Aren't we Lucky?

Aren't we lucky that we have guys like Justin Trudeau and Gerald Butts looking after our interests?

Up to and until about 10 years ago, climate science told us that we were in the process of emerging from a glacial period--an earth that looked more like a snowball a few million years ago. It was variously estimated that the area where Toronto now sits was under a sheet of ice about two miles thick. Its weight created the Niagara Escarpment.

Look what the media did with that. 

"Wow!! Global warming!! Rising oceans!! Prepare to evacuate coastal cities!! Melting Arctic. What will the poor Polar bears do??"

Of course, nothing out of the ordinary was happening, and we still endured cold winters. So the brain trust at the UN morphed global warming into Climate change and helped launch a few video documentaries that are about as phoney as a $3 bill for us to view and lose sleep over..

But history is full of global warming and climate change. There is evidence of climate change in the rocks for everyone to see. And it all happened before the era of coal-fired hydro smokestacks and hydrocarbon spewing motor vehicles.

So, did this stop the planet-saving heroes and their cheerleaders from carrying on the scary propaganda? Were David Suzuki and Al Gore even paying attention?

Now we have Justin Trudeau and Gerald Butts launching a sneaky new strategy--taxing Climate Change into submission. If they tax us enough, this will somehow stop millions of years of climate change dead in its tracks.

Should we be grateful? Unfortunately, we must withhold showing our gratitude until the fall election.
