Comment Re: climate change is real (Score 1) 26

Ach, get real. There was kilometers of ice on top of Canada just a few thousand years ago, but the melting was not caused by Indians burning oil and coal in their caves. Ice ages are caused by tiny oscillations in the earth orbit and solar activity and it will all happen again unfortunately. All our coal and oil burning may postpone it a little, if we are lucky.

Canada is a relatively small country, similar to Italy, Spain or Poland, so there is not too much money lying around there. However, if there is a large Asian client who wants oil badly enough, then it will be funded. The Trans mountain pipeline has expanded by 3x with private money since it was built a few years ago with public money - Not a bad investment.

Sanity always prevails in the end, but it can take a while. One thing the climate doomers ignore is petrochemia - we need lubricants, waxes, adhesives, coatings and polymers which almost exclusively come from oil. Burning oil is kinda stupid, since there are better uses for it, so it is a problem that will eventually solve itself.
