Canadian Pollution Regulation Likely a CO2 Abdication

This kite in the National Postย  today suggests that the Conservative government of Stephen Harper plans to introduce a โ€œmade in Canadaโ€ Kyoto plan that has almost nothing to do with CO2.
According to the Post story – no doubt leaked to the Tories favourite paper so they could test public reaction – the new legislation will get tough on the air pollution elements that make Toronto smoggy, and at times dangerous.
But the Post reports that โ€œwhile the government will be clear about its goals for air pollution, it is likely to be more nuanced on its plans for climate change.โ€
โ€œNuancedโ€? Oxford suggests that nuance means โ€œa subtle difference or shade of meaning.โ€ But all the signs point to the Tories continuing to deny the urgency or action on greenhouse gases.
See the next post for a sense of the current government’s spin on climate science.
