Canadians have seen Stephen Harper's plan of action to combat climate change - there isn't one. Wait several years, consult, ponder, then wait another ten to fifteen years to impose GHG caps. That should keep the tar sands boys happy.
Monday could be an awkward day for Harper. On Monday the British Treasury Department will release Sir Nicholas Stern's long awaited report on the economic costs of global warming. The Stern report warns that doing nothing about global warming may be 20-times more costly to humanity than taking prompt, remedial action. Twenty times more expensive. Not ten, not fifteen, but twenty.
Stern's calculations take into account the costs of droughts, floods, hurricanes and human migration.
If the opposition needs another cudgel to smack Stevie on the head, the Stern report should work.
