You really are an idiot, go "idle no more" or get your facts straight. About 0.15 per cent of global GHG emissions comes from oil sands development. Hardly the epicentre of global warming you idiot.

Where I live in Canada a septic field cost 45, 000 min and a well is 25, 000 an power hookup is 25, 000 to 50, 000. Then you still have to build the house .

Galileo is a good example of how peer review works (you know your buddy agreeing with you). 97% percent of scientists called Galileo a heretic and a denier of flat earth.
In the modern day we have liars like Dr James Hanson for example, but most of the nonsense spewed about global warming is coming from politicians and celebrities who are considered climate scientists by idiots like you.

Funny but no the children are not huge but hockey bags are. And we need 4x4 in the winter, lots of snow. Damn it now I got that stupid song in my head and thinking of Chevys.

Explorer weighs 2 tons my F150 weighs 2200 lb. And a full sized truck that gets 20mpg is good fuel economy for a work truck usually carring 1, 000 lb. Example of another full sized truck from 87 that has better fuel economy?

Idiots should keep their mouths shut so no one knows how stupid they are. An F-150 in a 1/2 ton truck, mine averages 20mpg. An Explorer is a 1/4 ton truck,and what do you suggest to drop three kids off at school, a Smart car? Let me guess an enviro nutjob like yourself believes in sending perfectly good vehicles to the wreckers because they are last years model and not cool enough. Who cares about the C02 emissions from the manufacture of new vehicles.

My daily driver is an 87 F-150 I6 4speed, slow but fuel efficient and can haul a heavy load (my work truck). My wife drives a 96 Explorer, her commute is less than 5 minutes between work and dropping kids off at school. We share a 97 Dodge neon for highway trips, gets 40 MPG with some mods and cheap on parts if your somewhat of a mechanic. Then there is the big work truck a 2006 Dodge 1 ton diesel hardly get used at all unless I need to use the big trailer. None of my vehicles have rust or any body damage, look nice and meet all emission regulations. Old vehicles are very much alive for 20 years if you treat them well and people like me enjoy swapping a motor or tranny on a Sunday afternoon.

Crimea is "net big gain for Russia"...." If anything, Russia has to subsidize Crimea and other annexed regions big time. There is no money to be made in Ukraine."......make up your mind, idiot.

The grandson of Joseph Stalin wants a criminal case to be opened against Ukrainian investigators of the 1930s mass famine. Last week a Ukrainian court put the blame for the famine on Stalin and several other officials. Evgeny Dzhugashvili believes the sentence is libelous and wants the agents of the Ukrainian Security Service involved in the case as well as the judges who reviewed it to be punished for the decision, he told the Ukrainian newspaper Sevodnya. http://rt.com/news/stalins-gra...

Vlad, good Ukrainian name there. Or does it have more of a Russian feel to it? And especially how you forgot about the three year occupation. Vlad the German just doesn't make sense.

You are an idiot. There is no pro-Russian half there is a pro Russian minority. Alex Jones and his like are spewing the same crap you are. Are you a 9/11 truther as well?

Northern climate if you can't farm or graze or drill oil the land is useless. It's to cold to do anything else up here. But we do have a very rapid growing season (4 months of sunlight 18 hours a day) and billions of ares of grassy leafy things that go to waste every year.

Different part of the world but I get your point. I personally believe food animals and fish should be grown in more northern climates. Colder temperatures mean less parasites and sickness and firmer better marbled meat in my opinion (mind you it does suck to live up here). I live on the edge of the boreal forest, lots of steep hills and sloughs between fields and a short but very rapid growing season. Without cows the bush grows in very dense and thorny, cows are really the only animal that can clean the bush of scrub (mainly by trampling) and leave the nice larger trees alone. The vegetation around here basically can't be killed out unless you overgraze but typically people put about 30 cows per quarter section. And after the cows clean up you can put horses on the land but they don't really have food value around here so kind of off topic.

Currently -10C at the North Pole lots of melting going on there. Ever hear of the North-West passage? Why is it still frozen over, with all this melting ships should be traveling back and forth especially since 2012 was supposed to be a record warm year. Maybe 2012 wasn't a record year.

How is beef costly in resources? Where I live land that is unstable for farming or anything else is grazed. The cows keep the bushes clean and make worthless land valuable.
