For the record, this Canadian does not buy into the current climate change
religion. Sure the climate is changing. Always has been. I tend to subscribe
to the idea of Milankovitch Cycles and solar output. There seems to be more
and more dissenting scientists who are questioning the notion of
anthropogenic causes.

Anyway, the largest reservoir of liberal guilt is about to dry up and thank
God for that. The new conservative government is backing off from Kyoto,
which, as a taxpayer, I see as a good thing. Whatever one's opinion is on
the cause of climate change, I could never see the sense in paying huge sums
of money to third world and developing nations in the form of carbon credits
so that they can turn around and fund coal-fired electrical generating
plants. If we must spend huge sums of money, better to spend it on
R&D....just in case the doomsayers are correct in their apocalyptic
prognostications.
