Breathe Easier (or how I learned to stop worrying and love greenhouse gasses)
So, I am reading this, and it occurs to me that while the great unwashed have been brainwashed into thinking that Kyoto = pollution, the reality is that we could correct the problem of pollution a great deal more quickly and efficiently than we can deal with global warming.
Smog is not caused by greenhouse gasses. Pollution that affects asthma sufferers and the elderly are not caused by greenhouse gasses.
I would love for someone, preferrably a Tory, to stand up and say "F*#$ Greenhouse Gasses", let's deal with the real issue, smog, VOC (volatile organic compounds) and particulate pollution with ready made, off the shelf, Canadian-made technology.
Q
(FULL DISCLOSURE: In a past life, I designed, manufactured and installed air pollution control systems for industrial applications. The technology exists to eliminate these pollutants NOW!!!!)

Climate Change?!?
So it seems that not everyone has signed off on the "catastrophe" of global warming, including those who were concerned in the first place.
If anyone who still believes we should be following Kyoto, then I suggest reading Lorrie Goldstein's articles and let me know if you still think committing Canada to this ridiculous treaty is worthwhile.
For those who are going to jump down my throat about being a climate change denier or anti-environmentalist, I say again, let's fix the things we can fix now like smog and real pollution and worry about the carbon dioxide and water vapour once we can breath freely.
Q
PS If the global temperature goes up by an average of 3 degrees, it means today would be -14 instead of -17 right now. Not losing any sleep at all over this.
