Does anyone find it odd that a cold weather country like Canada cares about "Global Warming"? Just go to Arizona or Florida in the wintertime they are full of Canadians escaping the deep freeze.

Also Canadians use more fuel per person than Americans because of the long cold winters. So if "Global Warming" is real and caused by mans Co2 (I doubt it) the warmer winters in Canada will reduce the amount fuel burned for heating. This will reduce man made Co2 output. So "Global Warming" is self correcting.

The Kyoto framework is not about reducing global Co2 output. It is a trading system that allows industrialized countries to "buy" emissions credits from third world countries. The effect is a global welfare system under the guise of stopping "Global Warming".

Suckers!

That's the reason - the only reason - I oppose Kyoto. I would strongly support it if it wasn't a bureaucratic, high-cost nightmare...$10 billion (more likely $100 billion) is just too much money for something that may not work!!!

Absolutely, positively, 100% right on.
