It's getting warm

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.

HOW DARE YOU!
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

If these cities were built hundreds or thousand years ago do you not believe that if they are flooded that it means the climate changed?

Reading some of your posts and the job I assume you do, you have some experience in this area?

This is not a negative question or questioning your thoughts/comments, just want to hear your opinion.
FFS how many times has this guy been directly told the answer to that question!!!
Seriously - why can you not just for once, fuck off and shut up. Is your name Topper, do you always have to put your nose into something that was not directed to you. Do you feel compelled to be "something" at CC.
Topper answered your question the first couple of times.

If I recall correctly, Ratski answered it the last time.

I feel "compelled" to expose your issues for your good and the good of CanucksCorner.
Yup, it was Ratski who answered it last time:

To think our insignificant species can have a lasting effect is to be on the arrogant side of the debate.
Straw man. No-one is trying to make a lasting effect in terms of millenia. For the most part people are thinking of the immediate future, i.e. their kids and grandkids.
Princely the shortsighted arrogant belief that natural processes can be reversed in order to perpetuate a species in stasis.
The nice thing about natural processes is that they are very slow, giving mankind time to adapt. It's an acceleration of the change that we want to avoid.
Agreed 5, I even agree with Topper on some points but to blatantly say there is no climate change is the arrogant part. I guess it makes some people happy and they can go to bed at night.
Nobody is saying the climate isn’t changing... nobody!!!!

It’s WHY and how much is the debate....whoosher

Now Reef, would you kindly... FUCK OFF!!!

Reduced to a string of stagnant mustard-colored pools, fouled in places with pesticide runoff and stinking with the rotting carcasses of cattle and fish, the Darling River is running dry.

The parched earth of Australia’s longest waterway, if tributaries are included, is in the grip of the continent’s most severe drought in a century.
Drought is weighing on economic growth, and the dire conditions have prompted Australia, a major wheat exporter, to import the grain for the first time in 12 years.

Last summer was the hottest on record, and in Menindee, where temperatures regularly top 38 Celsius (100 Fahrenheit), another scorching season is expected.

Good watch - well worth the time.

Does show the sophistication of some companies to influence another country, just like in the 50's/60's with the Arrow jet and China now.

JT does not have the kahunas to fight this.
