Come on people, didn't they say that humanity will reveal its true unity once our entire species' existence is on the line. Funny how politicians and everybody with the exception of a few hippie environmentalist are concerned about the welfare of our planet. Most of us just rather use the issue to make politically correct/incorrect statement to further our own agendas. Forget same sex marriage, Kyoto is the real controversy in our tiny parliament right now. Global Warming is real, and with the continuing trends of our abuse of mother Earth. Frankly, we are all fucked. Well, technically not all. I mean, my parents and grandparents will probably perish long before greenhouse gases destroy Earth's atmosphere. Who knows, if I am lucky, it might not happen within my lifetime too. My children, children's children? uhm..too bad for them. They'll figure it out somehow, not my problem.
Political BS aside, it is a fact that the Kyoto Accord are poorly constructed when implemented. Of course, the general population could care less about what is actually entailed in the accord. If its goal is to save the environment, it must be good. To bring some sense of reality back to the debate, a massive group of scientists calling themselves the Heidelberg Appeal have voiced their skepticism over the Kyoto Accord. Note the fact that they are not "politically conservative" scientists, just simply scientists who think the Kyoto Accord is not the best method to solve our little CO2 problem. I am a business student, so I just have to mention that the full implementation of Kyoto Accord in Canada under the unreasonably short allocated time will almost certainly leads to economic disaster. Either way, we've got more problems than we could handle. That's why we elect the upmost intelligent people into our political office to think for us. right? hopefully?
Now for some fun, enjoy this extremely biased story on the Conservatives and the Kyoto Accord. All in good political fun.
