David Suzuki blows up

David Suzuki, is very passionate about he environment.

I wish there were more people like David Suzuki out there. He is a very intelligent person and has a unique vision for the future of mankind.

However, I don't like Kyoto, I think we need to Federal regulation within Canada to fix problem at home.

So the tobacco industry hacks are now working for the climate deniers. BIG SURPRISE! This problem originated in the west so who better to start the redress? What are you doing Rain quaking in denial and running smear campaigns? At least tell me they are paying you for this.

Here's what I heard.

I heard a talk show host who was trying to simultaneously get enviro-cred by having David Suzuki on, but at the same time prevent anything useful from acually being said.

First he tried to get into wheter or not we should be in Kyoto, depite the fact that we already are in.

Then he brought up the BS about there still being quibbles about the science. There are a few vocal critics which the media latches onto in a misguided attempt to appear "unbiased." If the media did a story on the new gravity probe series of satellites, would they have on some crackpot who says that gravity is about "the 'earth' element in all things trying to be near each other" so they can present an opposing viewpoint to general relativity? NO! It's hogwash! You don't have to show two sides of a story when there's only one side.

Then he tried to make it into a left vs right thing, an idealism vs realism thing (again, a dichotomy so as to appear unbiased).

Is it any wonder Suzuki got flustered when this is the exact same show we've been hearing for years and years and years? It's always is climate change real or not? Should we be in Kyoto or not? Will this kill the economy or not?

What we need now is to talk abotu ways people can do things that are both effective and economically achievable. We can't keep on talking about wheter or not we should do anything, we need to talk about how to actually DO SOMETHING. The closest we got to that on this show was Suzuki giving out his website address.

This was nothing more than an attempt on the part of the radio station to appear to be contributing without actually contributing.

Amen!

So both of you support buying $20 million of carbon credits from China?

What $20 million in carbon credits?

I think the e-mails from ridenrain are starting to get to him.

Dodge. Where's this $20 million figure from?

There you go..$10 billion is more than $20 million.

I didn't hear him "Blow Up". He spoke passionately on a topic he feels strongly about. Points were put forward and he made his views clear on rebuttal. That is called conversation, debate and good talk radio. I thought it was a very good volley of information.

John Oakley is a smug little prick who's about a tenth as funny as he thinks he is

Supposition. Go figure.

It's quite simple. If you support Kyoto, you also support Canada sending taxpayers money to China and other such countries. Due to Chretien signing this, without the approval or consultation of Canadian voters, then stalling for a decade, we are now facing sending billions of our money to foreign countries for no actual return.

Moe Strong must be laughing his ass off at you usefull idiots.
