(Canadian) Scientists urge Canada to act now to halt global warming

Ninety top scientists in Canada pressed Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who is hostile to the Kyoto Protocol, to tackle climate change now or risk devastating consequences for the country.

"We urge you and your government to develop an effective national strategy to deal with the many important aspects of climate that will affect both Canada and the world in the near future," they said in an open letter to the prime minister.

The letter was posted on the website of the Canadian Foundation for Climate and Atmospheric Sciences.

Harper said earlier this month his Conservative government would roll out its "own approaches" that will address both greenhouse gas emissions and other air pollutants, but offered no details.

With our luck, Harper will whip up a bill to illegalize ecological responsibility in Canada, then challenge the other parties to vote against him and go into an election.

The really sad part is that, according to polls I've seen, a lot of Canadians are buying his crock of shit. Which goes to show ya, Canadians can be just as dumb as the Bushbots.
