The point of Kyoto is to reduce our own emissions (this is why carbon trading is fundamentally wrong).<BR/><BR/>David McGuinty is no different than his brother Dalton.

Reading about their excessively large homes and vehicles makes me wonder why they would bother to preach the gloom and doom message if they don’t believe it themselves. Perhaps it is so they can buy more excessively large homes and vehicles.<BR/><BR/>There is no excuse for them to not have modest, 100% solar powered homes, and just-large-enough vehicles powered entirely by ethanol.<BR/><BR/>The more I think about the whole topic of the environment, the more I feel compelled to take whatever steps I can to preserve and protect the ecosystem in which I live. I think it’s a good idea to be conservative and careful about the environment and for each person to take the responsibility to do what he or she can. However, when I hear these things about Suzuki and Gore themselves, I must admit it’s discouraging.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20283843.post-80226950776079937802007-06-28T09:46:00.000-04:002007-06-28T09:46:00.000-04:00You can't blame McGuinty for the LPC delegates pic...<I>You can't blame McGuinty for the LPC delegates picking Dion as the next leader, thus turning the spotlight on everything environmental.</I><BR/><BR/>I have a feeling it was an accident anyway.Joanne (True Blue)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17445664997050698154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20283843.post-80598219422537521742007-06-28T09:38:00.000-04:002007-06-28T09:38:00.000-04:00I'm going to cut McGuinty some slack here.

The environment wasn't much more than an afterthought.<BR/><BR/>You can't blame McGuinty for the LPC delegates picking Dion as the next leader, thus turning the spotlight on everything environmental. If only they had picked Ignatieff, then nobody would care about this "carbon footprints" hypocricy. <BR/><BR/>This is just another one of the unintended consequences of Dion's poorly thought out green strategy.Calgary Junkiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14036174847335286409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20283843.post-1901023805531242242007-06-28T09:14:00.000-04:002007-06-28T09:14:00.000-04:00In my oppinion the whole environmental movement in...In my oppinion the whole environmental movement in government is not about the environment. It is about increasing taxes and making people feel good about it. The environmentalist are on side for increased government grants and publicity. This is why they have no problem with their hypocrisy. They know it is all just a big scam.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
