Canadian Prime Minister Knows Socialism When He Sees It

According to Investors Business Daily, Canadian Prime Minister Harper catches the "heat" of global warming disciples for daring to question their orthodoxy:

Opponents of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who heads Canada's minority conservative government, have seized upon remarks he made in a 2002 fundraising letter to blast his leadership on the issue of climate change.

In that letter, Harper described the Kyoto Protocol as 'a socialist scheme to suck money out of wealth-producing nations.' He voiced his support for the 'campaign to block the job-killing, economy-destroying Kyoto accord,' an agreement he said was 'based on tentative and contradictory scientific evidence about climate trends.'


So is Harper just another Right-wing radical?

Agreeing with him are 60 leading scientists who in April wrote Harper an open letter, published in the Canadian Financial Post, asking him to keep his pledge to review Canada's commitment to the Kyoto Protocol.

"Global climate," said the scientists, "changes all the time due to natural causes, and the human impact still remains impossible to distinguish from this natural 'noise.'

"If, back in the mid-1990s, we knew what we know today about climate, Kyoto would almost certainly not exist because we would have concluded it was not necessary."

They add that "activists (attempt) to convince the public that a climate catastrophe is looming and humanity is the cause. Neither of these fears is justified."


The US has also caught the heat of international global warming disciples for not hopping onboard the Kyoto Train. So how are those riding the Kyoto Train doing in reducing these evil emissions?

Kyoto committed Canada to cutting emissions of greenhouse gases by 6% from 1990 levels by 2012. Emissions are about 35% above the target and continue to rise. It's a nearly impossible job. The European Union, which made similar pledges, has failed to meet its targets. Its CO2 emissions are rising twice as fast as those of the heretical U.S. since Kyoto.


So is Kyoto Marxist?

Karl Marx once said the goal of communism was a system that extracted from each according to his ability to give to each according to his need. Come to think of it, Kyoto says the same thing.
