Well, this is obvious, since Bad Weather never happened prior to 1988 when atmospheric CO2 crossed 350ppm
Climate Change Kills, So Charge Canada With Homocide
It was several days before media reports and commentary on the havoc caused by typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines finally began to acknowledge a possible connection to anthropogenic climate change. While no single hyper-storm can be positively attributed to human disruption of the global climate system, climate models predict that extreme weather events will increase in frequency and violence. Unprecedented natural maelstroms like Haiyan provide empirical evidence that the models are likely correct.
So cannot be attributed, but Warmists, including the writer, William E. Rees, do just that. Especially with “hyper-storms” or something.
What continues to be almost entirely missing from media analysis is Canada’s role in all this, particularly the moral dimensions of the nation’s current economic development policies and those of several provinces (e.g., BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Newfoundland). The facts are that:
1) on a per capita basis, historically and at present, Canada stands among the world’s top greenhouse gas (GHG) emitters particularly of carbon dioxide (CO2). Canadians are therefore as responsible as anyone else on Earth for human-induced global warming. (To argue that as a nation our emissions are only 2-3% of the global total is specious, essentially a form of denial);
Doom.
In this light, is it not time that we had a nation-wide adult conversation about just what is going on here?
Isn’t that what Warmists have been doing for decades? Seems your conversation, ie, spreading awareness, has failed. Especially since Warmists won’t take the plunge and go “carbon neutral” themselves, starting with giving up their own fossil fueled travel.
The Criminal Code (Section 219) is even clearer that lack of intent to harm is no defence if the damage results from conscious acts performed in careless disregard for others: “Everyone is criminally negligent who (a) in doing anything, or (b) in omitting to do anything that it is his duty to do, shows wanton or reckless disregard for the lives or safety of other persons” (where “duty” means a duty imposed by law). Indeed, “a person commits homicide when, directly or indirectly, by any means, he causes the death of a human being, by being negligent.”
So, all Canadian Warmists who haven’t gone “carbon neutral” should turn themselves in on murder charges.
