Office Of The Auditor General Fumbles The Ball With Enviromental Report

I have often posted about the Kyoto Protocol and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions on my blog but never have I been as outraged and upset as I am this morning.

I have been reviewing the Report of the Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development and I am shocked that the Office of the Auditor General would release such a report with it’s partial information.

Imagine you eating a pizza everyday. Imagine a report on weight loss providing the breakdown of content of ONE SINGLE slice of pepperoni. Imagine a report on weight loss providing information on what the caloric breakdown of pepperoni was. And then imagine that same report recommending how changing ONE SLICE of pepperoni could help you reduce weight without addressing the caloric aspects of cheese, crust, sausage, mushrooms, green peppers and maybe even anchovies.

Believe it or not, this is what the report does with respect to GHG emissions.

The report provides great information about

a) the breakdown of GHGs released by developed countries, and
b) the breakdown of where Canada’s man made GHGs are produced by sector.

But without correlating this to the total amount of GHGs in the atmosphere and what percentage our man made ones are of this total amount, the report is useless. Again the fact that simple water vapour makes up 99% of the earths GHGs is ignored.

This is simply gross negligence and for the OAG to ask Canadians to act on this is gross misconduct. I am just disgusted that the report ignores the fact that our nation produces less than 1/100th of 1% of the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

So when someone tells you the earth is warming because of man made GHG emissions, tell them to stick water vapour in their pipes and smoke it.

    The Commissioner of the Environment is the governments biggest trafficker in Junk science. It should be shut down as it obviously serves no useful purpose.
