WOW did CBC ever show their nasty arse last night
Last night one of CBC's favourite Trolls was jerking the wrong old
dog's chain as I dealt with comments about my very crooked enemies
within the US Justice Dept.  I responded to folks and CBC had
published most of my replies to others but blocked my replies to the
Troll .

This morning I noticed CBC changed their mind and blocked most of my
comment so I responded and Tweeted about it before the comment
sectioned closed and I will contact the Crown Corp's lawyers AGAIN

Notice the Troll "Jay Dean" is responding to a comment that does not exist???

David Raymond Amos

@Richard Sharp I too don't believe "scaremongering" and "overheated" claims about climate change its just an excuse for more taxation. I truly believe that is just the sun going through a cycle that we can do nothing about

However mankind really does need to pay attention to important things such over fishing, deforestation and pollution etc etc etc Those are issues we must address and fix ASAP.

david mccaig

@Richard Sharp

Wonder when Richard Sharp's blog comment will disappear.

David Raymond Amos

@david mccaig "Wonder when Richard Sharp's blog comment will disappear."

Me too

However trust that CBC knows that I already save the proof it once existed as per my MO

David Raymond Amos 

@Richard Sharp For the record I agree with Ted Nordhaus Trust that I called him and left voicemail, Tweeted him, emailed him and blogged about his words as well Here is hoping he sits up and pays attention.

"Ted Nordhaus, environmental policy expert and co-chair of California-based think-tank the Breakthrough Institute, said while there are certainly global environmental issues that need to be addressed, some of the more "dystopian" forecasts often end up being "wildly inaccurate."

"I think these really overheated claims do a real disservice," he said."

James Fitzgibbon

@David Raymond Amos

I don't really disagree with the statement, which has nothing to do with, say, the IPCC or NCA4 reports on climate change, which are extremely measured. However, the guy has a BA in History and is hardly the world expert he touts himself to be. He is also out on the fringe in his opinions about the best solutions for environmental issues. Once can debate those opinions, but to suggest this is some sort of counter to AGW is just silly.

 Content disabled.

David Raymond Amos 

@James Fitzgibbon Out of the gate I must say Thanks for the decent response instead of the usual ad hominem I get within the CBC Domain.

You said "the guy has a BA in History" By the same token what made Al Gore such an authority on the subject? Everybody knows he is just anther lawyer and wealthy politician. Need I say that most folks don't believe the words of people of either profession?

FYI if you were to check my legal documnts within Scribd by some strange coincidence I sent my documents to the lawyer within Mr. Gore to his new media company at the time because it was the only address I could find for him. He got Hard Copy proving my concerns long before he produced "Inconvenient Truth". To this very day even though legions of people know what he received Gore never answered my irrefutable documents about his crooked friends on both side os the political fence. However somebody else who got the same cover letter and documents that Gore got certain did. His name is Guy Tunnell and he was the top cop in Florida where Gore lived.

Before you doubt me just Google the following words that is if CBC even allows this comment to be published.

Al Gore and the boyz Scribd David Raymond Amos

David Raymond Amos

@James Fitzgibbon I responded to you quickly sir and had to wait awhile only to discover that CBC blocked me again.

@Zoli Hartai "but, but, it has leather seats!".

Methinks it you are so concerned about Global Warming would you not rather brag of the air conditioning? At least the leather seats helped to reduce nasty bovine emissions N'esy Pas?.

Zoli Hartai

@David Raymond Amos
Leather seats are more representative of wealth and well being than air conditioning. You can always roll down the window, but you wouldn't add leather seat covers.

@Zoli Hartai Methinks both rich man and poor man would prefer air conditioning over hot leather seats in a time of Global Warming whether it be created by mankind or not.

Please don't mention that name again. It so upsets me.

@Glen Acanthus

I actually blame Al Gore for the divide on this.
This is something that BOTH sides should be working on to fix it.

Unfortunately, Al Gore made it his political crusade.
That, and right-wingers are so tribalistic, anything and anyone that's not on THEIR team is instantly "the devil", often said without hyperbole.

@Glen Acanthus
Shark is good meat hopefully with warmer water we get more shark here in NL.

David Raymond Amos

@Ed Munn (FrogLips1) Poor Newfies have to wait for the Sun God to pitch a fit in order to eat shark eh?

I have a true Maritime story for you that other folks who read the CBC comment section may enjoy as well.

A friend of mine we will call him Ol Francis caught a 20 some foot Great White in his nets in the Bay of Fundy over 30 years ago. The Department of Fisheries offered him 10 grand for it if he brought it ashore. So he did but when the Fed finally turned up in the morning wearing fancy suits, Ol Francis said who is gonna load the fish? The Feds said you are. Ol Francis got a steam on and said like Hell and a few more choice words and headed back out into the bay to continue fishing. The Feds called him on the radio asking what about the shark? Much to their chagrin Ol Francis had pitched it overboard (But not before saving its jaws) The Feds said why would a man chuck away 10 grand? Ol Francis said he had had enough of Feds taking advantage of the fishermen and that if they had come to buy a fish they should come dressed to buy a fish and not expect the fisherman to do their job for them. Any when I heard he had the jaws I went over to his place with my kid to have Ol Francis show her the jaws. While she was crawing through and I was telling her to mind the teeth, Ol Francis told me a Yankee called him and offered him 1 hundred bucks a tooth. He said his response was bring up a stack of hundred dollar bills and we will start pulling teeth.

