There's a lot of hot air being released up here about the Kyoto Accord. What the supproters of this glob of hooey don't stop to consider:

Canada's total contribution to global Greenhouse gasses = Less than 2%
Portion of Canada's contribution due to human activity = Approximately 1%
Global reduction of Greenhouse Gas derived from [u]total[/u] shutdown of all human activity in Canada = Less than 1%

This planet goes through climatic cycles, independant of human activity. 30 years ago, the same airheads who promote Kyoto were screaming about an impending Ice Age! (Look it up). Archeological examination of former Viking settlements established around AD 980 - 1000 suggest that the eastern seaboard of North America was significantly warmer than it is now, long before there was any industrial activity anywhere in the world,

Kyoto is not about saving the planet. Kyoto is about transferring huge amounts of money and jobs to countries that are contributing much of the pollution, but are not required to clean that up.

Carbon dioxide is much less of a hazard to life than the real toxins that Kyoto threatens to divert resources away from cleaning up.
