Not sure how that takes away from what I'm trying to say.
I'm not going to deny that global warming is happening. Or that the climate is changing.
I'm just saying that while I agree with reducing emissions, becoming more efficient and not destroying our planet for the sake of advancing the human race, I do think we should be reasonable about it. Is the carbon tax reasonable? For what it is trying to accomplish, I don't think it is. I think it is nothing more than a money grab.
Should the government invest money in R&D of the technology that will help us become more 'green?' Certainly, but it also has to be reasonable. Should we shut down oil sand development? Absolutely not.
There has to be a reasonable approach taken in terms of reducing our footprint. And I think we are well on that way. It just takes time.
