Interview: Canada's decision to leave the Kyoto Protocol

Steven Guilbeault, co-founder of the Canadian NGO "Équiterre", talks about why it was no surprise that Canada decided to leave the Kyoto Protocol, what could have led to that decision, and what is now expected from other countries to keep on with the climate negotiation process.

@237Michael no shame on the usa for making us sick

[dandanwii]

My country should have a shame and stop trying to convince developed nations to reduce carbon emissions and adopt "greeny decisions". They clearly don't give a fuck about this. Countries in developing and sub-developed countries should adopt the same idea.

Shame, shame Canada!

@nigelelsass If you mean to say Canada is the worst country on earth in the case of climate change, I'm still not sure I agree 100% but I can definitely see where you're coming from.

I would point out that Steven Harper is the fuck up here. It may be the Canadian gov't that is effing this whole thing up, but not necessarily the Canadian people... We just voted that asshole into office.

@byronintegrated :???????? never heard of Jack Layton - had to google it.

@nigelelsass Canada has some of the best Universities in the world, why the slam, I know you know whats best for us, just let you look after our money and shut-up, eh! :)

I clicked your profile, nice big picture of Jack Layton, your a washed up hippie in downtown Toronto listening to Radio1 sipping on your green tea at your cubical for whichever government agency your employed by! DIon tried the green thing, everyone voted against it, we like heat that why we go south for vacation! :)

@nigelelsass Thank-you for your correction, my apologies, China is building one efficient coal plant a week!

I am glad Canada has your attention, it took us leaving for you to notice us! :(

What proud nation are you from?

On the positive, now you can focus on the real emitters, China, India and USA! Better use of your energy, if you have any hope of tackling your perceived problem! I guess you would of organized the deck chairs on the Titanic! :)
