would result in US national SAVINGS averaging $20 billion a year from now until 2020. GREEN meens jobs,less carbon,Its easy to look up, GREEDY, Immoral,corrupt or Ignorant people LIE? and are SUPPORTED by HARPER.
Some African nations has oil and does pollute adding to the the world supper polluters; but then the climate chage conference was to get the world to work together and find ways of reducing emissions eventually Re-tooling from oil generated energy sources to Renewable Energy sources,These process can take another 100-200yrs if we worked together but then its complicated becuase the world is busy exploring oil finds, diamond finds and other resources to be drilled or extracted from the Ground.
@MrSiyincaba 100 to 200 yrs. What conservative DING DONG did you hear that from.

MOney talks bullshit walks that what it is..it has been like that for this long and now Thats Alberta is becoming the next SAUDI ARABIA you can't stop Alberta from extracting the oil from the dirty tar sands and getting the already agreed PIPELINE deals with the US from Oil source to the refiniries in the US. Its a done deal to continue with polluting; the most powerful money Guru's, north American politicians and corporations are in on it..Thats the end of Saudi Arabia and more dirty air
What does this tell you; Canada running back home to Opt out of the Kyto Accord. Could'nt do it in Durban in front of the world. It does'nt supprise me now that Alberta tar sands is the next Saudi Arabia and more jobs will be created for the next 10-20yrs from Retail to manufacturing, to plastic,equipment to more pollution emissions. Africa needs to set up Funds to cope with Climate change Disasters that follows now or in the next 10-20 yrs and should be generated from Taxes.

Stephen Harper wins Fossil of the Year Award in Durban – 5th Colossal Fossil in a row December 9, 2011 – UN climate change conferences. Canadians in Durban, South Africa to accept the award, Canada's actions have become so egregious that they have been left behind, on the sidelines of global climate progress.
e•gre•gious 1. extraordinary in some BAD WAY; glaring; flagrant: an egregious mistake; an egregious liar.
5 years of HARPER seeing his "close ties" profit at worlds expence,
Kyoto was and is a sham. The climate is an open system, you cannot preserve an esoteric ballance of nature that never existed. The world is constantly changing, you cannot fight change, only adapt to it. Countries should focus on converting CO2 to Oxygen, not on shutting down industries and profiting upon the illegitimate trade of emission rights.
@Zamolxx GO TO Carbon Tax Center for what jackass Harper said is no good.
Canada was part of Kyoto for about 14yrs. In 2002 most countries sighned on and now there are 191 countries and HARPER is the ONLY leader defending polluters, The only leader stupid enough to support the tar sands which leaves tailing ponds the size of lakes where birds die within minutes of landing in them. Where down stream cancer is at very high unatural rate among the native population.
@Zamolxx The latest emissions calculations are now in for 2007 and Canada has exceed their Kyoto target by 34.2%. By 2012 Canada has committed to meet a Kyoto target of 556.5 Mt of greenhouse gas emissions, but since 1990 has risen steadily topping 747 Mt in 2007. HARPER as on the news has ties to the oil industry lies through his teeth. China is the biggest producer of solar panels in the world, their covering high rises with them. Canada is over 40yrs behind europe. Canada,China and US??

posed reducing carbon emissions from U.S. electric power
generation 60 percent by 2020. This proposal centers on
a shift to more energy-efficient power generation equipment,
the use of more-efficient household appliances and
industrial motors and other equipment, and in some situations
a shift from coal to natural gas. If implemented,
it would result in national savings averaging $20 billion a
year from now until 2020. WITCH MEENS HARPERS AN IDIOT protecting his FREINDS wealth.
tomuchbabble 2 months ago
Göran Persson are jointly urging the European Union to
adopt the 60-percent goal.2
A plan developed for Canada by the David Suzuki
Foundation and the Climate Action Network would
halve carbon emissions by 2030 and would do it only
with investments in energy efficiency that are profitable.
And in early April 2003, the World Wildlife Fund released
a peer-reviewed analysis by a team of scientists
tomuchbabble 2 months ago
National governments, local governments, corporations,
and environmental groups are coming up with
ambitious plans to cut carbon emissions. Prominent
among these is a plan developed by the British government
to reduce carbon emissions 60 percent by 2050, the
amount that scientists deem necessary to stabilize atmospheric
carbon dioxide (CO2) levels. Building on this,
