Prediction: Canada set to take over as world biggest climate criminal
As a Canadian I am somewhat depressed, but at the same time relieved for all my American friends, that my country is going to soon take over as the top climate change bad guy in the world. With a US presidential candidate in place that understands the immediate need to get America off its mainline to foreign oil, it leaves my country of Canada still wallowing away with a right-wing government with its head firmly planted in the sand on energy issues.

For the most part our media is "okay" but this is the type of outrageous garbage we see in our press here: http://www.desmogblog.com/fake-glacier-claims-make-a-canwest-comeback

As someone who monitors and reports on global warming press coverage everyday, I hate to say it but Canada is quickly becoming a world hotspot for climate denier/misinformation media. You don't even see junkscience like this on Fox News as much as we do up here in the great white melting North.

1. I am sorry to hear this. Still, I have been up there once in a while and
have always been impressed by the recycling system. Better by far than what passes for recycling in my little town.
