Hey, I’ve got a great idea. Let’s enter a treaty that regulates air! If we use too many light bulbs, then we can pay a penalty! Wow! What a swell idea! Nothing like forced wealth redistribution on a global scale! When you get down to it, that’s global communism! And if you notice something else, these are always leftist ideas. Thank goodness for Prime Minister Harper.

Canada, the country furthest from meeting its commitment to cut carbon emissions under the Kyoto Protocol, may save as much as $6.7 billion by exiting the global climate change agreement and not paying for offset credits.

The country’s greenhouse-gas emissions are almost a third higher than 1990 levels, and it has a 6 percent CO2 reduction target for the end of 2012. If it couldn’t meet its goal, Canada would have to buy carbon credits, under the rules of the legally binding treaty.

Hey, that’s global cap and trade! You know, this is also Barack Obama’s vision. He wants us to be in that treaty, and here’s the bonus, he wants cap and trade here, on a national level too. So if he got his way, we’d be redistributing our wealth and imposing costly regulations not once, but twice! Brilliant!

Canada, which has the world’s third-largest proven oil reserves, would be the first of 191 signatories to the Kyoto Protocol to annul its emission-reduction obligations. While Environment Minister Peter Kent declined to confirm Nov. 28 that Canada is preparing to pull out of Kyoto, which may ease the burden for oil-sands producers and coal-burning utilities, he said the government wouldn’t make further commitments to it.

Good for Canada. Pull out of that ridiculous treaty and unchain that anchor around your neck before you jump in the pool.

That idiocy was started because most everyone fell for the hoax of global warming, and as we all know now, like a lot of us did then, there is no such thing and the data was manipulated and fraudulent anyway, to push a political agenda.
