Ottawa pledges $1 billion to back Kyoto
Last Updated Tue, 12 Aug 2003 16:19:37

OTTAWA - The federal government unveiled a billion-dollar plan for battling global climate change Tuesday, but it takes Canada only a small step toward meeting its commitment under the Kyoto Protocol.

The plan aims to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions by 20,000 tonnes over the next five years.

When it ratified the Kyoto accord last December, Canada committed to slashing emissions 240,000 tonnes by 2010.

The plan announced Tuesday offers incentives to both consumers and industry to save energy and cut the production of greenhouse gases.

3. It is our moral responsibility," Prime Minister Jean Chr�tien

(No you stupid Canadian. It's moral to use your citizens' tax money to murder innocent Muslims to steal their oil. Use your money to test your Military Industrial Complex hardware on innocent Muslims so that you have to spend more money to replenish the hardware. Who cares about your soldiers' bodies they don't cost so much. Who cares about the Earth because Jesus is your Savoir. You need to follow the American GOP Moral Christian Nation.)
