Slightly off topic but I've been wondering why everyone has to go tear A$$ing off to Paris at great public expense when teleconferencing is available in this day and age? How much time over there is actually going to be spent dealing with the problem? By and large we already know what we have to do...............drive less, walk more, turn out lights that aren't being used, make more use of the sun and the wind. Take vacations closer to home. That conference in Paris will likely be just one major piss up, with very little accomplished!
It's just an excuse for the talking heads to take a little vacation for 4-7 days, leave behind a carbon footprint larger than the City of Coventry produces in a year, all so they can admonish us that we need to do more in a futile attempt to prevent the inevitable.
For Dippers and many Liberals it's not about results though, it's about
looking like you're doing something about it.
For example, Canada's total proven oil reserves would equate to about 22 billion tonnes of atmospheric CO2. It doesn't matter if we burn it off in 3 years, 30 years or 300 years, it's still going to produce that same 22 billion tonnes. By comparison, China produces 10 billion tonnes of atmospheric CO2
every year!
Canada's total annual contribution was still HALF that of international transport. Think about that for a second. Even when our oil sands were going full bore, Canada as an entire nation of 35 million people only produced half of as much CO2 emissions as international shipping, trucking and train transport did.
As usual, Canada is being sold down the river for the benefit someone else and the left-tards are applauding it.
