Does the plan go far enough?

Answer 1

"Let's do something - next year" isn't much of a plan.

Answer 2

the harper government still does not get it. the first Real step would be to divorce itsself from the oil industry. stop giving the oil industry about 1.4 billion dollars into the coffers of these greedy profiteering **!!. next, start promoting Real Green Zero Emissions Vehicles. the battery technology is improving. go to www.evcanada.org and look at the impressive vehicles

Answer 3

A very small step.  But at least it is better than their previous steps backwards.  All it does is bury the problem and create a new one: carbonic acid.

CO2 sequestration is not a surprise, it is more  a marketing tool than a solution.  Their absence of investment or involvement in developing environmental solutions says more than this about their regard for the environment.

Answer 4

Better that the Liberal plan of paying the Russians billions of dollars to do nothing while we also do nothing.
