Kyoto 'Plan'

Attempting to create headlines about anything other than corruption and embezzlement, the Liberals announced their long-awaited Kyoto plan. Seems like everyone thinks its too vague (I'm shocked, shocked!), and in a nod to political reality, CNN reported it this way:

Canada plans to cut greenhouse gases; Conservatives say they'll scrap $10 billion plan if they win office

The plan is madness according to the NPs Terence Corcoran:

Under Kyoto, Canada has to cut emissions by at least 270,000,000 tonnes by 2010, about 35% of current emissions. The Kyoto plan won't even come close, if only because it implies shutting down a third of the economy. That's too crazy to think about, but still the objective is to set up a "carbon constrained" economy by imposing regulations that artificially create carbon constraints.

The science is suspect, and this plan is too.
