Aldyen Donnelly: The EU and Greenhouse Gas emissions…what you don’t know
Europe’s climate change commitments credits the EU with having adopted legally binding GHG emission limits for 2020 and beyond. This is not the case.
While EU member states have agreed to implement a series of 4 legally binding standards for Greenhouse gas (GHG) emission limits—two of which are intensity-based. But there are no legally binding national or EU-wide GHG limits in the Climate Change Action Plan that the members of the EU voted to endorse in April, 2009.

Our geologists are taught fossil fuel theory in our schools; our energy companies search for fossil fuels by divining where the dinosaurs lay down and died. Sooner or later, we will run out of liquefied dinosaurs and be forced to turn to either nuclear or renewable fuels, virtually everyone believes.

Aldyen Donnelly: Ontario and Quebec premiers need to study up on emissions targets
If the premiers of Ontario and Quebec come out swinging against a federal plant to hit the oil sands facilities with "intensity" targets while they hit manufacturing industries with absolute targets they will look very, very foolish in the not-to-distant future.

Where's the skepticism?
Bjorn Lomborg, the skeptical environmentalist, has yet to apply his thinking to premises of climate change.
First assume that, on behalf of the global community, you must spend $250-billion a year on something that, while not entirely worthless, promises to give you almost no bang for the buck. Something that came 10th in a list of 10 global challenges.
