Athletes Should Focus on Athletics Not Activism


Should not our Olympic athletes be preparing for the up coming Vancouver Winter Olympics instead of lobbying the PM on the global warming scam?

CALGARY - Canada's winter Olympians are calling on the prime minister to take action to reduce global warming in advance of his participation at the international climate change summit in Copenhagen.

  2. I notice that the athelet is wearing ski outfit therefore it must be 'warm' outside instead of cold and I assume he skis on imaginary 'frosted flakes'

  4. I expected this skier to look much stronger then he is considering he must walk up the hills after he slides down them, since I assume he probably would not want to burn fossil fuels to create the electricity that would otherwise drag his ass up a hill in a ski lift.

  5. ...that's right Frank, this skier will have to walk up and down the hill; he also has to be very careful when skiing at night since the 'flood lights will not be lit. He can't even use a 'torch light' since the batteries have components in it which is bad for the environment. So he better learn how to adjust his eyesight like and 'owl' or use the moon for light.

  6. Gee don't they fly all over the planet to compete? I think that jocks ain't always the smartest kids in the class may apply. Question for Hayley ,have you ever played pond hockey because all the off season arenas you prep in suck carbon based energy big time but maybe you are an Owl Gore AGW-ist and maybe you thank Canada for your good fortune

  8. I wonder what the total carbon footprint of the Olympic games is? All the meetings leading up to; all the competitions leading up to, all the flights to get participants, officials and fans to the city; construction of facilities; the actual operation of the event, and returning everyone home. I bet it is more than the Alberta oilsands.
