canada's kyoto plan
an assessment of canada's kyoto plan has been released and is available online here.
this assessment is a joint effort by canadian environmental law association, david suzuki foundation, environmental
defence, great lakes united, greenpeace, pembina institute for appropriate development, pollution probe, sierra legal defence fund, toronto environmental alliance, toxics watch society of alberta, and yukon conservation society.
the bottom line is that the plan is vague and there are no timelines or actual details as to how it will be implimented. for example, the plan requires 74% reduction from individual actions or through the use of their tax dollars, eventhough individuals are only responsible for 23% of emissions.
it's great that the government has actually released a plan, but it is totally inadequate and will not achieve the desired results.

I agree. Way too little way too late.
way too late is right. did anyone notice that it was 27 degrees in toronto yesterday?
hudson's bay region is melting three weeks earlier than it did three decades ago (sorry if i blogged this already). soon, polar bears will have one less month each year to find good routes for feeding.
and global warming works on a positive feedback loop...(thanks natural science) which means that once it starts, it only accelerates.
