June 19, 2006: Kyoto, Activists, Dhaliwal, Taxpayers -&- Memory Lane

Nota Bene:

* Sidebar may be missing from the left: The template is all right in Firefox but not with MS Explorer browser. I haven't touched it but ... there goes the sidebar with the list of posts again. Check the bottom for it and for the archives.

* Lately, it has become more and more difficult to publish anything adequately on Blogger. Sometimes, I cannot even get into it, cannot post or cannot bring up my own blog after publishing. Things disappear in other areas too.

* Other times, when I put posts up, even before I publish them, links may magically, completely change, be corrupted or disappear. It happened this weekend again.

* Get 'em before the Gremlins do. Are these Google Gremlins or something entirely more sinister?

* Note another link changed. [in orange]


Kyoto, Activists, Dhaliwal .......... & Taxpayers will take up the slack

Scientists respond to Gore's warnings of climate catastrophe -- On Gore's film: "The Inconvenient Truth" is indeed inconvenient to alarmists
Gore's activism, "The man is an embarrassment to US science and its many fine practitioners, a lot of whom know (but feel unable to state publicly) that his propaganda crusade is mostly based on junk science." By Tom Harris, Monday, June 12, 2006. h/t newsbeat1

www.canadafreepress.com/2006/harris061206.htm

Tom Harris is mechanical engineer and Ottawa Director of High Park Group, a public affairs and public policy company. He can be reached at letters@canadafreepress.com

[....] In April sixty of the world's leading experts in the field asked Prime Minister Harper to order a thorough public review of the science of climate change, something that has never happened in Canada. Considering what's at stake - either the end of civilization, if you believe Gore, or a waste of billions of dollars, if you believe his opponents - it seems like a reasonable request.

Would someone give this to Ms. Watt-Cloutier, Chair, Inuit Circumpolar Conference, (Ms. Watt-Cloutier oversaw the administration of the Inuit land-claims body established under the James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement) and to the rest of the Liberal climate change / Kyoto Accord promotion band of [undoubtedly, taxpayer-funded ] activists?

The short form:

What were those Liberal government statements and promises about Kyoto before, during and after the Jan. 23, 06 election?

I found this on the way to something else -- very interesting.

Search: [Herb] Dhaliwal

Office of the Auditor General of Canada -- re: respecting federal tax and other subsidies to the oil and gas industry

But note this, taxpayers of Canada; it was not mentioned in the election campaign nor in all the Kyoto talk, was it?

13 Letter to CAPP from the Hon. Herb Dhaliwal dated December 18, 2002. That the public will cover the difference is in our view implicit in the letter, given the government commitment to shield oil and gas from higher costs.


On the taxpayers' backs ......... how liberal of Mr. Dhaliwal and friends.


End of that section: the long form may come later. I have run out of time.
