The sky is not falling
A good thread on the hoax that is Kyoto.

Left oand Right on global warming
At last, the reason why leftists can’t see the global forest for the trees.

Truth is painful
The global warmists, including Al Gore, hardly ever let facts get in the way of their chicken little theories. Hundreds of scientists who don’t agree don’t deter them either.
Professor Bob Carter of the Marine Geophysical Laboratory at James Cook University, in Australia gives what, for many Canadians, is a surprising assessment: “Gore’s circumstantial arguments are so weak that they are pathetic. It is simply incredible that they, and his film, are commanding public attention.”

Reduce, repeal and rescind
Here is an energy program you won’t read about happening anytime soon - or will you?
Prime Minister Harper needs an alternative to Kyoto. Just about everyone seems to agree that our government can’t just do nothing about greenhouse gas emissions.

No one knows
More proof that humans probably have no effect on the changing global temperatures.

No kidding on Kyoto
The most sensible thing said yet on Kyoto.
“‘Climate change is real’ is a meaningless phrase used repeatedly by activists to convince the public that a climate catastrophe is looming and humanity is the cause. Neither of these fears is justified.

Church of Kyoto
Mark doesn’t worship with the eco-cultists.
That’s the new buzz phrase these days: climate change. We’ve got to stop it, or change it back before it destroys the planet. And, if it doesn’t destroy the planet, circa 2011 the Kyotocrats will be citing lack of climate change as evidence of climate change.

Whither Kyoto
Mark provides an update on the latest eco-terrorists meeting.

Hybrid bunk
Wente drools (click Here Me Roar) over the latest yuppy craze: hybrids. Never mind that they don’t actually save much fuel.
So who am I to break the news that these hybrids might be a bit of a scam?
For example, that fabulous fuel efficiency they promise you can seldom be achieved by real people driving on real roads

Activist weatherman
It seems just forecasting the weather isn’t enough for David. He just can’t stop beating the Kyoto drum. It’s getting tired, Dave. Put a lid on it and keep guessing the weather.
Canadians can expect to be living in a much different environment in the near future as the earth’s temperature continues to rise and climate change becomes more linked to wild weather, says a senior climatologist.

Flat earth society
Ride the GO train, save Texas - so says our minister of cities.
He even argues that riding the subway instead of vehicles that run on fossil fuels — thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions — could help take the sting out of a hurricane.
“When we encourage people to take public transit, we’re also addressing these issues of more intense hurricanes,” Godfrey said. “We’ve got to connect all those dots for people.”
The scarier thing is that the majority of Canadians actually believe him. How sad - and dangerous.

Kyoto is dead
Keith notes that Kyoto is, for all intents and purposes, dead.
The bell continues to toll for Kyoto. Could someone please inform the government of Canada?

Realism trumps farce
A realistic plan to lower pollution has been reached, but you’d never notice in the left wing media.
This week’s environment agreement between the US and five Asia-Pacific states sets a strong alternative to Kyoto. The surprise deal includes China and India, whose output is largely unaffected by Kyoto. The six countries in the new deal, China, India, South Korea, Japan, Australia and the US account for nearly half of world greenhouse gas emissions.
Maybe Canada should sign on, since it won’t even come close to the Kyoto targets anyway.

Shaky foundation
Apparently, the house that Kyoto built is based on
a pile of manure. Let’s hope it sinks quietly into the abyss before it gets build too high.

You can’t see it
A story the government doesn’t want you to see about the outright lie that is Kyoto.

A ton of
...crap is spewed out of Mercer’s one ton challenge voodoo-science ads.
The Liberal government has doled out more than $26 million in a dubious two-year advertising blitz to convince Canadians to cut pollution - including an $85,000 commercial fee for comedian Rick Mercer, Sun Media has learned
Doesn’t this make you mad, as you write out your big tax checks in this -10C weather?
How much longer are the sheeple of Canada going to fall for this pack of lies? Shut up then and go turn down your furnace and put on your parka.

Kick at Kyoto
Worthington puts the boots to Kyoto - again.
Out of this “instinct” emerged the Kyoto Accord—the campaign to fight global warming which supposedly threatens the world, but is a myth.

Take that, Suzuki
More proof over at Kate’s blog that the Kyoto and the pollution propagandists are full of it.
The graph below shows that between 1970 and 2003, gross domestic product increased 176 percent, vehicle miles traveled increased 155 percent, energy consumption increased 45 percent, and U.S. population grew by 39 percent. During the same time period, total emissions of the six principal air pollutants dropped by 51 percent.

Harper will scrap Kyoto
Now that’s a plank I can jump up and down on.
A Conservative government would scrap adoption of the Kyoto international protocol on climate change, Leader Stephen Harper said today.

500 million just the beginning
An article in the Star stating the money spent on Kyoto up to now is just the beginning.
The $500 million that the government has already wasted is only a taste of things to come unless Prime Minister Paul Martin walks away from Kyoto.
Canada has already spent or allocated $3.7 billion on climate change boondoggles of various sorts, and is planning to throw another $1 billion from the sale of Petrocan into the same pit of bad policy.

Load of hot air
The Star letter an anti-Kyoto letter through.
The last sentence of your editorial was extraordinarily prescient: “Otherwise all the talk about putting an end to global warming will have been nothing but hot air.” Yes, indeed, that is all it has ever been. We could all die tomorrow, or return to the Stone Age and global warming would continue unabated. It is a natural phenomenon to which the human contribution is negligible.

Envirotruth Regarding Climate Change
An excellent website resource to help explode the myths behind Kyoto.
“There are many myths and misunderstandings related to the topic of climate change. To help inform the public debate, Envirotruth has amassed a list of the “Top Climate Change Myths” that we often hear cited by supporters of the Kyoto Accord and other greenhouse gas reduction treaties. Click on a myth below to read the “Envirotruth".”

Not because of us
Good to see another voice speaking out against the UN shell game known as Kyoto.
:neale:“There is no question there will be enormous consequences for the globe if it warms up 5.8 degrees (Celsius), but the probability of that happening as a result of human activity is zero,” said Cameron.

Financial sinkhole
Jay at Freedom has an entry entitled “Another Boondoggle in its Embryonic Stage”. Looks like another tax black hole is about to open in Ottawa.
To paraphrase the great Mark Steyn; boondoggle-wise think of the gun registry as a National Film Board Short and Kyoto as Waterworld.

Not the end of oil
Special thanks to Trudeaupia’s entry for setting me on to J Simon’s works, including this chapter in particular.
“Known reserves” are much like the food we put into our cupboards at home. We stock enough groceries for a few weeks or days - not so much that we will be carrying a heavy unneeded inventory that bulges the cupboard and ties up an unnecessary amount of money in groceries, and not so little that we may run out if an unexpected event - a guest or a blizzard - should descend upon us. The amount of food in our cupboards tells little or nothing about the scarcity of food in our communities, because as a rule it does not reveal how much food is available in the retail stores. Similarly, the oil in the “cupboard” - the quantity of known reserves - tells us nothing about the quantities of
oil that can be obtained in the long run at various extraction costs.This explains why the quantity of known reserves, as if by a miracle of coincidence, stays just a step ahead of demand, as seen in figure 11-5. An elderly man commented to me in the 1970s that, according to the news stories about known reserves, “we’ve been just about to run out of oil ever since I’ve been a boy.” Yet most discussions of the oil and energy situation - among laymen and also among the most respected journalists - still focus on known reserves.
