Elizabeth May and The Northern Gateway Pipeline
2012/02/06
Here is a short video of MP Elizabeth May (also leader of the Green Party) presenting a petition in Parliament last week. In less than a minute, she makes three excellent points regarding the Northern Gateway pipeline debate.

JP, I am very grateful for your taking the time to find and post this.
Elizabeth is absolutely brilliant! Brevity, par excellence! A skill I am trying to learn too: Climate science in a nut fragment (6 Feb 2012)!
That was an excellent summary. Quite brief when considering the quantity of information involved. And an interesting discussion afterwards!
I was always curious about the “lag” between CO2 and temperature. If I understand correctly, increased temperature causes a release in CO2 from oceans (due to lower solubility at higher temperatures). And vice-versa. Is that correct?
High JP – Yes, that is correct.
John Kosowski rightly (for once) identified that in striving for brevity I had lost out on clarity. This is not surprising when you consider that I started with 5 x 1000 word posts. However, as discussed in more detail in <a href="http://lackofenvironment.wordpress.com/2011/10/31/climate-science-in-a-nutshell-part-1/Climate science in a nutshell – Part 1, which poses the question, “how many [people] are aware that water at 30 Celsius can only hold half as much dissolved CO2 as it can at 10 Celsius? “ As I keep saying palaeoclimatology (not modelling) is the key to understanding and predicting climate disruption.
I think I am getting somewhere with him but, boy, has it been hard. I want to talk about politics and he wants to talk about science. However, at long last, I think he has got that particular message…
Just “Hi” would probably been better!!!
I learn something new every day! I knew that gases were less soluble at higher temperatures, but those numbers are huge.
Thanks for the science lesson : )
