I would like to be on the other side of that kitchen (?) table and enjoying a cup of coffee with you. Would like to talk about these things like left and right. I would be so much in agreement with you about the big pickup trucks. The older I get, the harder it is for me to understand governments, and that includes both sides, left and right. Another fine post here, Red. Hope you're having a good week.John's Islandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03618219887687125402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688207620251526295.post-2160606653919160162017-01-10T07:31:22.020-07:002017-01-10T07:31:22.020-07:00Yes, Red, I understand that, however, people out t...Yes, Red, I understand that, however, people out this way tend to be worried more and trying harder to make a difference.

From what I understand a lot of it comes from air travel, which I feel guilty about because I do quite a bit of it. But I don't have a car, so there's that. It's certainly incumbent on all of us to lessen our impact as much as possible.<br /><br />I smiled at your columnist's dismissal of those who worry about climate change as "people who use big words." We're at such a weird time in our history. Americans and Canadians used to aspire to learn more and become better educated.

Because somebody is checking stuff, right? Wrong. Now I know better.

Newspapers are supposed to be better than that.jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688207620251526295.post-48375019662485216302017-01-09T11:15:55.775-07:002017-01-09T11:15:55.775-07:00I find the debate over climate change to be ridicu...I find the debate over climate change to be ridiculous. Yes, climate runs in cycles and the Earth has heated up and cooled down before, but now we can measure the crap we're putting into our atmosphere and scientists can measure the effect this is having on our climate. Jobs won't mean much if the time comes when we can't breath, and don't forget that 75 percent of the human population lives within a few miles of the ocean, and oceans are rising at an alarming rate.stephen Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659054447637207734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688207620251526295.post-1963735263176411812017-01-09T09:04:31.961-07:002017-01-09T09:04:31.961-07:00It's not quite as bad here as it is in the Sta...It's not quite as bad here as it is in the States about that left-right tension, but there are times when you see comments from people- such as that columnist- that just make you shake your head.William Kendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00331324250821836822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688207620251526295.post-40773642829957216642017-01-09T08:18:56.456-07:002017-01-09T08:18:56.456-07:00USA and Canada have done well to what they used to...USA and Canada have done well to what they used to spread in the air.
