Climate Change Accountability Act finally on its way to the Senate

New Democrat climate change bill passes House of Commons | NDP

OTTAWA – Today [May 5, 2010], the New Democrat Climate Change Accountability Act (Bill
C-311) passed its final vote in the House of Commons by a vote of 149
to 136.

“It is a great day for Canada as we finally have a blueprint for
greening our future,” said New Democrat Leader Jack Layton. “We would
not be here without the thousands of Canadians who called and wrote to
their Members of Parliament, pushing them to finally adopt meaningful
climate-change legislation.”

“It’s been a lot of work with a lot of ups and downs,” said Bruce Hyer
(Thunder Bay–Superior North), who introduced the bill in the House. “But
finally Canada will be on its way to having clear regulations and
frameworks for fighting climate change. We can at least hold our heads
up high in the international community.”

Harper Continues to Not Give a Toss About Climate Change

WTF? Harper ditches Summit on Climate Change! | The Skwib

So let’s be clear about this. A hundred world leaders gather at the UN to discuss climate change, and our PM decides to meet with the mayor of New York instead?

Lest you have any trouble deciphering the hidden message, Harper is saying: “I don’t give a shit about this so-called climate change thing.” He’s not even going through the motions.

Stephen Harper: A Mistake Canada Must Never Repeat

Stephen Harper, at the wrap up of the Commonwealth Summit, described the Kyoto Accord as a mistake the world must never repeat. What shame and embarrassment Harper has brought to Canada - a country whose majority supports the Kyoto Accord and firm action on climate change.
I say that Harper is a mistake that Canadians must never repeat.

Let's vote him out now and have a new election. The Conservatives have done so much damage to Canada and have such a terrible record now, that it would be impossible for them to be re-elected even as a minority government. Pressure your MP (hint: Liberals) to kick out the Conservatives now.


Addendum
Opposition members call Harper an "environmental criminal", a "saboteur" and "an international pariah".

Yet Another Reason to Kick The Buttheads Out!

Stephen Harper is embarrassing Canada yet again, this time in the Commonwealth meeting by holding out against the other countries (I don't count Australia because it seems that today their government will change to a pro-environment government) aim to come up with binding targets for fighting pollution that contributes to Climate Change.

Stephen Harper and his Conservative government are pro-pollution, there is no other way to put it. Lets kick them out now before they do further damage to Canada, and our reputation in the world. (Take a hint Liberals - when you are against a confidence motion, you vote AGAINST it - not sit on your thumbs while Canada burns!)

Fave recent quote in Question Period - when Gilles Duceppe called the Minister of the Environment "the Minister of Pollution and Oil Companies".

Climate Change Updates

In today's Toronto Star, experts are saying that the Arctic Ocean is melting much faster than even the worst predictions. And this faster melting could cause an acceleration of global warming.

There is also an excellent post from Monbiot about how governments are using outdated science in calculating global warming issues, and how this is going to affect us.
