Harper's Global Warming poison pill

Stephen Harper says he won't reduce our emissions unless China and India agree to do far more. Well it is true that China and India are turning into massive emitters of greenhouse gases, the so-called 'First-World' is the primary cause of global warming to date, and if we aren't doing enough to stop it, why should they? This is the disingenuous position Harper takes: We didn't do anything to solve the problem we caused, now we won't do anything unless you agree to solve our problem.

Of course, the response is predictable, expected and wanted by Harper: they are balking.

The elite Harper works for will be untouched by global warming's worst, having the money and influence to pick and chose where it is best to live and work.

Harper is playing chicken with our children's future, but he's likely to be dead before the worst hits.
