Canada at COP 15 climate talks - Day Eight

I didn't want to be accused of starting a thread that is allready going elsewhere, so I am writing this here instead.This is about the events unfolding at the COP 15 climate summit in Copenhagen.

Tuesday Dec 14 2009 - Day Eight:

Canada has just announced, at the COP 15 summit in Copenhagen, that the TAR SANDS emissions will increase by 37% and that our other major industrial sources of CO2 will increase by smaller amounts.

No reductions at all before 2020, just increases, that is Canada's climate team's position.

Yesterday, Industry Minister Jim Prentice announced that "Canada would not be ready to sign ANY AGREEMENT for at least one more year". 

Questions of morality come up at this point, with "the right to exist" Versus "lost profits of certain industries but not all industries" - the Island nation of Tuvalu Vs. Canada's oil patch. With Canada increasing emissions there will be more warming, and that could mean that the Island of Tuvalu will be underwater within 50 to 100 years.

 One will be underwater, and the other might lose some money on energy projects that might easily be replaced with other profitable energy projects.

 Utter disaster Vs. economic concerns.... our inaction on emissions reductions is going to wipe them out, so we are in the wrong here.

  As for the deniers, this thread isn't really of any interest to you, and we know your position, so I don't see any need for you to reply to this, eh? Ahhh, go ahead, what the heck, you seem to be in the majority anyway. Just remember to hold your hand up as a denier when climate change and global warming become evident.