Trust that I am not smart enough to make that story up. Need I say I am proud to be a Maritimer?

I would imagine CBC will take a hit from their base for this story. I like it, shows CBC is coming around and doing their job.

David Raymond Amos 

@Ed Munn (FrogLips1) One joke deserves another.

Question What did God tell the Newfies?

Answer Play dumb til I get back willya?

Perhaps and certain Newfie should do the same instead of making snide remarks and bragging that he loves fish cakes etc. FYI I loved running against the Newfie lawyer named Rob Moore so much in 2004 (what better name for a Newfie lawyer?) I had to do it again in 2015.

Trust that nothing has changed their puppet masters just changed their acts tis all. Methinksits so that we would keep watching the circus and be subject to more propaganda.

Ya just gotta love the circus a bad one is incredibly even more comical N'esy Pas?

@Ed Munn (FrogLips1) Hard telling not knowing for sure but I do know the lawyer Hubby Lacroix is a nervous camper these days because of a letter I got from his latest boss Minister Joly and some interesting calls lately.

 
Ed Munn (FrogLips1)

I heard left-wing folks ("There's a small percentage that loves the crisis narrative, and they just repeat it over and over to each other." ) on here a few days ago chastising Conservatives and making jokes about our lack of believe in Science. That is a completely false and insulting narrative.

Bill Nazarene

@Richard Jay

"You NEVER heard of global warming in the 1970s."

It was called 'The Greenhouse Effect' and we certainly were warned in the '70's and prior.

Science is not a tool of convenience as you would have us believe. Shame on you...

David Raymond Amos 

@Bill Nazarene Methinks the term "Inconvenient Truth" is just an expression promoted by a lawyer/politician who definitely does not walk the talk. Check out Mr Gore's lifestyle. I for one am offended that he and his wealthy pals at play as the zoom around this wonderful old world in the jets to fancy mansions while the chastise the rest us and triy to shame us into paying more taxes

I am no fan of his but at least the Trumpster chucked the Paris Deal in the Dumpster just like he promised he would. N'esy Pas?

Lawrence Aaluuluuq (RedWhite)

@David Raymond Amos

I love how Canadian Trumpeteers have to slither away by saying "I'm no Trump supporter but..."

David Raymond Amos

@Lawrence Aaluuluuq (RedWhite) Glad you liked it However if you could only read what CBC blocked within this thread you may sing a different.

Things get rough in this domain when one takes the time respond to a decent argument and tells in four paragraphs the "Inconvenient Truth" and informs folks how to Google a few words in order to verify it. Then wait quite awhile to see it blocked. Ater that I get to read another insult that took second to write when I have made it clear many times that I have no respect for Trump. Go Figure why CBC should be ashamed.

David Raymond Amos

@David Raymond Amos Excuse me the comment I was referring to is within the top thread.

David Raymond Amos

@Eugene Eklund The sun has been going through its cycles long before 1970 when the greedy Banksters etc had a look at the crybaby hippies and dreamed up another plan to have the Politicians send the Taxman after us for more more more.

In my first political speech in 2004 and through to 2015 in five elections I apologized for my generation because we had become who we once protested.

However according to CBC that never happened.

There is NO EVIDENCE that observed warming is being caused by anything other than increasing atmospheric CO2 caused by the burning of fossil fuels.

Not one, single piece of evidence.

Should we make government policy based on 'feelings' or 'facts'?

Solar activity has been relatively low during the fastest period of warming the planet has ever seen. Kinda tough to claim its the sun. In fact, that notion was dismissed long ago after multiple studies showed it to be false.

The sun has lots to do with the Earth's temperature, but not the fact that the planet is warming. Same or less energy hitting the planet. It's the greenhouse that's the difference.

@James Fitzgibbon Please excuse the small pun but there is some truth within it when I say that there are all of long gone Pharaohs and many folks alive today who disagree with your thinking about the actions of the top god of the ancient Egyptians

@James Fitzgibbon "The sun has lots to do with the Earth's temperature"

Methinks it has everything to do with it

All it would take would be a SINGLE scientific paper presenting evidence the warming is not due to human activity.

Just one.

That's all.

@Dwight Williams

Yes - that's why I was careful to use the adjective 'scientific' in front of 'paper'.

It's not science until it is published and peer reviewed.

@Stan Cox "It's not science until it is published and peer reviewed."

That is exactly how the Banksters, Taxmen and politicians control science they want you to believe. If you are not funded you are not published.

The obvious ain't rocket science to anyone with common sense, hence no need for any "scientific paper" with political spin on it for me to read. Lets check the ruins of old human settlements in the Maritimes. Hmmm Why did the Vikings manage to get around easily years ago? Why did they settle in ICEland, GREENland and northern Newfoundland and Labrador etc. Methinks it wasn't as cold as it is now N'esy Pas?

