From the Archives: Urban Toronto Forum > Rest of the Universe Discussion > Politics & Diplomacy > Al Gore wins Nobel Peace Prize 10-13-2007 / Post#19 At this juncture, I am not interested in the politics of Mr. Gore and/or Mr. Clinton, or whether Gore 'deserves' the Nobel Peace Prize or...

Huh?????? I do not understand your point Hydrogen. If you recall, you cited a recent change in the NASA report, and I noted that they were for US Temperatures not World Temperatures. Then I cited the man who created them - Hansen. Then I finally stated that both he and another NASA person...

I guess I'll go up to the club this evening, have my driver drop me off and have my hand massaged. I keep pulling it off with smoke-and-mirrors and I haven't anything to say after all these years of apparently sitting on my duff, wasting away the day. We are so useless we are. Just can't help...

As promised, I shall start with this: Environment trumps economy, poll suggests BILL CURRY From Monday's Globe and Mail January 29, 2007 at 7:46 AM EST OTTAWA — Promising jobs and growth has been a central theme of political platforms ever since American strategist James Carville...

I hate to point this out, but I have quoted some of this same NASA information already to Hydrogen, see post above, which led to a long series of exchanges on that other thread.

I don't mind any post Ronald, and I enjoyed yours (your camera phone is quite sharp). Just to give you an idea of the way I was approaching this: I am not taking a strictly chronological path, but I will cover nearly all of Rem Koolhaas' work, provided I can find materials to post from across...

Hydrogen - as you know, we have jousted over this issue about global warming back on the 'Al Gore Wins Nobel Prize' thread. And it must be frustrating to see it popping up all over the UT in different forms. Much to my surprise (but in all honesty, to my delight) polls among Canadians are...

Strange Things Uncovered While Researching Rem - #8 Changing a flag into a ... Barcode? Down with EU stars, run up stripes from BBC News, UK Originally Published 8 May 2002 (Re-formatted for Posting, Emphasis Added in Red - Z) The rather sombre European Union flag could do with changing...

The day that rancour disappears from this thread, is the day this thread is closed - plain and simple. In the meantime, we await the next set of photographs, or a wanderer onto this thread, and the battlefield begins anew. .

Foundation Buildings - Patio Villa - Actual compared to Plans You may believe you are looking at the Rem Koolhaas' version of Mies' Farnsworth House, or Phillip Johnson's Glass House, but you would be wrong. What you are seeing is a module inserted partially into a house to generate spacing and...

Thanks - it will be fine. In a way I am just like you. I started out as a University level Instructor with aspirations to be a Professor in a related field, and after getting a few small-time projects that paid very very well, I went further into that direction, eventually becoming what I am...

Thanks for asking Hydrogen. It will take a while, and it throbs all day, but I use it as a club.:)

If I spent any time. I am not a construction worker I am a structural engineer, and a paid consultant. I think I know this business by now, and that is a lame comment in defence of Stern.

buildup are you interested in my life as you are in US? I broke my hand last week at a construction site trying to make sure someone didn't get burned by a torch while I was inspecting the work. And on top of that, I work on average a nine-hour day, sometimes on Saturday and/or Sunday, but not...

Hydrogen - you can address these issues of pollution without the drastic alternative you posed. This is far from a black-and-white issue, and more of a matter of responsible actions in a world in which we share the air, and the resources we plunder are not unlimited.

Much Ado ... SeanTrans - regarding your last post, I will be more generic - past is always prologue on this thread. If it ever varies it would be a revelation. I have spent time reviewing most of this thread into the early morning, especially the latter half, and I think I can honestly say...

Well I'm not here to convince you of anything. If you are so convinced that all is well then I guess it wouldn't matter anyway. I hope that this information will be of use to someone else.
