There is one big hitch about introducing laws which curtail the production of greenhouse gasses ......

The Military is exempt. Which means that every piece of military equipment operating with the use of fossil fuels is not included in any calculation of carbon controls. One single U.S. military flight leaves a carbon footprint which would exceed that produced by the thousands of automobiles travelling the Don Valley Parkway each day.

When talking about carbon footprints ..... what about all the tourists travelling around on cruise ships and airplanes?

It seems to me that we do have a problem with Climate Change, but they are asking the nobodies driving tin cans down the roadway to suffer the taxation.

Excellent point. At the beginning of all this, tourism and individual behavior was under fire. Targeting individuals carbon footprints. However it was then realized that targeting individuals and their lifestyles wasn't getting the climate change movement anywhere. They've since shifted to attacking the fossil fuel industry almost exclusively... almost. That's where the $$$ is.

I'm going to protest big oil by burning a piece of a tire in my ice fishing shack's wood stove to save the pickerel.

The most compelling quote from the Financial Post article:

In the face of apocalyptic messages from government, media and the self-declared cognoscenti, a September Ontario Science Centre poll found that 47 per cent of Canadians think the science of global warming is unclear, up from 40 per cent last year. In America, while people feel climate change is a problem, most believe they will not be personally affected and, in any event, they are not prepared to pay to mitigate it. Nor would 61 per cent of Germans voluntarily fork over one euro cent to fund renewables. In the U.K., the Ipsos MORI poll shows a steadily declining concern about climate change since 2005, from 82 to 60 per cent. Meanwhile, global emissions are projected to increase two per cent this year. While governments may be talking the talk, they are not walking the walk. That may partially explain a contradiction at the heart of the warmist community,

.... And....

Although you will not see this much in the media, climate model projections have turned out to be exaggerated if not spectacularly wrong, the polar bear population is thriving, there was a warming hiatus, and extreme events are not more frequent.

Tragic news for the envirotard camp.... Just horrible

Equality is much more important. One thing at a time.

The only people you are going to impress are nuts like yourself who don't have enough brains to stay out of the cold! :) :)

I don't know if this has been brought up before, but dollar stores pollute. All that plastic and unusual material that is sold at places like Dollarama. There's no incentive to recycle. Cheap stuff. When it breaks, get more cheap stuff. Plastic into the landfill. (But not a real landfill. That's cruel.)

Remember when you took your bottles back for money, and spent it on candy? Pop in wooden crates? Repair shops for shoes, TVs, furniture? Most stuff gets thrown away now.

Baseball bats and hockey sticks made of wood? Real Christmas trees? Leather shoes? Cotton clothing? I guess that stuff was bad for the planet.

So it is sort of becoming a hobby to be an alarmist.
