| Climate damages by 2050 will be 6 times the cost of limiting warming to 2° It's been said for years, the cost of mitigation now is less than the cost of damage later. True, but most Boomers don't care because they'll be dead by then, and future generations can pay the taxes for that, not them. :evil: |

That's yet another reason NOT to shop at Stupidstore.
Loblaws is trying to out-a$$hole Wal-mart when it comes to being complete jerks, and at this point, I'd almost like to see Wal-mart destroy the Weston empire once and for all. |

It might hit -50 overnight tonight, and the province just issued an emergency alert to conserve power. Tonight is going to be ![[cold]](./images/smilies/cold2.gif "Cold") . |
