Look, I'll care or give a rat's ass about the so-called science when China stops building two (2) coal-fired power plants per week. I'll say again...per WEEK!

@davebagler it is not a solid science, there are just as many scientist that do not believe climate change is man made.

Instead of wasting time on CO2, which is needed by plants, we should be trying to stop cities from dumping raw sewage into our rivers and oceans. Victoria has a 6 foot pipe the goes 13 miles out to sea and dumps all their raw sewage into the pacific ocean. You never hear fatso say anything about that do you? Leave the tar sands alone we need fuel not fatso.

That was a very good speech. The challenge for the Greens is getting people to actually watch speeches and listen to long arguments in this age of short attention spans. Look at the ratings for this video - less than 150 people have watched it.

"climate change denier" is a rather popular label for those who deny the solid science behind climate change. I don't think that most people who use the term are trying to link it with holocaust deniers but that is interesting food for thought.

I think that you need to make citizens part of the solution to climate change. If you simply put in a plan that "punishes polluting corporations" I would worry that these corporations would simply pass the cost on to there customers.

I do not believe that we need a cap and trade carbon tax,I do believe we need to punish polluting corporations not the citizens. when she says climate change denier, is she trying to link those people with holocaust deniers? what a strange choice of words
