Freddy Hutter ... on the Environment

Sept 22nd: In short, beware of false prophets. The gloom merchants that would have Yukoners believe that catastrophic events will befall us and the rest of the globe. While we dearly need advice on timelines, mitigation and training with respect to new construction methods wrt infrastructure, we are besieged weekly by alarmist emails from the Northern Climate ExChange that describe flooding oceans, melting ice caps and blaming everything (hurricanes, earthquakes, hot spells, cold spells, wet seasons, dry seasons, etc etc all on global warming.

And their fav target is the Conservative Gov't. The one that is thrashing the Kyoto Protocol.

Why do we have a greenhouse gas problem. It is partly because of this same vocal group. I call them the Coalition of Anti's. They seem to be "anti everything" but never offer up their own solutions to issues. This green group won alotta battles and ultimately lost the war. They are responsible for the shut down of the budding nuclear industry in the 70's & 80's. Because they were scared sh*tless of meltdowns. And forgeddabout those hydro-electric dams. With an ever growing population, each nation had to make up electrical production demand instead with coal, oil & natural gas. Carbon emissions exploded across the globe. And now those same greenies want us to shut down these coal, gas & diesel facilities and go ... nuclear. They have little credibiity.

And it gets worse. Their false god ... the Kyoto Protocol. High emission user nations pay the low ones. In our case, to meet the 2012 targets, we can shut down Metro Toronto or pay Russian $7-Billion for carbon credits. $7-billion that should be used for hospitals, education or paying down the National Debt of $490 Billion ... goes to Russia's general revenues. And at this point, it begs the question "isn't it worth it to save the Earth? Well here's the scary part. If every one of the 67 countries that signed up to Kyoto all do their part, the UN has determined that the rise in ocean levels of 26cm by 2100AD, the increase in temp's by 2.3C by 2100AD, the increase in hurricanes by 2100AD ... all this and more ... is merely postponed to 2007. Seven years. And for Canadians we have that satisfaction for $7-Billion. And the Liberal Party and the NDP and the Green Party are all ok with that. Thank goodness we had Regime Change in January and clearer heads will prevail.
