Guest guest Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Canada won't make Kyoto emissions targets; blames targets Canada is nearly 30 percent above its greenhouse-gas emissions targets under the Kyoto Protocol, so it's redoubling efforts to ... abandon the targets. New Environment Minister Rona Ambrose, of the less-than-ambitious Conservative Party that took power in February, concludes " it is impossible, impossible for Canada to reach its Kyoto target. " Instead, she says, Canadians need to discuss " action and solutions ... that are out by 50, 100 years, not two years, five years. " Bold leadership there. Ambrose is presiding over the next round of Kyoto talks in Bonn, Germany, next month and plans to challenge the international focus on emissions targets. A new study finds that Canada could reach its Kyoto targets through bioenergy technology, but it's unlikely to get much of a hearing from a government that's apparently already cut spending on climate-change programs by some 40 percent. straight to the source: The Globe and Mail, Jeff Sallot, 08 Apr 2006 straight to the source: Toronto Star, Canadian Press, Dennis Bueckert, 07 Apr 2006 straight to the source: Toronto Star, Peter Calamai, 10 Apr 2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
