The Great White North
I’m on holiday this week, visiting my mother-in-law, the poet laureate of Temiskaming District. I’m also recuperating from fixing my computer, and other stuff. No, it didn’t include a hangover. I gave up drinking twenty-five years ago, and I have … Continue reading

The Great Climate Change Conspiracy
Gotta love it. There’s so much money in Climate Science, that every climate scientist in the world is willing to lie about it. In fact they are not only willing to lie, they are willing to try and mess up … Continue reading
Attack Of The Anti-Green Mutant Right Wing Computer Geek
The whole concept behind the chart is that the Queen is trying to manipulate the environmental movement to make more money. The problem is that the chart is a fake. The World Wildlife Federation running the Sierra Club? That would be like claiming that the Liberal Party of Canada is running the Conservative Party of Canada. Continue reading
Climate Change Redux
It continually amazes me how intelligent people can be fooled.
Take Climate Change. I know a lot of people who don’t believe that humans can have any effect upon climate. Others think that there’s still question about the issue. It’s not that they are stupid. It’s that there are a lot of people with a vested interest in fooling the general public, mostly because if could hurt their profits. Continue reading
The Death Of The Fossil Fuel Companys Part Deux
Back on May 30th I wrote an article titled ‘The Death Of The Fossil Fuel Companies – Sell Your Stock Now While It’s Still Worth Something’, which caused a bit of an uproar. Those who are heavily invested in Fossil Fuel company stocks were less than happy with me. Many people were still willing to listen though, in part because of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, and in part because the economics make damned good sense. So I’ve been planning a follow up, and here it is. Continue reading
The Death Of The Fossil Fuel Companies – Sell Your Stock Now While It’s Still Worth Something
So I expect this to be a real success for Nissan. While other companies are producing electric vehicles, Nissan is the only one that has long term electric vehicle experience, and a look at the Leaf shows the amount of work that they have done. This car is going to be the hottest car of 2011, with the Chevy Volt coming a close second (the Chevy Volt is a plug-in hybrid)
This car will really hit the fossil fuel companies hard. You don’t have to believe in Climate Change to see the advantages of a Leaf. The monetary savings are real, and huge. Nissan has hit a home run with it. The Premier of Ontario wants 5% of cars in Ontario to be electric by 2020. I’m going to go out on a limb and predict that nearly 50% of cars will be electric by 2020. Yes, I expect electric car adoption to occur that quickly.
Oh, and as for Prime Minister Harper, and his government’s support of the Oil Sands project? He’s just wasted a whole pile of taxpayers money for nothing.

Digital Right Management and/or Technical Protection Measures Cause Climate Change
The biggest problem with Digital Rights Management and/or Technical Protection Measures is that the biggest proponents of such schemes don’t understand the technology. For that reason I’m going to try to explain it in simple terms, that a non-programmer can … Continue reading
Spring in Canada – Climate Change has it’s Advantages – or Maybe Not
Climate Change is real folks. And for those who think it isn’t, consider how much money you can save by not buying gasoline, especially when speculators are driving the price of oil. Continue reading
Should Stephen Harper be Considered a Traitor?
This is a really messy question. Specifically the question came up in regards to the Harper government’s Climate Change policies, or lack thereof. Is an action that damages the country and the citizens of the country, treason? Technically no. If … Continue reading
Astroturf in the Climate Change discussion
Now I mostly write about computer related issues. What most people don’t know is that I spent 10 years working in the environmental industry, in regular contact with the Environmental Protection Agency, the California Air Resources Board, and Environment Canada. … Continue reading
