Remember that number.<\/p>\n

It is the number of coal fired plants that China plans to open in the next few years. Add in the USA and India (all three exempt or not signatories to Kyoto) and the number of plants goes up to 850.<\/p>\n

…the implications of this planned coal-fired plant construction in China, India and the U.S. It estimated these 850 plants will put five times more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than Kyoto is designed to remove, even if every other country, including Canada, miraculously hits its Kyoto target.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Pause for a second and reread that statement. Five Times what Kyoto would remove if every nation hits its target. Wow.<\/p>\n

Lorrie Goldstein is taking on the Kyoto challenge and doing a great job. In this article he outlines how the biggest polluters are not included in Kyoto.<\/p>\n

Something that I would like to add is that the Kyoto Protocol considers Saudi Arabia a “developing country”<\/a> too which means the Saudis are not being penalized for pumping petroleum into the world while nations like Canada are.<\/p>\n

For more, I urge people to read Lorrie Goldstein regularly. He is doing a good job trying to educate Torontonians on the myths surrounding Kyoto.<\/p>\n
