They are another Fraser Institute ... You tell them what findings you need and they find them. A more reputable poll showed that the majority of Canadians want action on climate change, and want Canada to have it's own plan, not follow the U.S.<br /><br />"But 64 per cent of respondents to a Canadian Press Harris-Decima survey said rich nations have a responsibility to commit to higher and harder targets than developing countries.<br /><br />Most also want to see a binding agreement come out of Copenhagen, and 81 per cent said Canada should act independently of the United States."<br /><br />If we don't take action, we could face trade sanctions or tariffs, which won't help our economy at all.<br /><br />Now the Conservatives could take a stronger position denying global warming, which will make Canada even more of a laughing stock. Or they could listen to the scientists.<br /><br />'Truthers' use various documents to 'prove' that 9/11 was not a terrorist attack. They are called conspiracy theorists. Can you imagine if our government used that to denounce the War on Terror?<br /><br />'Deniers' are doing the same thing.<br /><br />It's tough sometimes to make a call, but you always have to ask yourself 'but what if I'm wrong?' and then imagine the consequences.Emily Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08354341672810615468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7180592942896724433.post-84092296112204320902009-12-17T22:18:45.211-05:002009-12-17T22:18:45.211-05:00You might want to read this poll: http://www.compa...You might want to read this poll: http://www.compas.ca/data/091209-ClimateChangeForFCPP-P.pdf<br /><br />Only 27% of Canadians share your view, although the majority believe global warming is a significant problem (still, 40% disagree).<br /><br />It is possible some of the Conservative losses have been because they haven't taken a strong enough position denying global warming to satisfy their base...amazing!Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11587767844074050616noreply@blogger.com
