what I'D like to see is the Global Morning News team riding their bikes in from the 'burbs to said beaches as part of "Global Goes Green" week. THAT would make it worthwhile viewing...
I recall one of those Global Insight pieces awhile back where they interviewed some hack from Europe who was here to extoll the virtues of commuter cycling and how everyone back in the Old Country does it. NOWHERE in this story did ANYONE touch on the fact that our cities are not DESIGNED for commuter cycling. Most Euro cities are a network of self-contained centres where people live AND work. Our city engineers sorta missed the mark there...
Methinks they outta do a standup piece with Madryga on all this global "cooling" on the Wet Coast....

You know... I wish we could ride our bikes to work that day - actually I have debated rollerblading or riding my bike to work everyday....but doing that at 3am in the morning would be a little scary...if only there was daylight at that time!
If I remember correctly .. one of the young lasses who is part of Global's morning crew in Calgary .. rides her bike to work on a daily basis .. even when the winter winds start blowing in August. I do not know where she lives in the Stampede city .. or how far away from the TV station that is .. and it was, I believe, more for her health's sake than anything else .. but it proves that it can be done ......
What a marketing spin with some sublimitals - "GLOBAL Warming", "GLOBAL Economy", "GLOBAL Hysteria", "GLOBAL Television".
The Earth is actually cooling and man has nothing to do about it. Like regional seasons, the EARTH as a whole, goes through natural seasons (Ice age, slow thaw, warms up, gets colder, ice age....) at the whim of the Sun's "spots", and the diminishing fluctuations in our magnetosphere that periodically undergoes a complete polarity flip. The weakening of the field allows more solar particles, and various ultra-violet and microwaves in. Man just dumps garbage and fouls his nest - he can't control world climate.
Master .. sounds a little bit like what happens on a LOCAL front at my home. If I tend to dump garbage and foul my nest and then forget to clean it up .. there is an icy glare from the better half .. along with the cold shoulder treatment .. and things only warm up and slightly thaw when my paw digs into the 'job jar' on projects to be completed here .. as well as cleaning up the mess I originally made.

It's actually Angela Kokott, the station's morning show anchor, that bikes to work every day - even when it's -30 outside. Global Calgary is in the NE side of the city close to downtown, so she can't be too far away.
Which helps us to appreciate that even though Calgary is much colder than the wet coast .. it is possible to ride one's bike at most times in this city without fears as expressed by CRS earlier. Sometimes it is nicer to have the wet stuff rather than the white stuff .. especially when it comes to shovelling the stuff .. but there are benefits such as riding one's two-wheeler without fears of "working all day with that mud stripe up your rear"... Now, if we could only get the westerly winds to slow down a bit; -- just be a gentle breeze....
If you can ride your bike to work everyday, good on ya! My point is our streets aren't designed for cycling. Even if your city has put in bike lanes adjacent to the road...you're still mixed in with all that traffic. love breathing in exhaust when i'm huffing away...
CRS .. you do have a point there .... It does not matter where one is in terms of congested traffic .. and that includes Calgary at the forefront .. there is going be a lot of foreign matter waiting to be inhaled by the unsuspecting biker .... .. and development in these sprawling urban centres never did include the possibility of having pathways dedicated to the biker. In fact, Calgary's finest are doing speed patrols and ticketing those pedallers who are biking faster than a posted speed limit .. to ensure that pedestrians or skaters or other users are not put in any danger while doing their thing on the same pathway. That's taking a lot of incentive away in cities such as this one .. from using one bike regardless of the reason.
ticketing speeding "cyclists"...that is so WRONG. Are Calgary's finest that desperate to reach their ticket quota??
How about everyone's thoughts about this morning's Global show? Interesting to note on City-TV Simi and Dave are down at Lonsdale Quay. Wonder if this was in response to Global going to the beach or if they were planning to do this all along. It's refreshing...almost Today Show like...for both shows to get out of the studio. Let's see more of this...
... we are hearing the same thing we�ve heard for years, viewing the same footage of melting ice, and still watching the mercury drop in our thermometers�
THANK YOU FOR SAYING ITS GOING THROUGH A NATURAL CYCLE!
out of all the networks doing this hole global warming propaganda, The CW has it best... free to be green, so I guess I'm free not to buy in to this crap. We just had the coldest two weeks in June since 1930's was it?
Here are examples of two people whose understanding of global climate change is so limited, they end up arguing for the "green side". The earth's climate is not as simple as the climate in your house where you turn the temperature up and it gets warmer in the whole house. When the earth's temperature rises in one area, it can and does cause others to be wetter, windier, colder, hotter, drier etc. So "watching the mercury drop" and seeing record cold and rain is something you should get used to as a part of global climate change.
You do know the planet and the solar system goes through hot and cold periods? and other planets have been warming up as well, so I guess those aliens better stop flying their space crafts. I also guessthe thousands of scientists and meteorologist that refute Al Gore and companies views and "facts" on global warming or global climate also have limited understanding. I also find it funny how when its hot out its global warming, then when its snowing, wet, winding, below average temperature its global climate change or you hear nothing about it.
