An inconvenient web poll (from CTV.ca)

Er, sorry Dr. Suzuki.

Happy Earth Day!

"The IPCC has used models to predict the future that cannot explain the past. They have ignored evidence that conclusively refutes their hypothesis. And, though the community of scientists in the field of climatology has largely abandoned the global warming paradigm, the IPCC has not."

From Schlueterica, an essay about the IPCC's methods. Still valid today.

Another evil Zionist plot no doubt

Widespread panic over mobile phone death threat.

Scratch a Greenie, find a Truther

While the Conservatives move further toward the centre, the others have decided to start occupying the lunatic fringe. From todays National Post:

A federal Green party candidate in Vancouver-Kingsway is standing behind a controversial editorial he wrote more than four years ago in which he describes the falling of the World Trade Center twin towers as "beautiful."

The editorial, entitled, A Revolting Confession, was first published on Nov. 28, 2002 in an alternative newspaper, The Republic of East Vancouver, which Kevin Potvin founded.

"When I saw the first tower cascade down into that enormous plume of dust and paper, there was a little voice inside me that said, 'Yeah!' When the second tower came down the same way, that little voice said, 'Beautiful!' When the visage of the Pentagon appeared on the TV with a gaping and smoking hole in its side, that little voice had nearly taken me over, and I felt an urge to pump my fist in the air," Mr. Potvin wrote in the editorial...

...He continued: "I know lots of people were killed. But then again, I see lots of people getting killed whenever I turn the TV news on, and frankly, it doesn't really get to me any more....

Perhaps the jihadis should start attacking trees, THAT would get Mr. Potvin's attention! Here comes the Truther part.

Mr. Potvin said in a telephone interview last night that he is now skeptical that the events of 9/11 were entirely the work of terrorists.
"I have no idea what happened on that day, but it's certainly not the story that Washington propagates."

So, let's see if I can understand this... Mr. Potvin is gleeful that the terrorists attacked the USA, but hey, you know, the terrorists didn't really attack the USA. But wait! Shouldn't Mr. Potvin now be upset that Bushco's dastardly plan to attack the USA went off without a hitch??

My head hurts
