The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.
I'm neither on nor off the climate change, humans are damaging the world wagon and I certainly dont need some uppity teenager telling me what is and isn't.
I spend no time thinking or worrying about it (which is pretty clear by the vehicle I get around in daily).
As is plain to see by my occasional vehement diatribe offerings I have other concerns with respect to our planet which have nothing to do with the weather, or the Earth itself for that matter.
Mother Nature and the planet are going to sort their own shit out either way.
Reminds me of when Leo DeCaprio was filming "The Revenant" in Alberta a few years back. He said he witnessed climate change first hand in Alberta. What he experienced was a regular Chinook which can raise the air temperature from -25 deg C to +5 deg C in a matter of a couple of hours. He thought it was due to climate change
BTW - Chinooks are what make winters bearable in Alberta. You get a couple of cold weeks and then a nice break with temperatures above freezing for anywhere from a couple of days to a week, before it gets cold again for a couple of weeks.

Several years ago, Leo showed up in Belize, bought and promised a state of the art eco friendly resort island.$1.75mil purchase price and the promise of jobs and tax revenue seduced the government and many locals. Never been built partly because environmental groups say it will destroy mangrove and fish breeding grounds.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.
I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

And yes Donny, snot nosed kids who don't know the difference between weather and climate can stick it where the sun doesn't shine.

If anything us pumping a shit ton of co2 into the atmosphere could help stabilize some of the cooling effect from the solar changes. Historically speaking we’ve had waay higher co2 levels in this planets past, and during those times we had abundance of plant growth, the idea that carbon is evil has got to be one of the dumbest ideas humans have come up with, we’re goddamn carbon based life forms!!

Carbon is not evil per se, but if we keep releasing millions of years worth of CO2 in the atmosphere in mere decades, it can destabilize the climate we’re adapted to. Yes, CO2 levels have been higher, but that’s like hundreds of millions years ago, and back then there were no mammals, or at least no mammals bigger than a rat.
We’re not going to destroy the planet, the planet will be fine. It may just become unsuitable for mammals (and many other species, like corals and frogs, etc). But there will certainly be lots of plants and maybe there could be a comeback for dinosaur-like animals. The birds are the last surviving dinosaurs, maybe they can do a sort of back-to-the-future evolution/devolution and reclaim the planet?

I was a part of COP21 in Paris*, even that was too late.
Extreme weather, wild fires, droughts, heatwaves is here to stay my friends.
