To listen to Stephen Harper jabber you would think he gets it. "Perhaps the biggest threat to confront the future of humanity today" is how he describes global warming while in Germany today for the G8 summit.
So what is our leader's plan of action? In concrete terms, the best he's come up with is to say we can't meet our Kyoto target obligations. Okay, Mr. Prime Minister, just what have you done to try to meet those obligations since you took power a year and a half ago? Tell us about your Herculean struggle. You spent the first year leaving it up to Rona who walked around in a daze "perhaps" from all that hair spray. Then you appointed Baird as her replacement when you realized there were votes at stake on this one. But just what have you done to address the "biggest threat to ...humanity today"? You've done exactly what you intended to do - virtually nothing.
Our prime minister reveals that he's done his homework. He's read and absorbed George w. Bush's playbook, especially the part where it says to tell people what they want to hear and then do whatever you please, regardless.
Now that Harpo has acknowledged global warming to be the biggest threat to humanity today, maybe he can stop wasting invaluable time distorting and falsifying the Liberal record on climate change. The record we need to deal with is that of the government of the day and it's nothing to be proud of.
