Day 10 - November 16, 2006

pod1    CANADA   can

Canada won the top fossil award for Minister Ambrose’s attempt to mislead the international community by claiming that her climate plan “recognizes the need for urgent action so that we can finally make progress towards out 2012 international obligations”. In reality, this “plan” repudiates Kyoto by delaying GHG regulations until late 2010 and allowing Canada’s emissions to stay above current levels until 2020 to 2025.
