major quake in E. Canada

Most folks don't know that there was a major earthquake in eastern Canada a couple hundred years ago. It was so severe, in fact, that the area which we now call Labrador and Newfoundland actually split away from the mainland and floated off into the Atlantic.

But of course, nowadays Labrador is right back where it belongs, snug against the mainland with nary a crack to be seen, while Newfoundland remains an island province. How could that be, you wonder? Well, you see, one of the early French settlers in that region happened to raise several.....

...you may have guessed it....

...he owned several (excellent and hearty, I might add)...

...Labrador retrievers.

Labrador's geology is really an untouched beauty, not unlike the northern parts of most of Canada's provinces, even relatively populated places like Nova Scotia.

The wonder of places like Newfoundland, Labrador and Northern Quebec is the quiet, un-populated nature of the land.

It is entirely possible that Newfoundland was once connected to Labrador when sea level was 100's of feet lower. At one time eastern Newfoundland was part of Europe. The former connection point to Europe is defined by a U-shaped valley . You can stand in that valley and see the entire connection point. There's a place where you can stand in eastern Newfoundland and look across the entire connection.

The island

It was the Newfoundland dogs that towed us back out to sea. Thank God we're surrounded by water.....
Merry Christmas everyone from Rocky Bayou State Park in Niceville, Florida. It is a beautiful Christmas song from the movie Holiday Inn and I love to hear it but this will not be a white Christmas for me and I can handle that. Take care... Scouter Dave.

Unhappy The Halifax Explosion

Well you do know that Halifax suffered an explosion Dec 6, 1917.

It will soon be the 100th anniversary.

A frightening post, had me concerned for a moment there.. My Floridian son is up in Montreal visiting his girlfriend's parents over the holidays. He sent me an iPhone photo of him shoveling out their driveway. I bet that got him a point of two!

I'd worry about Florida myself.

Yeah, a 50 meter rise would wipe out nearly the entire state of Florida. They'd have to call it Flood-ida.

We need to show this around to everyone who vacations in that state and create a panic... and then maybe a winter campsite at Bahia Honda would not be unobtainium!

Global warming predictions are valueless, an indication of the vanity of man.

Gore predicted that the Arctic Ocean would be ice free this year when he received the Noble Prize and we have the highest level in 10 years. Gore predicted numerous and huge hurricanes and FL has not seen a hurricane in 8-9 years. Forest fires and tornadoes are both down in extent and frequency.

Reality always wins.

You and three per cent of scientists agree.

Have to agree with you.
Probably best that we do nothing.

I have read books and articles that documented the corruption, falsification of measurements, and arm twisting that have accompanied the research in support of man-made warming. I also read an article by an old physicist who participated in a study back in the 1950s which demonstrated conclusively that CO2 is a bit player greenhouse gas. It only absorbs specific, narrow, limited wavelengths of radiation; moreover, CO2 levels at that time period already absorbed virtually all (99+%) of those wavelengths that could be absorbed by CO2, and since adding more CO2 cannot absorb greater than 100%, the study proved that increasing CO2 levels could not have an effect on earth temps.
