RT @thegre8_1: My reaction to climate change: warmer=less clothes, colder=more clothes, rain=umbrella. NO MORE TAXES-criminal bill.

uncritical acceptance of "climate change" or passively and secretly disagreeing with it is exactly the same as allowing for facism in 1930s

"climate change" is a apolitical doctrine eading to totalitarianism, like communism and facism is based on "science" and has a "big lie"

So, apparently as global warming heats up the planet, I freeze my ass off. I really need to read up on this shit: It really has me baffled.
Vancouver Solves Global Warming - Trap and Trade | Vancouver Secrets
Now that we are the only place in North America with a carbon tax, which I think was supposed to stop global warming, Vancouver has decided to make cars slow down even more and force a commute into downtown to become more difficult.

From our Vancouver Sun:
Car commuters (of which I am often one) may prefer not to see it in such terms, but the power and sense of entitlement a car confers is a political act, especially in an age of global warming, where every car trip is an incremental crime against nature.

This is the commuter’s secret thrill — the speed and ease and selfishness of a car — because necessity very often has little to do with it.

Most people drive not because they must, since there are other ways to get around, but because they want to. The bridge doesn’t just carry traffic, it carries addicts.
The solution is to convert a grossly overloaded bridge that lead into downtown, The Burrard Bridge, into a pedestrian overpass. The bridge has 6 lanes, and they are going to convert one into a bike lane. Brilliant.
