Canada pulls out of Kyoto protocol

Potent News Editor’s note:  I put this in the “victories” category of the Potent News website but it should be noted that while it is good that Canada is exiting Kyoto it appears to be doing so for the wrong reasons because one hoax still seems to be alive and well – people still believe CO2 (what you exhale) is that bad for the environment.  It seems like Canada is exiting because they don’t feel the protocol covers enough countries.  Our leaders want everybody to be punished, not just Canada, even though in reality nobody should be punished, clearly, since this is a hoax.  For more info on that CO2 hoax visit Climate Depot.

The Canadian environment minister, Peter Kent, said Canada was invoking its legal right to withdraw. Kyoto did not represent the way forward for Canada or the world, he said.

Canada, Japan and Russia said last year they would not accept new Kyoto commitments, but Canada is the only country to repudiate it altogether.

The protocol, initially adopted in Kyoto, Japan, in 1997, is aimed at fighting global warming. Canada’s previous Liberal government signed the accord but did little to implement it and current prime minister Stephen Harper’s Conservative government never embraced it.

“The Kyoto protocol does not cover the world’s largest two emitters, the United States and China, and therefore cannot work,” Kent said. “It’s now clear that Kyoto is not the path forward to a global solution to climate change. If anything it’s an impediment.”
