TLindenIsGod Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Take that ex wife! it's interesting to see how Canada has had it's coldest winter ever, there's been snow in California and crazy snowstorms on the east coast... but we only got one 5cm snowfall a month ago. Meteorological revenge is the sweetest kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baka Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Friend from New York said it's not as bad as they're saying. It's like a day in Toronto. As someone who lives in the Tri-state area I agree. This happens usually once a year here. For me it has never been worse than snowed in 1 day and/or loss of power for a day or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My lucks been coming up aces the last few years! Her home will be underwater the rate we are going. Its sad that all we have nowadays are people that yell at our leaders to bring change for us. If Edison, Einstein or Gesner(the canadian guy who discovered how to make oil) saw that they would be very disappointed. All the enviromentalists need to find that alternative source of energy instead of complaining. That is the real issue here, we all want to complain and no one wants to find that alternative source. The stuff we have right now is NOWHERE as near as good as oil. They day we find something cheaper and better than oil thats the day change will come. And no Hydrogen is not it.

Ronalds.Kenins41 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 We sure have been lucky this year. last 2 days have basically been short/hoodie or tshirt/jeans days. We are always lucky. With the exception of not having too many sunny days we are lucky in every other regard. When it snows, its barely anything. We have little to no smog because we don't have many factories here and we have kept enough trees to keep the air clean. No acid rain because of our limestone deposits in our lakes which prevent acid rain from forming in the first place. No 40 degree summers cause we are near the ocean so we stay cooler. Just awesome to be where we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronalds.Kenins41 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 All of those are awful movies. The only reason to watch them was effects, which are quickly getting dated. Like they are really really bad. Hopefully I'm too tired at work to pick up on some serious sarcasm in this thread.But the Day After Tomorrow being considered a good film is almost as bad as global warming itself. In fact that movie being considered good makes me want to increase global warming as humanity has no hope. His reasons for the movies being good are wrong but they were good. IMO anyways, but we are all different with different tastes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's like dismissing those who campaign for literacy because they aren't out there creating and implementing all the solutions to the problem. And 'environmentalists' is a pretty vague meaningless term. Just makes it easy to take the fringe of that group and dismiss all the issues cause you can dismiss the fringe.

Per capita Canada is worse. The most recent data I've seen shows Canada has fallen slightly below the USA per capita. That trend should grow as the oil industry and construction slow in Canada and the economy of the USA picks up. The numbers are pretty comparable though. Canada definitely should not be pointing fingers. Back on topic... It turns out the snow storm was pretty lame and totally within normal weather patterns.

Acid rain? Is it the 1990s again? The US has cut it's SO2 and NOx levels substantially from the 1990s. Acid rain isn't the issue it was. Also both Toronto and Montreal get regular smog warnings. Smog only accumulates in dense cities that are significant distance from the ocean (where the ocean air doesn't blow it away). You can't really just declare Americans more pollutant, because they have more big cities.. Did I miss something? I thought those posts were obviously sarcastic.... No they were real.