I love it...the attack of the down arrows when the alarmists get triggered....priceless!

@Glen Acanthus ."priceless!"

Its kinda of a telling thing when you go against the flow. Congrats for your free thinking about the poor state of free speech these days.

David Raymond Amos

@Melvin Leong Methinks despite your snobby insult to Mr Acanthus you nearly got the gist of it. Keep pondering I have faith the light will dawn on Marblehead this morning just like it has for eons Perhaps some will land on yours as well.

Scientists accused of scaremongering, 'overheated claims' with warning to humanity

Article ignores increasing wealth, health and well-being of human populations, some experts say

A recent warning to humanity issued by more than 15,000 scientists presents a 'doom-and-gloom scenario that just turns off about 75 per cent of people.' (NOAA)

A recent warning to humanity endorsed by thousands of scientists around the world includes "scaremongering" and "overheated" claims while ignoring much of the progress made in recent decades, some experts say.

"It concerns me that the message from science is this doom-and-gloom scenario that just turns off about 75 per cent of people," said Erle Ellis, an associate professor of geography and environmental systems at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.

'There's a small percentage that loves the crisis narrative, and they just repeat it over and over to each other.' - Erle Ellis, University of Maryland

"There's a small percentage that loves the crisis narrative, and they just repeat it over and over to each other."​

Ellis said he's "somewhat embarrassed" for his scientific colleagues who have rallied behind this warning, arguing that it mostly talks about negative trends and ignores the increasing wealth, health and well-being of human populations globally.

'A real disservice'

Ted Nordhaus, environmental policy expert and co-chair of California-based think-tank the Breakthrough Institute, said while there are certainly global environmental issues that need to be addressed, some of the more "dystopian" forecasts often end up being "wildly inaccurate."

"I think these really overheated claims do a real disservice," he said.

The dire warning, which comes 25 years after a similar missive was issued by scientists, was published in the scientific journal BioScience. Headlined "World Scientists' Warning to Humanity: A Second Notice," the article was signed by more than 15,000 scientists from 184 countries.

It paints a bleak picture of the world's current situation when it comes to freshwater availability, marine life depletion, ocean dead zones, forest loss, biodiversity destruction, climate change and continued human population growth.

"Humanity has failed to make sufficient progress in generally solving these foreseen environmental challenges — and, alarmingly, most of them are getting far worse," it states.

"Soon it will be too late to shift course away from our failing trajectory, and time is running out."

Predictions failed to materialize

When it comes to the issue of overpopulation, the article warns that humanity is putting the world at jeopardy with "our intense but geographically and demographically uneven material consumption" and by failing to recognize rapid population growth as "a primary driver behind many ecological and even societal threats."

Such predictions have been made for centuries, dating back to Robert Malthus who wrote in the 18th century about how population trends would have significant consequences on resources.

In 1968, Stanford University biologist Paul Ehrlich caused waves with the publication of The Population Bomb, which predicted that ​overpopulation would result in the starvation deaths of hundreds of millions of people. In an interview in 1979 with CBS News, Ehrlich said, "Sometime in the next 15 years, the end will come — and by 'the end,' I mean an utter breakdown of the capacity of the planet to support humanity."

But with the rise in technology, Ehrlich predictions failed to materialize, says Ellis, and instead, the opposite occurred— there's less famine now, and "pretty much every indicator of human well-being" has increased since the 1970s.

"I think the fact that those results are not presented [in the article] is a fascinating statement about the purpose of this message," Ellis said.

Meanwhile, as more people move to urban, industrial societies from agrarian societies, where people tend to have more children, human population growth is expected to peak, and likely decline at the latter half of the century, Nordhaus said.

A toll on the environment

In an interview with CBC News earlier this week, Eileen Crist, a professor at Virginia Tech's department of science and technology in society and co-author of the article, said the real issue when it comes to overpopulation is the rapid rise of the global middle class. The flip side of more people being lifted out of poverty, she said, is that it's also increasing the carbon footprint on the planet and taking a toll on the environment.

Ellis agreed that the relationship between how wealth is gained and how it affects the environment needs to continue to improve. But compared to the past, we use less carbon to generate energy and less land to generate food, he said.

"We think that's the other message that we need to have out there that people need to hear: We can do this. We can pull people out of poverty and not expand our environmental footprint," he said. "It is not easy, it is not trivial, but we can do it. We can even do it with existing technology."

For some time to come, Nordhaus said, the growth in per-capita consumption will be greater than the decline in fertility rates and the slowing in population growth.

However, in the long term, that will be moderated through technology and the more efficient ways resources are turned into goods and services.

"There is a lot of good evidence that sort of demand for all sorts of material goods saturates as populations kind of industrialize and become healthier," he said.

Joel Cohen, a Columbia University mathematical biologist and demographer researching global populations, was less critical of the report, and said it's good to draw people's attention to the issues facing the planet.

"But I think this gives ammunition to people who are opposed to doing anything about these problems because it's so scaremongering," he said.

"I'm glad they've got people talking about it.  I just hope it doesn't come back in their face."
