This is someone who gets it…

CBC News (Canada) reports on the current Prime Minister of Canada’s opinion of the Kyoto Treaty controlling climate change. His view in 2002 is EXACTLY that of mine today:

Prime Minister Stephen Harper once called the Kyoto accord a "socialist scheme" designed to suck money out of rich countries, according to a letter leaked Tuesday by the Liberals.

Amen brother! Don’t forget, when that money is "sucked out", it will mostly come from Joe and Jane Sixpack’s wallets in the form of escalated energy costs. The story notes Harper wrote of the treaty

that it’s based on "tentative and contradictory scientific evidence" and it focuses on carbon dioxide, which is "essential to life."

He says Kyoto requires that Canada make significant cuts in emissions, while countries like Russia, India and China face less of a burden.

The question now is whether he will stay true to his prior spoken beliefs and be a leader in the counterassault on this treaty that’s so bad, even the spineless invertebrates known as the US Senate haven’t approved it yet.
