Is Canada shirking its international obligations when it comes to climate change?

Le réchauffement climatique, un mythe?? Hé! Oh! En est-on vraiment encore là… c'est triste, triste comme d'appuyer ce gouvernement du Moyen-Âge .

I'm appalled by the fact that 40% actually chose "climate change is a myth" I really hope that's not all of Canada's consensus.

I see that 41% opted for the ''Climate change is a myth'' option. I always wondered how the heck Stephen Harper got to be elected Prime Minister of this country–now I have my answer.

Brilliant:

I don't understand the position of those who want to do nothing to address climate change… just in case there is a giant conspiracy amongst the scientific community.

Here's how I see it:

Column 1 – AGW is real
Column 2 – AGW isn't real
Row 1 – Do something
Row 2 – Do nothing

C1R1 – Despite perhaps being too late, we make an effort to prevent massive disaster. Economic stimulus helps 'green' growth while potentially harming fossil fuel industry. Crisis may not be averted but valiant efforts unite the nation and the world.
C1R2 – Worst case scenario. No effort is made and the results of AGW create misery, war, famine, climate refugees, and eco-terrorists who have a real bone to pick with Canada and USA.
C2R1- AGW isn't real but effort is made anyway. Green industry receives stimulus at taxpayers expense, thus leveling the field with the massive subsidies given to fossil fuel industry. Fossil fuel industry is no longer sucking up all the taxpayer subsidies and has real competition for the first time.
C2R2 – Status quo: we continue to subsidize fossil fuel industry at the expense of free market until green technologies are finally able to overcome the gov't coddling of fossil fuel industry and wind/solar/geothermal displaces fossil fuels with undeniable cost-savings.

First thing that got me suspicious of “global warming” was the fact that too many governments around the world agreed. That many governments NEVER agree on ANYTHING unless it’s a prelude to restriction of their people, and taking more money from them.

Second thing that made me suspicious was the fact that less than 2 months went by and a global carbon credits SCAM was introduced. GLOBAL leglsiative packages are NOT born in two months. NEVER. It’s simply not possible to do anything like that in such a limited time frame.

Third thing that got me thinking was the fact that polluters get to buy carbon credits from non-polluters, allowing the non-polluters to continie not polluting, and allowing the polluters to keep polluting, resulting in a net benefit of ZERO enviromentally, but in the trillions globally in the form of new taxes and price hikes that ultimately are born by consumers. The ONLY way to avoid this new “non-tax” is to stop consuming ANYTHING…and since that is not possible, the end result is that since everyone pays it, it is a form of taxation without representation…as are almost all forms of taxation today.

Talk about “cow fart taxes” brought the whole idea to the point of utter insanity.

While I am not anywhere near to being against green technologies, and I’ve been tyring to convince people to put up solar panels for decades already–and been either completely ignored or ridiculed–if we do such things as plant a few solar panels on our roofs, this WILL decrease the requirement for carbon-burning/releasing fuels to heat our homes or generate electricity, and if it proves that the many and obvious falsities being put forward have any basis in truth, the these carbon emission reductions will already be in place, at a long-term benefit to the environment, and to the consumer’s bank balance.

The main trouble is that our governments see the only way to fix anything is to find new ways to steal money from the people, and we’re so accustomed to KNOWING that they’re lying to us that we also KNOW that they can not be trusted to do anything BUT lie to us to steal more of our money.

The government KNOWS that the people are too stupid to run their own lives, and they seek to control ever more facets of our daily existence…but eventually, all the new government jobs are going to come crashing down when the time comes that there are more people working within government than are left to support it…it’s time to look at reality for a change, and stop buying into all of the propaganda from those very same people that we already know have been lying to us for decades.

It’s time to get rid of the genocidal criminals who have allowed this world to become what it is…only after they’re gone will we be able to repair the damage that out of control governments have wrought against society.

With 2% of world GHG emissions even a 100% reduction is meaningless in global terms. Dwelling on per capita #'s (where our 33Mil population is amoung highest) is a distraction metric favoured by the GW fanatics. Need to focus on the global problem. Therefore, a made in Canada solution oblivious to programs major emitters develop would be the wrong plan. Must coordinate our program(s) with the majors.
