Yesterday, I Posted comments on the new agreement reached by 157 countries in Montreal regarding greenhouse-gas emissions, speculating that one reason so many developed countries have been willing to sign this type of agreement is because the countries have no realistic expectation of complying with the restrictions supposeduly being imposed. Some further support for this view is found in the comments of Greenpeace co-founder Patrick Moore, who is reported by Cybercast News Service ("Former Greenpeace Co-Founder Praises US for Rejecting Kyoto") to have observed:
Montreal (CNSNews.com) - A founding member of Greenpeace, who left the organization because he viewed it as too radical, praised the United States for refusing to ratify the Kyoto Protocol.
"At least the [United] States is honest. [The U.S.] said, 'No we are not going to sign that thing (Kyoto) because we can't do that,'" said Patrick Moore, who is attending the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Montreal.
Moore noted that many of the industrialized nations that ratified the treaty limiting greenhouse gas emissions are now failing to comply with those emission limits. Moore, who currently heads the Canadian-based environmental advocacy group Greenspirit Strategies helped found both Greenpeace in 1971 and Greenpeace International in 1979.
"Canada signed [Kyoto] and said, 'Oh yeah, we can do that,' and then it merrily goes on its way to increase CO2 (carbon dioxide) emissions by even more than the U.S.," Moore told Cybercast News Service.
Indeed, as to Canada in particular, the chances are nil that it will in fact endure the economic hardship imposed by draconian greenhouse-gas emission reductions in light of Alberta's recent announcement that the Province will not be bound by federal emissions-limiting goals. As reported in Globe and Mail (November 22, 2005; "Alberta will ignore Kyoto guidelines"):
Ottawa — Alberta will not be bound by federal regulations on greenhouse emissions, says a spokesman for the province's Environment Department.
Robert Moyles said Tuesday that Alberta will introduce its own regulations to govern greenhouse emissions — and they will take precedence over federal rules.
The comments open a gaping hole in the credibility of Ottawa's plan for achieving its commitments under the Kyoto protocol, with less than a week before a UN conference on climate change opens in Montreal.
"Our regulations, we believe, will take precedence as soon as they take effect," Mr. Moyles said in an interview. "Industry (in Alberta) will be bound by Alberta regulations."

The biggest inteerst on this site by far from around the world is regarding the plastics pollution within the North Pacific gyre. We even have our first wiki reference from this for a post showing of plastics pollution given to The Coffee House by the only research organisation to have travelled into the gyre.The point is this topic and the posts linked to it have run and run because people are deeply concerned about it. No major NGO funded research or government task force has spurred on this concern. Rather a small organisation, Algalita Marine Research Foundation and 1000s of internet users have started to raise the profile of this issue, as well as a newspaper in San Franciso.So yes, I do think it's very important for a groundswell of concerned citizens to rise up and pressure their governments relentlessly until they commit their taxes and time to resolving these many environmental problems. Governments after all are inheriently reactive rather than proactive.
