Canada to withdraw from Kyoto Protocol

He said meeting Canada's obligations under Kyoto would cost $13.6bn (10.3bn euros; £8.7bn): "That's $1,600 from every Canadian family - that's the Kyoto cost to Canadians, that was the legacy of an incompetent Liberal government".

He said that despite this cost, greenhouse emissions would continue to rise as two of the world's largest polluters - the US and China - were not covered by the Kyoto agreement.

You know something, I bet if we cut out all the democrat vote buying freebies, such as welfare, foodstamps, free housing, free phones, etc.....the U.S.'s carbon emissions would drop drastically.

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

Personally, I don't really care what their reason was for pulling out of the Kyoto agreement, the fact is that they are.

It may have been the worst kept secret EVAH, again, I don't care.

It's another stake in the heart of the climate change agenda and that is a good thing.

No need to over-complicate this.
