Read the post above mine. A poster said that the other major economies are not doing anything. Patently false. I don't know how many times this has been discussed but had Alberta gotten out infront of the environmentalists back in say 2003 and did real GHG policy the industry would not find itself where it is now. The die is cast however. Nothing is going to let up on the oil patch in Alberta. Not the enviros, not the global demand outlook for oil, not the sinking oil price. The party is over, the cd's skipping.
Addressing your point, there are good ways to reduce GHGs without handcuffing your economy such as what has been proposed, a carbon tax. It's a false choice what you're saying. We either do nothing or handcuff our economy is not based in a rational assessment of issue.
