A team of Canadian researchers has unearthed the most ancient ice ever found in North America – 700,000-year-old wedges that didn't melt when the Earth was much balmier than it is today.**********
The scientists say their discovery means the permafrost that covers a quarter of the land in the Northern Hemisphere may not release its vast stores of carbon as quickly as some experts fear.

"They called me foolish and laughed at my predictions. Yet even now, the Midwest is flooded, the ice caps are melting, and the cities are rocked with tremors, just as I foretold."Yeah, yeah CC... we know.

LAST WORD: What the doctor ordered
We have this Green Shift theory which sounds interesting, but what we don’t have at our finger-tips is the shapes of those curves I drew above.Hmmmm... you'd think Prof. Steffi might have heard of the "Law of Unintended Consequences."
We could easily make greenhouse gas output worse, we could have no effect at all. We could cause a depression, we could cause the worst outcome possible: stagflation.
Therefore, it seems it would be stupid to manipulate the Canadian economy so drastically at this time, that is, when one considers the peer reviewed Economic evidence.
Apparently not.
