http://www.smh.com.au/news/world/canada-not-so-safe-website/2008/01/26/1201157737457.html

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade''s Smart Traveller website warns potential tourists of terrorism, dangerous winter driving, heavy snow, ice and wind chills, as well as tornadoes, earthquakes and forest fires.

They should have thrown in Climate warming hoax perpertrators.???????????

I would not take to much notice of it, sounds like a beat up to me.

As you can see from the above, the reasons are a little on the ridiculous side.

Certainly would not stop me from coming to your beautiful country.

Hullo Mz. Erasmus.

I have no idea of what you are talking about, nothing of such has been published over here, no doubt a beat up from somebody looking for a bit of publicity, but is totally lacking in ethics.

So sleep easy, the rascals are not coming to get you during the night..

In point of fact, Canada is regarded as one of the safer destinations foer us, more so than the country to your south.

I see you are keeping up the good work.

All the best, have a good one.

PART 2
Painter, a recent addition to the university''s geology department, is now studying the Wasatch Range. He says the snowpack
there is under serious assault from dust and soot. Wasatch canyons provide most of Salt Lake City''s water and are
economically significant for winter recreation.
"If it''s possible to clean up the snowpack, we can buy significant time to increase snowpack duration," he said. "We have
enormous amounts of research to do. I look forward to doing it over the next decade."
Painter said dust''s effects on snow are a global problem. The disappearance of central Asia''s Aral Sea, for example, magnifies
ecological devastation by sending plumes of dust off the dry lake bed. The dust blows east and settles in China''s Tienshan
mountain range, where it disrupts the snowpack''s hydrologic cycles.
Old lake bed sediments document changes over time, in the way historic weather patterns are written into tree rings. Reading
these sediments reveals a surge in dust emissions around the world, Painter said.

ITS ALL A BUNCH OF BUNK! READ ON! PART 1
Utah scientist: Dust shortening winters
52 minutes ago
Western winters are getting shorter because of dust kicked up by urban and agricultural development, a University of Utah
researcher said.
Thomas Painter, head of the school''s Snow Optics Laboratory, said in a lecture at the downtown library Monday that disturbed
particles from the Colorado Plateau mix with snow, limiting the heat it can reflect. As a result, today''s snowpacks melt about a
month earlier than they once did. Painter''s research affirms longtime anecdotal claims that the dirtier snow is, the faster it
melts.
"That has enormous implications up and down the line," Painter said. He said it''s important because when the snow cover
dissipates earlier than it should, the ground is exposed at a time when the sun is highest in the sky. This can hurt the local
ecology.
"That has some impact on regional climate," he said. "We''re seeing a 1.5 degree Centigrade temperature increase."

I just got back from a lecture by the program director for the Antarctic Earth Sciences program at the National Science Foundation. Some very interesting information about studies recently completed, and studies in the works. With Polenet, they will be able to weigh the Antarctic ice sheets every year by using a system of GPS and seismic sensors.

If you are still around I have a question for you.

Are you hearing warnings about traveling to Canada?

Last night on our news, they were saying that Australia is warning their people about coming to Canada. They are saying that it isn''t safe to walk the streets. When my husband and I heard that, we turned and looked at each other and started laughing. We couldn''t believe it! Our news reporters took their cameras out on to the streets and started asking people what they thought about the streets and they all said that they felt very safe. In fact one of the people interviewed was a person from Australia on vacation and he said he felt perfectly safe.

The real funny thing was that Australia said that they considered CHINA and a number of other countries, which I can''t remember, to be safer! At the time they listed them, though, I do remember that NONE of them would be safer than here. The only place that I can think of that wouldn''t maybe be safe would be Toronto.

Now, the Republicans finally believe in global warming. Next, they will start walking upright.

There is another article on this site: "UN Chief Warns Of Water Shortages".

The U.S. is already getting water from Canada and because of global warming the shortage is supposed to get worse. We don''t mind helping someone in need, but do you think we should have to supply the U.S. with water when they are in huge denial about global warming and doing nothing about it? I don''t think so. To me that would be like donating a kidney to someone who is still drinking, wouldn''t it? What would be the point? I would be giving something up that was of great importance to me to someone that doesn''t deserve it, don''t you think?

jowand,

You seem to know something about making things up.

There is no debate on global warming in the scientific
or civilized community, only in the neanderthal community.
