There is nothing about carbon emission reductions that has anything to do with ‘saving the planet’ … that is hokum

Thanks to Statistics Canada, Wikipedia, and reader Ollie Waschuk, a retired teacher, there would appear to be sufficient evidence to put forward the argument that Canada should be selling carbon credits to other countries, and using that money to relieve Canadians of some of their tax burden.

We are virtually without sin when it comes to the net result of carbon arithmetic. In fact, Canada should be given credit for chewing up a goodly portion of the world’s carbon emissions, and not just for absorbing all of our own.

 

There is nothing about carbon emission reductions that has anything to do with ‘saving the planet’.

That is hokum.

The original plan, the Kyoto Accord, was a sham designed to move billions of dollars from first world nations to third world nations.  Like any other scam, the precept had to be simple and plausible.

First, the Intergovermental Climate Change Panel (IPCC) had to prove that global warming was due to human activity.

Second, the IPCC has to show that global warming was rapidly increasing and required immediate counteraction.

Third, the IPCC had to set standards for emission reductions that were not possible to achieve.

Fourth, the IPCC had to set up heavy fines for nations that failed to comply.

The framework was duly set up, but could not reach the ratification standards it set up.

When the Kyoto Accord was set to expire due to lack of participation, the IPCC offered special rates to Iceland and Russia – not much different from a car dealer selling off last year’s models at deep discounts. So much for ethics and integrity.

Canada’s carbon taxes are purely political.

Trudeau has an illusion of becoming a power within the UN and effectively moving up in the order of governance over us overtaxed peons. He has the chances of a snowball in the tropics. The power players at the UN don’t even consider him a bantamweight.
