Unfortunately there wasn't the scientific or political consensus on AGW necessary to take it seriously until just prior to the creation of the IPCC. Even their early findings were less than clear, a result of the denial community and the consensus nature of the panel.<BR/><BR/>Be that as it may, we do need to get past politics on this. No question. In Canada, as in other nations, there is an enormous amount at stake on this issue and those affected move to protect their direct interests, not society's, not mankind's. Hence all the stonewalling and the enormous disinformation campaign being waged by Big Oil, Big Coal and others. The Fossil Fuelers don't give a tinker's dam for the deaths and suffering they're causing the Third World. Sure they're fighting a rearguard action but every day they block effective remedial measures can be directly seen in their balance sheets.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-18194474937785998102008-07-09T19:16:00.000-07:002008-07-09T19:16:00.000-07:00MOS.....David Suzuki is known for his mid 70's rad...MOS.....David Suzuki is known for his mid 70's radio and CBC TV "The Nature of Things"...issues regarding the environment then. I used to read "Organic Gardening" magazine from 1971 which had many articles about the same topics we are still talking about today. That's thirty-seven years ago. The government also knew about enviromental problems then as well. So please don't insinuate people have only become aware of the enviroment and its problems in the past 12 years. It may have acquired the title "global warming" in the past twelve years but it has the same smell since the seventies and before that in Europe. And yes, you are correct when you say, we cannot go back to the past but need to begin from today which Mr. Harper has no intention of doing. So what do we need to do? We need to forget whether we are Liberal or Conservative or nothing. This problem is everyones and arguing about who did what to whom does not address the issue. We need to get off our duff and protest this government on this issue. A.

There was no international awareness of it either. The data, as anyone not too busy throwing up smokescreens will know, has only gelled in the past few years. Remember our Furious Leader hisself, old Lard Arse, derided the whole business as a "socialist scheme" just a few years back. You knuckledraggers will dig in your heels and piss down your boots before you'll ever come square on this one.

Poverty, Child Poverty, Drug Addicton, Health Care, Natives, Immigration. All these issues have had billions thrown at them and they still seem to get bigger every year, but, from Trudeau on, there isnt a PM around that wont pose for a photo op and claim that we are on the right track, so, why would you think this wouldnt be same old same old. billgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
