Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his international colleagues have not gone far enough to avoid “dangerous” climate change, according to an Environment Canada report that could cause problems for the Conservatives on the campaign trail.
The study, published this week in a leading science journal, suggests that global greenhouse gas emissions “must ramp down to zero immediately” to avoid a 2 C rise in the planetary temperature this century. Allowing temperatures to climb more than 2 C could wipe out thousands of species, melt Arctic ice and trigger a rise in sea level of several metres.
Bull Shit, Stephen Harper should be sacked immediately.

Flash back… The Liberals signed us up for Kyoto….
I have voted liberal, federally, since 1972 but if Harper is against a carbon tax and Ignatieff is for one, then I would vote Conservative.
The single issue that transcends all others.
Iggy is an idiot. If elected, he’ll have us riding horses and heating our homes with animal dung to save the world from a nonexistant, imaginary problem called global warming. Politicians catering to the green movement are nothing but fascists.
Is it me? Or is this the most alarmist, neo-primative, peer reviewed article yet?
I mean ramp down to zero emissions immediately? Thousands of the species will be extinct?
Call off the disaster. Representative Polis has informed the world today that China has begun a cap and trade program. We’re all saved because we know the Chinese never bullshit useful idiot pols in the West.
Peace for our time
Nice graph. What’s your take on this plot? Perhaps it helps explain the relative stasis in temperature for a decade?
