Notes:

Climate change was first called global warming, then when the planet wasn’t warming as they thought, called climate change, but fear not we are back to Global warming. One thing is for sure the climate changes, whether humans are here or not.

From what I have researched and its extensive, I can find no definitive proof one way or the other, other than Al Gore running around his ocean front house naked with all the lights on yelling “ I am right, I am right” I also couldn’t find a soul who was for polluting the environment , not a one. I also couldn’t find anyone willing to give up his car, eating meat, his computer and vacations down south and so on. Oh and if the oceans are rising, why did Al Gore buy that beachfront house? Just an idle curiosity.

I can find about 10 maybe 20 maybe 2000 things to do right now, to clean up our local environments , without even having to think of 50 years from now. No matter the world is hotter or colder. Canada contributes 2% of all greenhouse gasses, that’s all the good and bad combined! (yes there is good pollution and bad apparently)

I know this, if you are having a heart attack, a band aid on your finger, as much as you might need one, is not the priority. So, being as environmentally friendly as we can do economically makes a lot of sense. Beyond that the juries out folks. Just beware of snake oil salesman, and remember your weatherman gets it wrong most of the time, and that’s his training. I much prefer a scientists input than a politicians and one who isn’t being paid by a politician. I am not choosing sides, I am saying, keep an open mind.

Kiss me, you know you wanna!!

Another day
Another memory fades
Le jardin que toujours existe
Has disappeared, disparu

An army of 40,000 destroyed
All that my childhood held dear
They arrive in planes and limos
Coal fired three piece suits

They lectured the poor
They sold platitudes like souvenirs
They had Trudeau promise all and yet nothing at all
They had the press, polluting just as the rest

Paris 2015
The grandest of caviar conferences
Performing Eco terrorism in front of your very eyes
You all applaud when in fact you should all cry

They will tax you until you die
As you breathe the fumes of their failures
They are the magicians of false hope
Singing to the masses of global complacency

I will not dance or sing
This clown as left the ring
The carbon you all hate keeps seeping in
The cows and goats feel is no sin !

You suggest I am wrong? Blaspheme I tell you! You suggest cows don't fart? Udder silliness!!!! Just kidding!! Great to see you! The whole point is right/wrong, we do not know, so be open to different and new data, keep an open mind, and listen to facts not sales pitches, I could argue both sides of the cow fence here! Any bovine will tell you is not black and white! ok maybe a bad example. :)

Dear Arthur This is true here also my friend, I'm sorry that they have done this to such a beautiful country, I've always wanted to go to Paris and see it for myself, but I've seen what has happened over there and want to weep for her people, for her historical mounutments, and for the country itself, it's wrong, why does mankind have to destroy what makes this planet of ours so beautiful my friend, soon what will be left for the future, maybe just some old dusty post cards, of what once was,cd

Such powerful words Arthur - 'Greenland' was obviously once 'green' I agree our world has been changing many thousands of years before climate change was even thought of . Just one thought - maybe the world leaders can hold their 'summits and meetings' over the web - and they can still spout hot air without it costing the environment and the tax payer a fortune lol Loved the bit about Gore. Not sure if I should go vegetarian then again I'd produce even more emissions lol:-) Hugs Jan xx
