Study calls for massive carbon tax | Canada | News | Woodstock Sentinel Review

OTTAWA  - A left-wing think-tank is out with a new report calling for an expensive “green industrial revolution” in hopes of eventually reducing Canada’s carbon emissions to near zero by mid-century.

EU Climate Czar Connie Hedegaard Warns Carriers To Submit Data – Or Face Enforcement Action!

I must comment on this. The CCPA is a bunch of crypto communists who polish their socialist policies with a veneer of "academia".

Does anyone remember the 1970's when all politicians were going t omake their bailliwick the "Silicon Valley Wherever"? ... now it is "Leadership of the Green Economy". Lies, BS and fraud.
