Cpal, thought you might like to know how much progress Canada is making in keeping up with its Kyoto Treaty obligations. Under Kyoto, Canada agreed to cut its CO2 emission by 6 percent from 1990 levels. In 1990, Canada's CO2 emissions totaled 430.2 million metric tons. It's Kyoto target is 404.4 million metric tons. In 2004 Canadian C02 emissions totaled 560.3 million metric tons, 30.2 percent ABOVE 1990 levels and 38.6 percent above the Kyoto commitment. What gives?

Incidentially, between 1990 and 2004, U.S. C02 emission are up, but only 22 percent, not 30.2. Just so you know, the U.S. population over this period increased by 15 percent, while Canada's grew by only 13.

Did Canada sign on to Kyoto just so all of you liberals would feel good about yourselves while you criticize the U.S? Or are you just generating that much more hot air?

Cheers!
