  1. Human life is of no value in China. Hope all those who praise the barbaric nation finally admit to the failures of communism.

  2. we need to juxtopose this with CBCpravdas doctored sepia toned pictures of an old trona power plant (which had been decommissioned years before ) used to illustrate global warming and the Harper Regimes resistance.
    remember it was only weeks ago that the MSM declared China’s leadership in climate change proposals.

  3. PM Harper says China and others must clean up their act, otherwise no discusions on new Kyoto.
    Chretien, Susuki, Maurice Strong say leave them alone. But send money.
    mmmm, seems like it is not about the environment after all. Could it be about a socialistic money transfer scheme with United Nation agents ? Ya think !?

  7. Ya China is serious about climate change, how about being serious about real pollution?
    The Chinese throw a little money on some “biggest ever” solar and wind projects and it buys them all the slack they need going into Copenhagen and boosts their Global PR with Left Leaning politicians. They all run around saying China is kicking the West’s butt on climate change now.
    BS the west is building all the factories for turbines and Solar in China with Western Money, they just know stupid westerners will buy turbines and panels made in China. They do not care about climate, it is a low cost solution for them politically.
    It is a win win win for them.
    1)Gives them standing and leverage at UNFCCC Talks and raises global view of China diverting away attention on things like industrial pollution.
    2)Encourages Foreign Investment in China for Exports to the West in a new market.
    3)Allows them access to manufacturing technologies and products from Western Companies.
    Would you not build a token Solar and Wind Farm to capture what is going to be a 2 Trillion Dollar Business over the next 25 years capitalizing on Doomed to Fail Western Energy Policies?
    They are not communists not stupid!

  11. And the Canadian Cancer Agency is going nuts over pesticides on our lawn. Advocacy groups are dangerous because they are incapable of stopping even after they have won. MADD wants zero tolerance for alcohol and random breathalyzer tests even though drunk driving is way down and now mainly the purview of alcoholics. The Canadian Cancer society would push for an end to pesticides even though we know DDT prevents deaths in Africa and our modern agriculture and a world of hungry people depend on it. The BC Cancer Agency has stated that it’s first non-commercial pesticides then they go after agriculture. I guess they think actually dying of starvation is better than a slightly increased risk of dying of cancer.

  12. With Obama is over there this week it will be a moment when the pollution stopped spewing and the festering sores and cancers began to heal and it will again be safe to eat a feral cat.

  13. Absolutely, Largs. After all, none of those pictures had the only innocent victims that matter -dead geese.
    If you go over to the Globe and Mail, there is yet another story about how Canada is an embarrassment, an ecological villain. Of course there is no discussion of our actual emissions or environmental protection policies. Polices that have prevented totalitarian government sized eco-disasters. The writer only regurgitates the usual per capita emissions comparisons. If China and India get a pass because of overpopulation and poverty then Canada should be able to count its uninhabited land mass and small population as offsets to our economic success. Or, better yet, scrap the entire scam and let the science catch up before politicians win the race to increase taxes and controls.

  14. OH. MY. GOD. This is horrible. Thank you for posting this Kate, but it seriously makes me want to cry.

    How true! I turned off a bulb and ate a greenie in order to do my part. [/sarc]

  17. and when the townspeople go to the big city to petition for action, they get grabbed off the street and thrown in jail:

    China isn’t even communist now, it’s some amalgam of the worst of communism and the worst of capitalism.
