Isn't it better if it's warming up?? What's this about climate change?

As the days are getting shorter, and we are starting to see a few leaves on the ground, we are reminded that winter is coming. The imminent change in seasons means a switching over to warmer clothing and bracing ourselves for Arctic winds sweeping across the Prairies... or does it?

Is it really getting colder, or are things just changing? Such as our climate??

Why is there so much negativity around climate warming? Isn't this good for us here in the northern part of the hemisphere?

Hmmm check out the links about a crew who is raising awareness about the impacts of climate change, the Arctic Joule...

Why Not Wi Fi?? What's the prob??

WHAT'S UP WITH WI-FI??



An Ontario teachers' union is calling for an end to new Wi-Fi setups in the province's 1,400-plus Catholic schools.
The Ontario English Catholic Teacher's Association says computers in all new schools should be hardwired instead of setting up wireless networks.
It also says Wi-Fi should not be installed in any more classrooms.
Why not Wi-Fi?? Isn't this essential to being globally connected? Isn't this important to propelling learning into the 21st Century? What's the big deal? Why is there a debate?? Why should YOU, YES YOU... BE CONCERNED??
