CBC Manitoba Thinks Nothing Can Be Done About Climate Change! Larry Writes Yet Another Letter-to-the-Editor
Larry Powell The flood of the century - Red River Valley - 1997. I made what I thought was a reasonable request of CBC Manitoba the other day. I asked it to start including atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide (C02), in its weather casts.

Apparently, we can no longer choose to drive smaller cars, take the bus, live close to work or just visit the Mayan Rivier
