Now that we’ve had to accept Global Warming as a reality, perhaps the Provincial Government might want to adjust the opening and closing days for the Parks so we can enjoy them longer? The “OLD” ways of doing it by a set date must have been set in Noah’s day as the tides receded.

This is a major bummer as I’ve been getting the itch for some spring-time car-camping. I mean if the city was willing to open the oh-so-sacred Public Gardens early this year, surely the province can follow suit?
I’m NOT accepting global warming as a reality at all.
To what extent do you not believe that global warming is not a reality martym?
Point is, open up the frickin’ parks. Camping time!
I believe were in a warming cycle right now; part of the ongoing warming an d cooling cycles that have been going on since the dawn of earth and nothing to do with man’s carbon footprint whatever bullshit the enviro mentals have cooked up
I just want fries with that…..
i think global warming has yet to be proven, which is why it is still referred to as a THEORY. it may forever remain so. to point to the warm weather this time of year as a sure sign is silly. we had a fair accumulation of snow last week. snowfall records were broken all across the eastern seaboard of the US. florida recorded some of its lowest average weekly temperatures in history as did several areas in asia. many parts of europe were buried in snow this past winter.
im not using this as proof positive that “global climate change” (the newly minted replacement term for global warming) isnt happening. so please people, dont feel the warmth of an april day and cry that the sky is falling.
The volcanic eruption in Iceland just zeroed out any “Global Warming”.
fuck global bullshit and warming/cooling whatever.the reason the parks aren’t open any earlier is very simple,dealers and robbers don’t like the cold. and the cops don’t either, that’s why they open them later.you wouldn’t wanna go for a walk in park, with snow up to your pits, would you?
global warming is a natural process.look at the history of the climate it is constantly changing, warming and cooling.these people talk as if we are the cause.which is bullshit.stop listening to those money hungry (donations)environmental groups.they will all fade away when people realize their fear mongering lies.
but of course parasites that reproduce unchecked by natural predators or disease can dig into the earth and burn all they find there to expect no CO2 related consequences… none that haven’t happened here on earth before. So what if conditions will eventually WIPE OUT OUR SPECIES and about a zillion others as the oceans turns to poison? What’s a few BILLION tailpipes adding to the emissions when a monster volcano puts them all to shame? Let it come to the bitches. Do nothing. Bring it on. Sure. Why not make the leap and say “global warming” is a concoction of your government designed to make you somehow spend money because you KNOW somewhere in the world today it snowed so it must be a sham. They can’t take us for stupid! Nope… snowing at the poles is over-rated anyway. Oh oh.. I know.. the GREEN TAX! That’s what’s in it for government so forget world renowned scientists and all their “just theories” (coupled with trend analyses of REAL atmospheric samples). Yeah, global warming and the concept of it is a TRICK! How does that one grab you bitches? Any believers?
SOMETHING is happening. Don’t be stupid.
It really is sad how some people automatically believe what they see on tv and read in the newspaper, or posted by some online blogger. We all know if it’s on the telly it must be true. Not that I put much stock in these things, but if you were to look up one of your stats proving global warming Kay, you could find an exact opposite stat disproving it.
I don’t think many question we are impacting the earth. The debate is to what degree. Chicken Littles like yourself Kay will say that Halifax will be underwater in 10 years and coconut trees will be growing in Manitoba. Look in things such as the urban heat sink effect. It may open your eyes.
and the MATH behind carbon emissions is…. what, john? An invention of Hollywood? A worldwide conspiracy among scientists?
all seem to be okay with the fact that a monster 32k cycle happens to the earth but do any stop to realize that mass extinction comes all with all that? No need to hasten the process or, if you will, not “treat the fever”. I hope people look at the data, put their eyes back into their heads then vamp up off-world living programs that have yet to be a gov’t-think-tank’s idea but should have been the idea behind technological development all along… we GOTTA get outta here!
I find it very depressing to be agreeing with Kay. Something is happening. That might be man-made global warming or it might be a natural cycle. It seems to me, to err on the side of caution, that humans should at least try to act more “green”, just in case. To avoid accidentally destroying the earth. Besides, pollution can’t be good for people one would think anyways.
