What Gerald Butts really thinks!

[AlbertaFarmer5]

The Conservatives also voted in favour of the paris climate deal which is here and now. What's your excuse for that decision?

Perhaps because cowardly signing on then ignoring with no intention of fulfilling it's impossible and unenforceable mandates, like virtually every other nation did also, was not only the politically popular thing to do, it was also economically the least damaging thing to do. As redleaf reaffirmed, the election cycle makes these long term commitments completely meaningless anyways. I was a fan of Harper for a long time, but cowardly acts such as that made me lose a lot of respect for him. Say what you will about Trump, but he is not a coward on issues such as this.

Yes Trump is a dinosaur trying to revive a dying coal industry when the economics of coal don't make sense any more. Gas is cheaper and cleaner. Not to mention solar and wind.

The WTF global warming thread is probably pushing 100 posts... haven't even checked it. Arguing on that front is like pissing into the wind. Doesn't matter what side you're on.

Yes it is wish full thinking! The alterative would be the end of agriculture for us in the north.
