With all this hot air being blown about it is no wonder the climate is changing. I still can't quite wrap my head around how any of this trading will help reduce the emissions of CO2 in any way shape or form in Canada. Just invest that money in technology here to clean up our act. Seems simple enough to me, and it will impact us here, both economically and by cleaning up our own mess. Am I missing something here? Besides the obvious things like the transfer of wealth. Speaking of which, how much of a commission do you think these "Emissions Trading Associations" make? I know they are not working for free to save our glorious planet. My enquiring mind would love to know.

Real Action Required
As most of you know, I am not a fan of the Kyoto Protocol. The main reason being, it allows countries to buy their way out of actually doing anything for the environment. That being said, I have no problem with PM Harper giving Allan Amey the BOOT as the people at CanWest News Service puts it. The reason is, as president of the Climate Fund Agency, his job would have been to purchase emission-reduction credits. I do not want one cent of Canadian tax payers money being spent anywhere but in Canada to improve our environment including for the reduction of CO2. I would next expect that this "Climate Fund Agency" will be scrapped completely by PMSH. My fingers are crossed. I know that Dion will be all up in arms over this one. It had his blessing back when he was the do nothing environment minister of the Liberal government in 2005. If you care to read how full of crap he was then, read this. How anyone in this country can agree with spending billions on so called Kyoto units that do not clean up a bloody thing is beyond me. The Clean Air Act, in my opinion, clearly does not go far enough. At the same time it does actually help in cleaning up pollution in Canada which is a good starting point. Now if we could only stop all the ranting and raving out there regarding the environment and sit down like adults and come up with more real solutions to fix the problems, we as a nation would be far better off.