Well shit, I typed out this long comment, I usually prefer to be short-winded and it disappeared into an electronic void.
It only seems to happen when I edit my comment before I send it. I used to paste them somewhere just in case but forget.
What a pain.
There you have it ladies and gentlemen. Kay at her naked core.
She also believes that humanity is an infestation upon the bosom of mother Earth. A core tenet of Gaia worship, the new global religion.
If you believe that humans should never have arisen, what does that say about you?
Did you even get a whiff of climategate? To pass that off as being little more than an email suggesting a ‘trick’ to help preserve the sanctity of their ‘hockey stick’ is akin to fixating on a mote of dust in an otherwise empty warehouse. The story broke 6 months ago and is still breaking. There’s a whole gauntlet of gates now.
What creates skeptics is the politics of climate change,
not the fact we should clean up our mess.
I also wonder where you get your news from. Either the wool it thick with you or you’re complicit.
Great, now she’s a kayspiracy theorist.
As shrike alluded to Kay(chicken little), this precious data you speak of is suspect. This is because in recent weeks and months there is evidence that the data has been corrupted, inflated, overstated and is blatantly incorrect. Do you not realize there are massive amounts of money to be made by corporations in this new “green” economy. can you not see the forest for the trees? Why not just for once form an opinion based on all material available.
to all those who bad mouth skeptics, if it were not for them, the universe would still be orbiting our flat earth. I’m not saying conservation isn’t necessary. what I am saying is let’s look at the possibilty that what we are told by special interest groups needs to be examined vigorously.
here is some data for you to look at kay.this data is also accepted by our great guardians green peace blah
http://www.geocraft.com/WVFossils/greenhouse_data…
HAS NOBODY NOTICED THE NORTH POLE ICE IS NEARLY GONE? Within a YOUR lifetime which, in geological or astrological terms is an INSTANT! When 2 degrees is the difference between life and death I would think a concerted effort to manage the 5% we might control is quite appropriate, even too little too late. Just because the earth is constantly “belching” doesn’t mean you should.
Even if you don’t buy into the whole global warming thing can you not see how this sort of thinking leads to a more efficient, innovative and responsible mankind? We’re entering a space age that will include taking our shit… our culture, our lifestyle, our beliefs, our “disease” to other worlds. Global warming needed to enter the brains of man for man to get a fucking clue. Try it.
Sheesh, it was me that posted this with a simple question, can we get the provincial parks opened earlier?
I didn’t want a diatribe for and against GW – I just want to get to Graves Island and a few other parks a little earlier as the weather is nice.
And i also wanted to be able to sit on a bench by Bill the Spud and enjoy my fries and malt vinegar without noise pollution by bongo boy and the banjo skanks.
Good luck with getting rid of the busker nonsense by Churchill’s statue there. I’d prefer not to see Ras Trent and his flaming sticks too, but no dice.
sixxes, I’ll go ya one better…
http://www.miamiherald.com/2010/04/22/1593…
actually kay, since you bring up the topic of arctic ice….the northern sea ice has reached the highest levels scientists have seen in decades just this past march. theres a clue for you.
Oh kay, “The sky is falling, the sky is falling”.
I love when kay pretends to sound and appear smart. Her siblings are probably doctors, lawyers, phds, and very successful business people. Meanwhile all kay can do is post crap online and run her avon/mary kay account.
NGF you forgot about her Prince Charming, Desi.
Oh you know Desi orders lipstick and kay’s his Avon rep.
kay, you referenced a newspaper article and i referenced a scientific study with plenty of references.what paper is more telling kay.i hope you pick the scientific study over the newspaper article.
sixxes, she quotes nicolas cage and thinks her opinion is more valid than scientific fact. good look.
sixxes, read even the first 2 lines of the article I posted and you’d see…”National Research Council STUDY released Thursday…” The NRC isn’t some obscure council of wannabe’s.
fat, you’ve got some serious problems if you think your unrelenting stalking of me is going to pay off in some grand way. Just fuck off already. You’re like a little dog whose never been kicked hard enough for biting when the people walk by. Somebody should tighten your leash and shorten your chain… I mean it! Have a funky weekend, creep.
