'Lack of climate change consensus' puts feds, Alta. on collision course

The scientific debate on climate change is far from settled. There is no scientific consensus on the extent to which man-made emissions of carbon dioxide are affecting the climate, on what the ultimate effects of warming will be, on how quickly warming will occur, and on what policy-makers should do to address it. With so much left unsettled, we need an honest and comprehensive discussion on what reasonable options we as a nation, will pursue.

A national cap-and-trade program is not in Canada's interest, and it is certainly not in Alberta's interest.  A study by TD Bank, in conjunction with the David Suzuki Foundation, found that immediate aggressive action to curb carbon dioxide emissions would be "the biggest fiscal shock in Canadian history."
