With the loss of John Howard, Canadian PM Stephen Harper now stands alone with GWB among democratically elected climate skeptics. Although he now spins a line about "apsiritional" targets, he has denied the existence of global warming throughout his public life -- much of that spent in a right-wing Calgary thinktank.
That putrid doublespeak of "aspiritions" became the offical adjective used by the Commenwealth of Nations to make their climate change statement last week. Every attending nation wanted stronger language except for my beloved, and once progressive, country.
On the website for the Toronto Globe and Mail, there is a poll about whether one agrees or not with Harper's "stand" on greenhouse gas emissions. The tally right now is 60% No, 40% Yes. I turn to the Kossacks community to add their vote. If you have an opinion on Harper's position, follow the link below. Thank you from one disillusioned Canadian.
