Kyoto will make the gun registry look like chump change

Kyoto already a big failure -- SCIENTISTS SUGGEST MAN-MADE EMISSIONS HAVE NO IMPACT, WRITES PETER WORTHINGTON

In other words, global warming is a myth. A political ploy.

The $10 billion that Canada supposedly will have to invest to live up to its pledge to reduce emissions 6% lower than they were in 1990, is not only unnecessary, but folly if we go through with it.

A 23-minute video has been prepared by the University of Calgary in co-operation with the non-profit Friends of Science Society that deserves to be seen by all Canadians.

Prof. Tim Patterson, a paleoclimatologist from Carleton University, speaks for some 50 scientists who've contributed to the research. He puts it succinctly: "In the eight years since the Kyoto Protocol was introduced, there has been a revolution in climate science. If, back in the mid-1990s, we knew what we know today about climate, Kyoto would not exist because we would have concluded it was not necessary." [. . . . ]

Kyoto -- just one example of a company helping clean up the environment without needing to get into the faceless international bureaucracy of trading carbon credits which would be susceptible to financial shenanigans. It would make the gun registry look like child's play when it comes to going 'over budget'. Who's going to check offshore when they can't even check properly here?

From a Google search, up came a link to Vizon SciTec (www.vizonscitec.com); it may be a subsidiary or somehow part of VisonSciTec . I did not have enough time to check the site well, so check the rest for yourself.