Stalking? Hahahaha.
Like how you stalk Oceanlady? You’re long overdue for growing up, kay. I feel bad for your son … well, not really.
Everyone here knows you don’t feel a fucking thing for anybody but your fat self.
oh, and about victim, I’m nearly positive she’s a person I know and there’s nothing more entertaining than fucking with her because if she is who I think she is, she’s totally got it coming, it’s too little too late and she fucking knows it. If victim is not that person she’s a person just like her and STILL has it coming so, whatever. I’ve never done a fucking thing to you and neither has my kid, fat. Don’t you play my victim too. It’s quite unbecoming.
kay it is a newspaper article with no references.it is a reporters interpretation with no data attached, and we all know how acurate reporters are.the website i posted is the actual study, a copy of the original.not some interpretation of the reporters beliefs.come on kay tell me you see the difference between a scientific study and a newspaper article left to the reporters interpretation.
Sixxes, do yourself a favour and don’t even bother trying to reason with the insane. How delusional does one have to be to even begin to imagine they know someone’s actual identity on an anonymous website? Pathetic really.
For the record, I don’t know or want to know anyone like the idiotic and crazy victimizer who thinks they know me lest I become fouled with the fetid bullshit that constantly emanates. This blithering psychopath once said she was going to walk by the person she imagines I am and wink at her to prove her point. Way to make a complete fool of yourself to an absolute stranger who is not me. How fucking insane does a person have to be to even do something like that? Seriously. To quote a former co-worker…’Pity the fool!’
You didn’t answer my question and neither did john… have you not noticed the pole ice disappearing? Our up-north Canadian friends have noticed as have the polar bears. Our down-south penguin friends have noticed. Can’t you see?
“The National Research Council report, requested by Congress, said carbon dioxide emissions were increasing so rapidly that natural processes in the sea that maintained pH levels couldn’t keep up. PH is a scale used to measure acid or alkaline levels, with 7 being neutral. The average pH of ocean surface waters has moved from 8.2 to 8.1 and while that not might seem a lot, scientists are concerned”
sixxes…sure SOUNDS like a journalist’s biased “interpretation” of this study. NOT
When words like “The council said the oceans were 30 percent more acidic than they were before the Industrial Revolution…” and you question the statement because it’s a reputable newspaper repeating the information… makes you STUPID. Why don’t you go look up the study itself since you doubt what counsel members said about its conclusion?
sixxes, I can’t help you. You see what you want to see and the facts mean nothing to you. You’re the WORST kind of conspiracy theorist there is. In the old days you’d be the one standing on the shore shaking your head thinking Columbus an idiot because everybody knows the earth is flat. Fool.
“victimizer” HAHAHAHAHAHA That’s funny! Victim, who are you talking about because NEVER have I “once said [I] was going to walk by the person [I] imagine [you are] and wink at [you] to prove [my] point”
That’s some imagination you got there… almost as good as my own!
you did kay, i don’t forget anything
Thank you girl of pain. I don’t forget anything either. Especially something as ludicrous as that! I can only imagine how the poor winkee felt with some pathetic mad-woman walking by repeatedly giving her the winking stink-eye. It’s almost as funny as the puppet bitch but in a pathetic-loser kinda way, whereas the puppet bitch was actually brilliant!
please do provide a quote of both date and time to your fiction… have fun with that because it isn’t there. I didn’t say it. I wouldn’t wink at victim. I’d head butt her into next week given the chance… I learned that from Nova Scotians. I’m really good at it now;)
i’m not a nova scotian, i’m a stupid bitch from upper canada
Kay, Oceanlady has it coming maybe as much as you have it coming. And man-oh-man have YOU got it coming. But instead you’ll play victim and claim that Nova Scotians conspire against you and all that inane crap that makes you believe you’re an Internet store.
