VIA WUWT – One of Theresa May’s first acts as Prime Minister was to move responsibility for climate change to a new Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy.
Canada falling out-of-step with trade partners on #climatechange! PLEASE RT! @gmbutts @ElizabethMay https://t.co/vAwisDjxvy

Great news!! Trudeau has blinders on, and will not even blink…
uhh, umm, well, uhh, umm, you see, ahh, its, ahh,,,
I see what you did there Kate. Unfortunately, they’re too stupid to get it!
I think Saskatchewan has found a market for its’ heavy oil. Pipeline to Churchhill anyone? Britain would love to get a secure crude supply to replace falling North Sea production. The nuke powered ice breaker could be christened the S.S. Brexit. 😉
Churchill is a real possibility. With BC and the east doing whatever they can to thwart a renewed oil industry, Europe becomes a very attractive alternative.
Most of the EU energy comes from Russia and the Middle east. Not wind power.
They are politically unstable sources and negatively influence Europe’s resolve to stop Russian territorial expansion.
A stable and reliable energy source from Canada would get them out from under Russia’s thumb and give them the freedom to defend themselves, if they have the stomach to do so.
“Only on Monday, Government advisers had warned of the need to take urgent action to prepare the UK for floods, droughts, heatwaves and food shortages caused by climate change.”
Proof that even the lowest form of parasites have premonitions.
May it be the beginning of end for the control freaks who want to dictate to everyone else how to “…direct and determine what industries we develop, what transport infrastructure we construct, how we manage our land and what our diets look like.”
Wouldn’t it be interesting, given Manitoba’s new conservative government that separatist sentiments should gain traction. A successful energy enterprise and a Churchill pipeline would mean SK and MB could pool their commonalities breaking free from the dictates of idiots. Might even include AB after the NDP gets snuffed there forever. Would give our betters in central Canada something to stew about. I can fantasize can’t I?

Just another effing politician.
Go Donald! and
Nigel Farage please reconsider.
We won’t have to worry about it here in Alberta, thanks to her:

She’s another Naomi Klein clone and is just as deranged. (Shut down the oil sands for the sake of the children of the workers?)
I suppose she commutes between Alberta and whatever Kremlin branch office she calls home by bike, right?
LC: I wish I could join in your optimism but I’m afraid our Western democracy has devolved to the dark side that was forewarned by many philosophers. Essentially we are entering the “mob-rule” state, where the mob is controlled by rhetoric and demagoguery promulgated by tyrants who are completely educated in the means of propaganda. It doesn’t matter if they’re left-wing tyrants, or right-wing tyrants, their goal is identical – power at any cost. They know how to achieve it, and there’s nothing you can do about it.

Red Rachel, of course, has nicely distanced her from the rhetoric. 2019 can’t come soon enough…..
Historically, when the powerful and wealthy become too greedy and corrupt the “mob” gets fed up and retaliates. At best, this change happens at the ballot box peacefully. At worst, on the streets not so peacefully. The U.K. looks to be doing the former.
The current crop of self serving politicians and the megalomaniacs who buy politicians should hope people in every western country chooses the same route. Given the lack of any ethics and arrogance from today’s leaders, citizens have shown remarkable restraint so far.
The U.K. Has lots of oil thanks to frack and other technology:

Using Duct Tape on the mouths of Al Gore and those various eco-wackos from those various eco-wacko groups(Greenpeace,Enviromental Defense Fund’Sieirra Club Etc)would go a long way in cutting back on all that Hot Air they produce
“One of Theresa May’s first acts as Prime Minister was to move responsibility for climate change to a new Department”
Responsibility? Politicians, always fighting the last war instead of the present war.
Responsibility is passé. It’s the INTENT, or lack thereof, that matters.
