KYOTO again

[parsley]

1. This discussion was never about whether emmissions should decrease. Of course they should, cottonpickin. This discussion is about how best to do it. That being said:

1.Could we agree that the Kyoto approach resulted in unacceptable emmissions?

2. If Al Gore represents the voice of environmentalists, then he shouldn't claim emmissions/pollution 'alters the balance of energy between our planet and the rest of the universe', because scientists/folks start to say,really, I didn't know that, show me the studies.

There are no studies showing the relationship between energy and the galaxies,/planets etc.

Gore uses stupid hype in his presentations and that results in a lack of credibility.

3. You live in Saskatchewan, if I recall. What suggestions do you have about SaskPower as the #3 polluter in Canada?

4.Stephane Dion had the environment portfolio and he did nothing.

5. What new direction would you like cottonpickin/Sasktatchewan/Canada heading for? If you feel so strongly cottonpickin, you should do more than piss and shout.

I guess every movie that is made is the absolute truth and nothing but the truth?

Michael Moore, Oliver Stone, and now Al Gore.

Uhhh right.

[FarmRanger]

...and a movie made by a failed politician definitely wouldn't ever have any intention of misleading the public.

Instead of banging your head against a wall, maybe try giving it a shake.

Cottonpicken don't let this thread bother you,
I hear the Flat Earth Society is looking for new members and I think Parsley and his pals would fit in great!

[cowman]

Cottenpicken: There is nothing wrong with trying to clean up the environment. That is a very commendable thing to do.
Kyoto is not the answer. It is nothing more than a socialist wealth transfer.
The government(whoever they will be after the election) will do something. It probably will very inadequate, but at least a start?
Everyone of us can do our own little bit? And in reality that is about all we can do? On the 60 minutes show Al Gore spoke about this? In his own personal case he has changed his house to use less energy, insulation, lights bulbs, furnace filter? He claims those acts alone...by every household...will be the equivalent of hundreds of thousands of cars! If we all do our part we can turn things around...but we have to start personally.

mustardman,

One suggestion for farms, your farm too, would be that creeks, large slough areas, good sized bushes etc, could be 'satellite-carbonated',if you know what I mean, and those carbon credits would be reflected on your tax notice as a tax credit for you.

Parsley ,
having to buy carbon credits is simply the working of the free market. If you are a C02 emmitter you will be fined (in other words ,having to buycredits)

If you are constantly having to fork out money to buy credits, Do you not think that maybe as a businessman you would clean up your plant so as not to emit as much ?
Yes you would.

[mustardman]

Back again- I do agree that the liberal gov't signed on and didn't do squat about emmisions after that. I hope the conservatives will but right now they are simply borrowing their "green platform " from liberal ideas.
Someone once said "conservatives are simply liberals in a hurry! "

I hope they do hurry.

Yes our zero tilled land has value in carbon credits- actually if Canada was still in Kyota it would be worth a whole lot more per acre than now.

[cottonpicken]

Parsly i'm begging you and everyone else to watch it.

Your opinon of gore will change.

Your opinion of what is happening will change.

Has anyone here watched it?
What are your thoughts?
