The Pot Calling The Kettle Black
Give me a break…
From our Venezuelan newspaper: China and India lead condemnation of Canada’s Kyoto withdrawal
I’ve spent a total of 14 weeks in China this year, and although the people are REALLY green focused, the reality is they are 10x as bad as we were in the worst era of our polluting. The government there knows now is the time to build -when it’s cheap, and does little to reign in polluters… in fact, they are the biggest polluters. India has problems that would take a book to explain.
The reality is that we are cleaner than since the beginning of the industrial revolution, have more trees than ever, and have water that we can drink in every city.
So what’s the problem?
We put an end to extortion, as well as an end to a dark era where we were sucked into making our manufacturing unaffordable. We have stopped wealth creation instead of enriching the Global Warming Cartel.
“It is regrettable and flies in the face of the efforts of the international community for Canada to leave the Kyoto Protocol at a time when the Durban meeting, as everyone knows, made important progress by securing a second phase of commitment to the protocol,” said Liu Weimin, a spokesman for China’s Foreign Ministry.
Canada stopped the transfer of our wealth dead in its tracks.. now the howling from the cartel begins.

“The reality is that we are cleaner than since the beginning of the industrial revolution, have more trees than ever, and have water that we can drink in every city.”
We have all those things because we made rational, intelligent decisions as a society. Now we are making a foolish one.
As is China. I would expect a Communist dictatorship to be uninterested in scientific reality. It’s more disappointing when a democracy allows itself to be deluded into thinking that it’s own long-term survival is not an important policy goal.

Sorry, but Canada has made improvements every year in our impact on the enviroment. The real reason China is pissed is they were counting on our $14 billion to keep building those coal-fired plants at a rate of one per week.
If it really is about saving the planet, then surely the Gore-Suzuki’s of this world would be doing everything they can to stop the rapid growth in ghg emissions by countries like China and India.
By the way, you ever wonder why Canada’s emissions output doesn’t include the offset from the huge amount of forest and plant growth? I’ll give you a hint. It would blow that whole per capita emitting argument to the trash bin, thereby preventing the gore-Suzuki types from reaping millions selling their snake-oil mantra.

Paulsstuff is spot on. The only thing I would add is that Suzuki and Gore should lead by example which is to greatly reduce their own emissions. From their life style it is clear that they don’t really believe their own propaganda.

We did make a “rational intelligent decision as a society”, and a good one at that!
We achieved that by giving the money grubbing Global Warming/Climate Change racket the big push-off.
How can something like this that purports to be about “science”, reek with leftist politics and ideology?
This scam is the bastardization of science for political purposes. It’s as simple and obvious as that.

Screw ‘em!
“According to little-noticed research, pollution stemming from China and India is so severe that it is altering your local weather. Industrial power plants from these nations have been emitting high levels of sulfate and soot from industrial processes such as coal burning. As a result, the pollution is carried by the prevailing winds over the Pacific Ocean and eventually worldwide to a region near you.”

I heard that the United States had 96 people representing it at Durban. Can you imagine the cost and pollution? What a racket this is…
