"'Wait".
Thats the conservative answer to global warming.
Funny how close that is to the AMERICAN attitude towards global warming. Harper and Bush are both deniers of the scope of the problem, and of the urgency of action needed to combat global warming.
Yesterday on TV, Candidate Stephen Harper re-iterated an old conservative dodge on global warming, saying something to the effect of :
"We can't just go ahead and reduce emissions, it would give China and India a competitive advantage. Until they sign on to emissions reductions, Canada should save itself the troubles too. "
{If you get the actual quote, you will see that the above is the essense of what he said.]
K - Well great, we will just sit here enduring climate change and severe weather while keeping ahead of some emerging third-world economies.
CHRIST don't they see our economy will be SHOT to HELL with climate change?
The costs of 'storm damages' alone will far exceed ALL the program spending we do now from federal coffers. Its not reasonable to measure climate change against our economy, its a non-starter.
Global Warming's potential damages and other concerns exceed and overwhelm any economic matters. Money won't bring back extinct species, for instance. Or eroding coastlines... Or Englands warm climate from the gulf stream...
Businesses will be ruined, why can't Harper see that?
" Blinded by the Bush, wrapped up in the dark, never going see the light" -[to the tune of...BBTL]

And, to be fair, P.Martin 's Liberal's record of GG reductions is an increase of 24% since yr. 2000.
.....which leaves us one choice of a major party, the one never tried, the one without such firm ties to corporate america and all its FOSSIL FOOLS, the NDP. J Layton has a plan...