Your kid should be in protective services instead of living with a hag like you. Hopefully you’ll entertain a bottle of vodka and jar of pain killers someday. It’ll be the smartest thing you’ve ever done.
And you don’t speak for anybody – since nobody here even likes you.
It doesn’t matter to me if a bunch of avatars and screen names dislike me. Now go back to your box of wine and cry over how the Internet conspires against you with Nova Scotians and Barack Obama supporters.
kay i read your refernce.did you read mine.if so what do you think.why would you not give me the website to the actual paper.you are the stupid one to follow ones opinion.me i follow science.you seem to to be a non critical thinking follower.listening to others opinion.kay if you actually followed the science you would not be making 3/4 of the statements you make.read the study i sent you.gooddamn fool.people like you are the reason that that whole environmental/political movementmovemnet is looked down on by the informed
kay you are the type of person who becomes very passionate and wrapped up in their cause.you lose the ability to look at what you are saying from outside the box.you would be the person on a council deciding to burn someone at the stake for withcraft,you would condemn them all to burning.you would not follow evidence only your personal belief.which makes you a fool and a dangerouse fool if you ever got into a position of power.
yes and I suppose the court is also made up of stupid, foolish people taking the NRC’s “word” on the conclusions to their study as presented in court. OMFG How DAFT can you be? and really, what do you know about the kind of person I am, sixxies? Really!?! Your diatribe is a simpleton’s work of fiction. The person you describe in the post above is only yourself, or maybe even your parents. witchcraft… pffft. Keep smokin’ those reefers, sixxies. Suits ya. Even looking through the smoke you should be able to notice ice at the poles disappearing or is that a “matter of opinion” too? You MUST be high. Smoke on, loser.
You ruined it, kay.
Yo Fat !!! You nailed it !!
i do not smoke anything.and yes you are to eager to carry a causes flag.so please conitnue to be the sheep you are.leaders need sheep such as yourself.easy to manipulate and are fools due to the lack of critical thinking you exhibit.
you still gave me no refernce to the actual study,just a reporters interpritation of it.unlike yourself i would rather read the actual scientific study then some reporter who has deadlines and probably no science background you fucking idiot.stop talking shit you miss informed retard,yapping out simple sound bites that you probably got off muchmusic you fucking idiot.
you are probably not educated enough to understand the value of the scientific method dumb ass.look in the mirror deep in your own eyes and ask yourself how well do you really know what you are standing up for.not very much you sound bite.
i have never been to the poles have you.and so fucking what if they are melting.who the fuck are you to conclude it is mans fault you arrogant presumptious bitch.you who does not even know what the scientific method is,meaning you no shit all except what your told to think, by reporters of all people.
also is the NRC that you hold up so highly the only refernce you look at you uneducated whore.are they the definitive voice of science.give me the goddamn reference to the actually study you retard or shut the fuck up.goddamn idiot.
i will make my own mind up from what i read from the study you fucking cow.unlike yourself people like to getthe facts before they yap like a fucking poddle you worthless hag.
the bullshit causes you stand up for,such as beggers,truely demonstrates that you,needing to seem like a hero and being seen as one, are deficient and are probably taking some sort of medication or should be because you kay, you are one stupid human being who is constantly getting laughed at in front of your face by strangers and behind your back by your so called friends.
clown
done ,you are an idiot,a mentally retarded child of 2 yrs has more insight then a bloated, inflated pig such as yourself
right on sixxes the thing is it’s all so easy and cool to join the let’s save the world from the bad bad corp.s that are raping mother nature and killing our children and blah blah blah i read it in a respected rag blah blah blah; don’t you get it it’s easy to swim with the rest of the fish because THAT”S THE WAY THEY PLANNED IT YOU FUCKING MORONS!
Didn’t Al Gore, a few years back buy a property on the San Fransisco waterfront?
He doesn’t believe his own rhetoric and laughs lavishly at those who do.
Whore? WHORE? I’m SO FAR from being THAT, sixxies, I’m sure you couldn’t relate. This thread has degenerated into talks about climate change, not your weird fantasies. PLEASE fuck off now.
wow… that hardly ever works! hehe
