The Saltpork & Rind reported a story that a technical college and local school boards were going to put their student's heads together to think of ways of reducing the schools' carbon footprint.
Mohawk College and nine local school boards provided further proof that climate change is more a cult than a fact.
The Climate Change Collective (which represent 270,000 area students, whether they know it or not!) has made a non-binding agreement with itself to take steps to reduce its carbon footprint. Since the agreement is nonbinding, no one is holding their breath. Given the state of the world, its effectiveness will be indistinguishable from zero, but it will make a lot of people feel better about themselves.
What kind of “steps” you ask? The Collective’s components are going to explore ways of minimizing their carbon “outputs.” Not actually implement anything, just think about them - within the limits of their funding. The students get dragged into it by forcing them to explore “all forms of collaborative learning and research.” Research that “focuses on creating and sustaining a low-carbon economy.” (Hint: a hunter-gatherer economy in the tropics is low-carbon.)
Proving that being on a school board is no indication of intelligence, Wayne Joudrie boldly declared, “We need to become less reliant on greenhouse gases.” But CO2 is the greenhouse gas at issue, and we are in no way reliant upon it for anything, though our plants are. These educators want a “greener” future by denying plants the food they need to become green!
I’m sure Baal, the god of environmentalism, will be pleased.
