Cultivate that doubt. Demand proof, not lies, not scaremongering.
Don't fall for the con.
Dion had good reason for skepticism. It's practically impossible for any government to have Canada comply with the Liberals' rash Kyoto commitment. According to the latest data from Environment Canada, Canada contributed about 758 megatonnes of green house gases to the atmosphere in 2004. That was 195 megatonnes above the Kyoto target.
Eliminating 195 megatonnes of greenhouse gas emissions is a monumental undertaking. Even a total ban on the operation of automobiles would cut Canada's annual greenhouse gas emissions by fewer than 50 megatonnes.
Holy shit... get all cars off the roads and we still fall short!
(...)even the complete closure of the oilsands industry would not bring Canada into compliance with the Kyoto Protocol. Total oilsands production in Alberta produces fewer than 35 megatonnes of annual greenhouse gas emissions.
In Ontario, one of the largest emitters of greenhouse gases is the provincially owned Nanticoke Generating Station. Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty promised in the last provincial election to close this coal-burning polluter by 2009, but he backed away from this commitment, because Ontario cannot afford to get along without the electricity generated by the gigantic Nanticoke plant.
Well, well, well, what, then? How the feck should we know? The alramists apparently don't know! They don't say what we must do to meet the target!
Blindly go ahead and believe the alarmists? Blindly declare we'll meet the Kyoto target, while other countries don't have to do a bloody thing and can actually continue to increase emissions?
