Carbon Pricing:

Now that our prime minister has re-affirmed our commitment to pay for carbon pricing at the Paris party, it ought to be fair for us to expect that all those participating leaders are going to move right along and tackle those nasty volcanoes.

Each time a volcano erupts, the carbon emissions are not rated in tonnes, but in cubic miles! It is variously estimated that there are about 1500 active volcanoes pumping not only carbon dioxide, but all sorts of dangerous emissions into the planetary biosphere.

How gullible do we have to be to take the politicians' word that car exhausts and smokestacks can make a difference?

The global warming due to human activity nonsense was initially launched by immature activists with lots of spare time on their hands. Opportunistic politicians saw it as yet another phoney disaster they can pretend they are saving us from when they need more tax money and/or votes.

Not all politicians are mindlessly opportunistic. Premier Brad Wall of Saskatchewan and the northern territorial leaders appear to be losing little sleep over humanity-induced climate change. Could be they have more respect for the thinking processes of the people who elected them.

But maybe we shouldn't be too hard on our new Prime Minister. Obviously, he's confident he can get away with such theories with those people who elected him.

Climate change will go on as it always has. The theory that we can make a significant difference is irresponsible nonsense. It's a hoax and a tax grab that will do nothing for environmental concerns here just as it has changed nothing other than increased taxes in all the administrations that have tried it so far.

But keep in mind that our brilliant teachers are busy programming our kids as early as kindergarten to believe in this politically-convenient mythology.
