RE: Ford’s climate plan falls short (Hamilton Spectator of this date)
Today’s media is full of leather-lunged, talking points
shouting alleged experts. They work like radios: all talk and never
listen. One such expert is Mark Winfield, a professor of one of those
“-studies” courses who faithfully regurgitates the party line on climate
change.
The accusation is that the Ford government’s climate change
strategy is inadequate to stem the problem. This is like complaining that
tiny Luxembourg lacks an adequate strategy to defeat the Wehrmacht of Nazi
Germany. Ontario’s and Canada’s contribution to the problem – assuming it
exists – is so tiny by their own measure that it is simply foolish to speak of
a Canadian or Ontarian strategy to defeat climate change.
This point has been made before, and given
quantitatively. It is significant that the emperor is not listening to
the whispering that he is wearing no clothes. The professional
fearmongers lack an answer, and they know it.
