David Suzuki, global warming is not your fault
David Suzuki’s newest project, a CBC radio show called The Bottom Line, debuts on Sunday, but for someone whose career is looking as stellar as can be, the eco-crusader is a little mopey. In an interview with the Globe and Mail, Suzuki appeared pitifully self-deprecating, admitting to profound disappointment with his environmental legacy. “When I started the [David Suzuki Foundation], I said, ‘We’ve 10 years. Every penny we raise we’re going to spend because we’ve only got 10 years [to make a difference].’ Well, it’s 20 years later. We’re still fighting the same battles.”
Sounds like Suzuki needs a hug. Sure, his foundation’s lobbying to meet Kyoto targets didn’t accomplish much, but Kyoto was a total flop anyway. And how can he dismiss the landmark TV series The Nature of Things in creating environmental awareness? Or those commercials that convinced us to unplug our beer fridge? If you’re going to name an environmental leader in this country, there’s no one who comes to mind more than David Suzuki. So perk up, David. If you give up, there’s no hope for the rest of us.

• David Suzuki looks back with regret [Globe and Mail]){kind=link}
This 2012 winter has been the strangest weather I can remember in southern ontario. No cold snap. I have friends that rely on cold for plowing and ice huts. They are all having a hard time I cant help but wonder if something is going on and maybe a little quicker than we’ve been told. And am I the only one that can see it, maybe I’m crazy but I don’t think so. They say on weather network’s we are 1 degree above norm but thats way off no way. This feels like Vancouver weather I’ve herd about.
Always remember that the Government is doing everything that it can to hide the truth about climate change from the public. That means controlling the media so don’t expect the weather network to be any different, you must research the internet and any other avenues for the truth. Climate change has accelerated faster then anticipated and will continue to as long as we continue to elect corrupted governments. So, you are right to assume that the climate is getting worse, because it is, the deniers are the one’s with oil and gas investments that want things to remain the same they will perish with the rest of us there money will mean nothing.
