Should Canadians commit economic suicide because they fear upcoming US climate fraud legislation?
The most immediate problem Canada faces from greenhouse gas emissions is economic rather than environmental. At least that was the message at a news conference on Thursday held to unveil a report from a government advisory body on carbon pricing.

Bob Page, the chairman of the National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy, said that if Canada does not introduce an effective, national carbon emissions control program, it will face potentially ruinous trade retaliation from the United States once Congress and the Obama administration introduce their own emissions control programs.

Also, the scientific evidence that the additional CO2 in the atmosphere has an appreciable influence on global temperature is by no means overwhelming. Indeed, as the SPPI’s Monthly CO2 Reports show, there is nothing unprecedented or unusual about the rate of increase in temperature over the 20th century, or about today’s temperatures, which are well below those of the medieval, Roman, and Minoan warm periods, 5 Fahrenheit degrees below temperatures over the past 10,000 years, 10 Fahrenheit degrees below temperatures in each of the past four interglacial periods, and 12.5 Fahrenheit degrees below the median global surface temperature over the past 600 million years. End of scare.
