A new reconstruction of Arctic (NW Greenland) sea ice cover (Caron et al., 2019) reveals modern day sea ice is present multiple months longer than almost any time in the last 8000 years…and today’s summer sea surface temperatures are among the coldest of the Holocene. Yet another new study shows today’s Arctic sea ice cover is still quite extensive when compared to the last several thousand years, when CO2 concentrations ranged between 260 and 270 ppm. Regional (northwest Greenland) sea surface temperatures were about 2°C warmer than at present for most of the last 6000 to 8000 years.
Other new Arctic sea ice reconstructions from the north of Iceland (Harning et al., 2019) and Barents Sea (Berben et al., 2019) regions indicate a) modern sea ice extent has changed very little in the last several hundred years, or since the Little Ice Age, and b) the Early Holocene had millennial-scale periods of sea-ice-free and open water conditions, which is in stark contrast to “modern conditions” – the “highest value” or furthest extent of the sea ice record.
I love science.
 

So Canada, which is basically carbon neutral if you factor in our sinks, needs to make all these sacrifices and changes why again? Even if we hit net zero, that's a 1% change in global emissions at best, but really end up being nothing as emissions continue to rise from the big polluters and emerging markets.
So the whole purpose is to show the world that we can do it? Like China, USA, Russia, India give a flying **** what we do?
Even someone with a learning disability can see how futile this is.  

Dinwiddie

That blind side hit came more then a year ago. His career is the walking dead. Its over, but he still lingers around. 
No he cant last 3 games. Little on be productive in those games. He is the worst choice available.

Why am I not surprised? 

My facts are wrong, they didn't directly say they would pull the aid if the investigations were shut down, but the implication is there.

I'm not defending Trump but the Democrats like the Liberals here are the biggest hypocrites on the planet.

No need to nuke it, Walters has done a fine job of building our national and international scouting departments which are really the keys to everything. Coaching staffs are hired to be fired, that's just how it is. 

Just an FYI, in case anyone missed it, Democratic senators also asked the Ukraine to investigate Trump on the Russian probe or they would withhold aid to the country. I'm failing to see the difference? Anyone want to help me out here?

I do not believe that O'Shea warrants another year, let alone 3. He chose his assistants and damned few have shone. What evidence is there that the next ones he would choose would be any better? Why have the systemic problems in the offence and defence been allowed to continue? Early on in O'Shea's regime, it became obvious that he was slow to change and rigidly, blindly loyal/stubborn, and it was speculated that this would be his downfall. And so it has been. His judgement has been repeatedly shown to be poor. And to those who are saying that if O'Shea gets canned, we are are going to go back to the dark ages of Reinbold, Burke, Daly et al, Walters has shown himself to be able to build a good organization and he ought to be able to find a good replacement for O'Shea. Status quo is not good enough- we are no closer to the Cup than we were three years ago. I think the talent is there, save perhaps at the QB position, but at this point the team has to have lost confidence in their coaches.

Buck, Dinwiddie would be the obvious choices next year, no?

You really have to wonder how any HC worth his salt could sign off on that offensive game plan tonight?
They basically put the game on Strev's arm? We are the best rushing team in the league playing the biggest game of the year in windy conditions and you put the game on Strev's arm?
I'm completely blown away by the level of incompetence on the part of O'Shea & Lapo in preparing for this one.
Heads have to roll in the off season. 

Neither was Lapolice.

HC is ultimately to blame for everything from Lapo & Hall to the players not getting it done. No excuses for O'Shea, he's had time to turn over the roster and hire co-ordinators.

How many years do you give a coach? O'Shea has had more than enough, respectability isn't good enough in professional sports, the goal is to win a championship and if he can't get it done after 5 or 6 years it's time to move on, otherwise you end up stuck with the Lapo's and Hall's of the world.
 

Cool article- this goes back to what @pigseye was talking about ways to take care of the waste. I totally agree that a way to dispose or transform the wastes is a huge step in mitigating Climate Crisis- but we also need to eventually curb our use of fossil fuels.

I know it will never happen but they need to take the play calling away from Lapolice, he has no feel for the game and no idea how to set up a defence.
