On Thursday Diane
Francis had a commentary in the National Post entitled, “Canada is a giant
carbon sink. Why are we not getting credit for it?”
In it she noted that the
Paris Accord Agreement exempted ... the world’s biggest polluters ...
And that we ... would
not have any net emissions if its gigantic “carbon sink” — its inventory of
forests, muskeg, water and soil assets that absorb carbon — were taken into
consideration ...
I am not being critical;
however, I do not believe it was really necessary to take 623 words to tell us
what we already know. Additionally we apparently do not have the capacity to
stay with, and comprehend, anything that long
In doing a Google search this morning, I
found out this morning that Microsoft did a study which indicated that ... the
average human
being now has an attention span
of eight seconds. This is a sharp decrease from the average
attention span
of 12 seconds in the year 2000.
Gaaahhhkkk ... how on
earth does anything get boiled do to mere seconds? Can’t be done but I’ll do my
best to keep it short and sweet.
The reason we do not get
credit for what we already do towards environmentalism, and reducing greenhouse
gases through some of the best technologies in the world – and even for what
our vast forests, with BILLIONS and BILLIONS of trees, provide in natural carbon
absorption – can be stated in just 41 words.
Here they are:
We
don't get credit because it doesn't fit with the narrative of environmentalists,
who want to shut down our resource industry ... and our child Prime Minister
(Justin Trudeau) wants to be loved by all, and not have his feelings hurt.
It’s a
shame that ‘common sense’ isn’t so common any more.
