These Guys Are Good

April 20, 2007 @ 09:12

I don't care if I sound like a right winger wiener, on this issue I've absolutely fallen in love with the Harper conservatives.

From the moment I first started reading about it, I didn't like the Kyoto Protocol and that was long before the Harper government even came to power.

As I've said many times before, it's a flawed piece of crap that will damaging for Canada, while letting other world class polluters off the hook.

Yesterday Environment Minister John Baird laid it on the line for Canadians, arguing that Kyoto could cost the thousands of jobs and drive the country into recession.

Of course all the flakes came out of the woodwork led by Jack Layton who can yap off about anything he wants because he knows he'll never be in a position to make a decision.

Baird and his government have been accused of being alarmist and their assumptions have been called severe and that just makes we want to piss my pants.

Answer me this. How is the loony left allowed to promote Kyoto and global warming on the platform of severe climate change, drought, rising sea levels, dead polar bears and a host of other whacked out premises, but the minute Conservatives bring some rationale to the situation they're accused of being alarmist.

All Canadians should be thrilled that Baird and the Harper Conservatives are bringing this perspective to the table. The easiest thing for them to do would be to go along with all this fashionable global warming crap until after the election, and then betray us all.

Instead they're taking the high road. Telling us what they think now, before the election, so we know where they stand.

This government is concerned about Kyoto and concerned about the effect it could have on the country. I think we all better wake up and appreciate it.

...and come up with a better alternative to Kyoto so there's still someting that resembles a planet in 50 years.

I totally agree with Fred on this. Kyoto is flawed due to the fact it is only a theory that global warming is a man-made disaster. A bunch of scientist are only “pretty sure” it's man-made. That's not good enough.

OK - so then let's follow Harper's leadership and move on. let's focus on environmental issues that do matter such as clearcutting in B.C. and taking recyclable material out of the main trash flow...

There's so much about Kyoto and the environment that we don't know. What we DO know is that Kyoto will bring about economic collapse. And who will get the blame for this? Harper! A very convenient whipping boy for the Liberals.

I'd feel much better if all these "thinkers" and "talkers" would use Kyoto as a starting point only to develop knew ideas and alternatives that won't destroy the economy...

How will it destroy the economy? by forcing mankind to think of ways to better ourselves? Instead we should keep polluting, ignore Kyoto altogether and keep running this planet into the ground after all Mars is there maybe that planet can sustain us after this one is shot to hell. Come on people get with it. It is a treaty that forces us to come up with solutions. Someone has to be paid to come up with those solutions and then more people have to be paid to implement those solutions. The economy will survive it will survive in different areas. People will have to change their ways....Be more conservative. If Kyoto isnt going to work we have to figure out something before there isnt a planet left for us that is usable. And for those who say its not manmade? I beg to differ.
Canadians should not be so quick to think that man cannot change our planet, remember when Lake Erie was on Fire in the 70's? who caused that? The Fish farting?

Finally, Buffalo Boy is bringing some sense to the table. The environment is not a pissing match, is it nature or mankind or God itself. Unless your completely blind, the earth is in crisis and the root cause is not relevant.
What is a relevant issue is whether the environment is a moral or business issue; and I would like to thank the Conservative party for clarifying which side of the fence they are on. Now the question has to be asked of them, whose business interests are they looking after. I for one, don't for one second believe it is the value of the Canadian dollar! There looks to be a scramble in the OLD money world to keep everything as it always has been, but please believe in mankind, if it costs us a bit more, and if we need to do with a bit less because business is being forced to become environmentally responsible, we will pay the price and the world economy will not come crumbling down. Just some old farts living off some smart family decisions, generations ago; will now have to go look for a job!

Mr. Suzuki (and other lame wannabees),

Again, there is no tangible proof global warming is caused by excessive pollution. Does the world need to reduce pollutants? Absolutely! But let us not tie polluting the earth with global warming together. As for Kyoto, why should North America comply when India and China are not required to??? The majority of the pollution if coming from those two countries.

This ‘old money' crap is just that, crap.

Argie, I agree. All of us are concerned but how many have actually done some research about Global Warming and the direct relation to Carbon emissions. From what I personally have been able to easily find from Google, Carbon emissions are NOT even a minor contributing factor compared to (are you ready for this), water vapor!

Danno, you wowed me on the water vapor story. Have you heard the one about the amount of methane gas that cow shit produces; ya it's the cows, I knew they always had a funny smirk when they thought I wasn't looking at them.
