  2.  @MV-wb2cz  "There is a very easy and simple explanation for this phenomenon. Ever heard of El Nino? That's what we are experiencing right now. The sun goes through cycles hot and cold. Go back to school." ==But how did you learn such great things such as El Nino and Sun cycles yet scientists have never heard about such things? Are scientists idiots? I have good news for you. El Nino are factored in. I think it was El Nino that caused a bump for 2016. It was a slightly warmer globe. Here you go: Scientists from Europe’s Copernicus program also have 2020 tying 2016 as the warmest year on record, while the UK Met Office ranked 2020 as the second-warmest. “The previous record warm year, 2016, received a significant boost from a strong El Niño,” Schmidt said. “The lack of a similar assist from El Niño this year is evidence that the background climate continues to warm due to greenhouse gases.” Sun cycles: The radiation output of the Sun does fluctuate over the course of its 11 year solar cycle. But the change is only about one-tenth of 1%—not substantial enough to affect Earth’s climate in dramatic ways, and certainly not enough to be the sole culprit of our planet’s current warming trend, scientists say. “The small measured changes in solar output and variations from one decade to the next are only on the order of a fraction of a percent, and if you do the calculations not even large enough to really provide a detectable signal in the surface temperature record,” said Penn State meteorologist Michael Mann. The link between solar activity and global warming is just another scapegoat for human-caused warming, Mann told LiveScience. You think that higher intensity light from the Sun is warming the Earth. I have good news for you. Scientists are not as stupid as you think. Better yet, they have the equipment to take measurements. The solar rays haven’t changed much. What has changed is the amount of infra-red rays being emitting from Earth into space. This is something that is measured using satellite imagery.

  3.  @plmokm33  "If Canada reduces emissions to zero and that country keeps doing what they're doing then it quite literally makes zero difference, except of course for the people who have to suffer as a result of everything costing 5x the price it should." ==What is costing 5x the price that it should?

  4.  @plmokm33  I live in Quebec. The cost of food seems to have gone up by 150%, in other words, what was 1.00$ (2019) is now 1.50$ (2023). In other words, the multiplier is 1.5 (not 2 or 3 or 5x). The medicine that I buy, the price was 14.79$ for one of them. The other was 10.26$. That was in 2019. For 2023, 21.60$ and 16.05$, for the same number of pills, same mg. That is an increase of 146% and 109%. I have no idea if there is a carbon tax. I know that when you buy batteries, electronics, there is something called an eco free. I think it is 0.25$ for a couple of D cell batteries.

  5.  @markanderson100  "Per capita amount is the only fair way to make an apples to apples comparison, Otherwise, you're saying that Canadians deserve to pollute and emit at greater levels than those countries merely because our population is smaller. That's an absurd argument to make." ==Well, it is their decision to have their population swell up that much. It is India and China, that make up about about 3 billion people, which is near 40% of the world. This is like saying, hey, let’s me and you go into business together. You invest 50% and I will invest 50% and for the profits, let’s share amount all our family members. I have 50 people in my family and you have 5. So, I get 90%. China is 32.884% USA is 12.600% India is 6.991% Russia is 4.956% The above are raw numbers. China emits 32.884% of the world CO2. Next thing you know, they will be saying, Hey, we don’t have enough land to live on. Can you take yours?

  6.  @markanderson100  “If you really want to talk about how much China emits as a country, then you'll have to include all the manufacturing that takes place in China to address the demands of developed countries.” ==That is correct, there has been a lot of offshoring. China accepted it since it is good business for China. However, these numbers stay as raw numbers: China is 32.884% USA is 12.600% India is 6.991% Russia is 4.956% “You'll have to deduct all the emissions related to the goods we consumed from their totals and add it to ours.” ==You can do that if you want but what is your point? “But it sure is convenient for you to blame China than actually look deeper into what all is involved.” ==I am not blaming anyone. I am just listed the numbers. 32.884% is a huge number and that needs to come down by a lot. Who is going to bring it down? Can China do it? Do they need help building hydro damns? Maybe western nations should pay for a portion. That is when politicians need to come together and discuss the issue.

  7.  @markanderson100  “Instead of blindly and ignorantly hating on China” ==That is the second time you said that to me but why do you say it? “even redeployed their military towards efforts like plantation” ==OK, that is good. “But with the way things are going, that's what it seems will, unfortunately, happen.” ==The only county that I have seen that has a strong refusal to let go of petrol and coal is the USA and that is bc about 50% of the population are republicans. All these countries have what is called the “conservative party”. They tend to be christian, mostly YEC, they are against the Big bang theory, Evolution Theory, masks, LGBTQ. In the case of the USA, the conservative party has the backing of 50% of the population while in other western countries, it is far less. I don’t know about every single one of these countries. Brazil might have too many conservatives as well.

  8.  @shamelessplug06  "People from Ontario and selfish French Canadians." ==Not the coal miners, not the petrol miners, not Alberta and that is the way it should be.

  9. ​ @shamelessplug06  Isn't Alberta suffering from a lot of job losses? Around 2006, it was booming. I always heard about its petrol industry. What do you mean by Quebec being a leech? Quebec has a lot of Hydro power. Their is a strong push for EV cars and it makes sense here. They are building more hydro power plants. It has been calculated that if all cars in Quebec turn to EV today, there is a need for 3.5 Romaine power plants. I think Romaine-4 has been completed and operational and the other 3 are near completion. I think Romaine-1 is said to be 1550 MW. Hydro-Quebec also signed 1 or 2 y ago a 24 billion$ contract to sell electricity to new York. That is going to be a lot of reduction of CO2 emission. I hope Alberta can build hydro plants as well.

  11.  @mr2_mike  Hydro-Quebec is investing in Hydro damns. It has estimated that if all cars become EV vehicles, there is a need for 3.5 times new Romaine power plants. Romaine-4 is ready. I think the others are nearly finished. I think Romaine-1 will supply 1550 MW of power. I think it was about 2 y ago, Hydro-Quebec signed a big contract with New York. I think the contact is worth 24 billion$. It is going to cut coal fired plants. How long does a hydro plant last for? 100 y? 1000 y? That many years of no CH4 output.
