Kyoto is Useless

I have to say it for the sake of sanity, Kyoto is useless. Not only will the treaty hurt our economy, but who says that global warming is our fault? I know it’s a fad to believe everything the liberal media says, but seriously, does anybody think for themselves anymore? As Canadians, we love to look down on those primitive Yankees, but the fact of the matter is, they are so far ahead of us in emissions reduction and climate change research that it makes us look like fools. They have the right idea too: That we do not know enough about climate change to attempt something like Kyoto, and that all of the solid evidence available points to humanity’s innocence.

The climate has been changing long before the Industrial Age, and humans have had absolutely nothing to do with it. In fact, a warming period helped to bring Europe out of the Dark Ages. Why is it that we try to blame natural cycles on our Carbon Dioxide emissions? Some people even try to blame earthquakes on humanity. Many left leaning environmentalists seem to think that our recent sprees of intense hurricanes are being caused by human induced global warming. If these individuals had the common sense to do some historical meteorological research, they would discover that hurricane intensity is the result of purely natural cycles. 30 years ago the Gulf of Mexico was home to some very, very scary storms, however that particular cycle ended and the coast line began to be heavily developed. Now people are trying to find excuses for their own stupidity, and blaming modern technology has become quite popular.

Still, I am not pretending to know the answers. If for some reason it turns out climate change really is our fault, there are no simple solutions, despite what everyone says. Firstly, Kyoto is worthless to the point of hilarity. Even if the Pact was successfully implemented (which it won’t be) the impact on emissions will be miniscule. The economic consequences, however, will be enormous. Canadians seem to want action on global warming, but I’m willing to bet money that once the factories and plants start to shut down there will be a drastic change in heart. I also can’t seem to grasp why India and China have been given such leeway? I don’t care that they are developing countries. Here is a scenario for ya: If we adopt Kyoto, our economy will go into a major recession. But wait, global emissions will continue to rise. Why do you ask? Because India and China will pick up the slack. Than the pinko commie, development assistance happy lefties will demand that we provide aid to India and China so that they can bring their own emissions under control. Unfortunately, our economy collapsed because we decided to act on flimsy junk science

The idiocy of our climate change policy makes me want to vomit-preferably all over the face of Leonardo Dicaprio or some other hippie activist celebrity. We have to learn to adapt to our changing world. We cannot halt or even put a dent in global warming; it is probably not even our fault. Instead, we are just going to have live with it. In other words, grow up people.

The Conservative Party is correct in the notion that Kyoto is not right for Canada. Provinces should be able to negotiate with Ottawa their own emissions control regime. Canada just has to look America. There the States, not the Federal government, has taken the lead. Guess What? The U.S. is so far ahead of us its amazing.
