Go Figure – Suzuki Bus Tour Will Burn A Ton Of Gas

The night was February 8th, 1989. David Suzuki’s hair had more black than grey in it. The location was Alumni Hall at the University of Western Ontario. The debate was about race and a University of Western Ontario professor, Philip Rushton was preaching that intelligence was related to your race and penis size.

The controversy was immense. The outrage was real. Me and my fellow students were all up in arms over this outrageous claim made by an unknown professor.

So a debate was scheduled and the famous scientist David Suzuki was to be our saviour. We knew that a lowly professor could not possibly stand up to the onslaught that a worldly man like Suzuki would bring.

But it never happened. If there was someone scoring the debate, Rushton would have kicked Suzuki’s ass. All Suzuki could go on about was how a University of 50 or 60 thousand students couldn’t find anyone to debate this monster. How our world class school had to go outside its’ walls to find someone to denounce this professor. I was never so disappointed in David Suzuki as I was that day. But heck, when a major controversy was happening, Suzuki was there … at least in name.

And now he is at it again. The economy is flush with money and David Suzuki is aiming to make his mark on the subject of climate change and global warming. He is launching what CTV calls an “election-style environment tour“. Note it was not called an “Election-style Attack Tour”.

The first question that crossed my mind was “how much emissions is this tour putting into our atmospphere” as Suzuki is using a bus for the tour. The response is given:

The David Suzuki Foundation says in a news release that the carbon emissions associated with the tour are offset through its investments in sustainable energy projects, such as wind farms, solar installations, or energy efficiency projects.

Buying carbon credits with investments in green programs is good for his foundation but it is not acceptable for our government to invest money in Made in Canada green programs. For Suzuki to be happy, we need to give our tax dollars to Russia and Saudi Arabia via Kyoto.
David Suzuki has now disappointed me twice.

    Maybe he is thinking about a venture into politics in the future.

    Which party would want a Green Suzuki parked in their garage?

    Look at the emissions that he would save if he stayed at home. There is no need to trade emissions just cancel the tour and save the planet!!!!

    As I’ve said before, David Suzuki is a creation of the CBC, just like Mr. Dressup and they both have about the same credibility… and Ernest Coombes is dead. Think about it.

    So the great Suzuki claims buying carbon credits is the way to go? Perhaps he is ignorant ( as in many of his claims) of the fact that carbon trading in the EU is a disaster and contrary to the environmentalist claims it has already resulted in higher electricity prices.

    The poor original white inhabitants of Europe, they will not have the luxuries they once had, but the newcomers (Muslims) will do quite well since they are used to living in those conditions. They are probably behind all this climate change turmoil!!

    David Suzuki and his ilk apparently won’t be satisfied until we’re all living in the bush eating pine cones and shivering in the dark (we mustn’t have fires because that causes air pollution and depletes the forests). Of course, as saviors of humanity, they’ll be allowed to go on increasing the size of their “carbon footprint”.
