He speaks of "turning off the fossil fuel fire hose." Schellnhuber said much the same thing at the 2015 Paris climate summit where he said our only hope of keeping climate change within survivable limits depended on the "induced implosion" of the fossil fuel giants by the governments of the world.

I'm not a denier."<br /><br />While he opposes what he calls an "unfair tax" because it would put businesses at a disadvantage against competitors from markets without one, Ford could not offer an alternative that would encourage the offsetting of carbon emissions.<br /><br />"We'll sit down with our team and come up with a strong platform on that," he said.<br /><br />I guess he'll get back to us, eh?Lornehttp://politicsanditsdiscontents.blogspot.canoreply@blogger.com
