Maybe because the Canadians are seeing the affects firsthand. That is why Canada is THE country of the future. They will have vast areas of land open up for development but they will be smart in who they allow into their country.

And yet another wingnut with a big amygdala, and small anterior cingulate cortex.

It's truly amazing how many high school educated wingnuts really believe that they have figured something out, that 95% of the PHD educated environmental sciencists haven't.

Mindless drones, sent into battle by their one percenter masters.

You are conflating AGW with natural climate change. Who argues that the climate doesn't change? It's been happening since the Earth was formed. 100% of these so-called PHD scientists, which many are not even scientists, that believe in AGW have a vested interest called MONEY!!!

They also believe in a much more sensible oil production policy.

"Drill baby drill", Canada's favorite war cry.

Good question.

Global warming is pretty hard to dispute, considering that the fabled Northwest Passage, the arctic waterway thought to exist, but was found to be completely blocked with over 7 feet of ocean ice. Now, a ship can cross from the Atlantic to the Pacific in clear water for the first time in recorded history.

Duh- of course the Canadians believe in global warming! The Northwest Passage is in Canadian waters!

Global warming has been going on for over 100 years. Earth's climate is getting warmer each passing year, and if humans could have done anything about it, that time has passed. All we can do now is prepare as best we can for it's consequences.
For some reason the nut bags who deny it seem to get comfort by squeezing their eyes shut, putting their hands over their ears and screaming No! No! No! like a 3 year old does.

That's not exactly accurate, we've been making painful decisions in order to reduce the deficit and get back to the surpluses we used to have, but this global economic climate has not been kind to federal, provincial, and municipal budgets. It is true, however, that we're making real progress and are most provinces and the Feds are getting closer to balanced budgets. If all goes according to plan the Canadian federal government should see surpluses again somewhere around 2016 and we can start paying down the debt again.

Those dependent on industry and who seek more and more luxury will always deny the fact that their life is sustained by pumping waste product into the air and water...I don't care if it is warming or cooling- You don't filth up the planet - get rich and not clean up after yourself- It's that simple...You wanna be rich- get the damned broom out and don't leave a trail of waste product- Global warming deniers are like dogs that crap on the side walk.
