Well. Steve is going to Copenhagen! I know I am totally jumping the gun here, but based on this report.... A White House official says President Barack Obama will travel to Copenhagen next month for a global climate conference. Recall Steve's whining just a few short weeks ago? Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s aides say he will attend a key climate change summit in Copenhagen next month, but...
Lawrence Solomon was interviewed by a believer of the church of kyoto and it shows. She also interviewed a chicken little. Listen here.

Environment Minister Jim Prentice’s remarks today to the effect that it will be years—years!—before the Canadian government implements regulations to cut greenhouse gas emissions have to be crushingly discouraging for anyone who regards climate change as an urgent problem. “The international policies, the North American policies, and Canada’s own policies, have to all...
