There is a climate conference in Durban next month and Canada will announce that it is pulling out of the very out-dated Kyoto Protocol. The previous governments never put a viable plan in place to meet emission goals so it is now impossible to meet the deadline on carbon emissions. There are other countries on-side with us. Our biggest objection will be that some very large 'developing' nations are not required to come on board and all the responsibility will fall on the richest nations of the world. These developing nations are China, India, and Brazil, three of the largest power houses in the world economy today.
When the Kyoto agreement was first proposed it was said then that the author, Maurice Strong (sad to say a Canadian) had one goal in mind with the whole global warming movement, and that was to redistribute the wealth of the world. That, my friend, is called world socialism, the last thing we need. Apart from that, the idea of anthropogenic climate change is being seriously challenged these days. The media is slow to pick up on it, but the movement among scientists is growing. Why throw billions at a dubious theory when there are much more pressing issues in the world.
