Aladdin.  Also the hypocrit because you know if that was another leader he’d be all over it declaring racism, just like Elizabeth May and Singh did.

    That's not the point either. Your assertion that it's "the true JT" is.

     

    You've been pretty unclear about what you consider the "true" JT to be....

    I’ll answer what I think the true JT is, it’s one word. Fake.

     

    JT tries now to fix all the wrongdoings of his life by taking all his screw ups and making sure others now don’t do what he already done.

    Yes, that totally encompasses all the issues that people, from all sides of the political spectrum, have against the decision. Thanks for breaking it down so simply and succinctly. 

    If you read the media, the same media complaining about being in Syria are now criticizing him, nothing to do with the actual people.  Just like all the politicians whom supported a wall until Trump says it, now they are against it.  The media and politicians are the problem; not the people they represent.

     

    If you say say one thing then immediately turn on it when you get what you wanted just to skew the political environment, blame yourself.  Interesting how blind people are to pandering and standing behind party lines no matter what they do or say.
