Hello all,

In the latest David Suzuki Foundation (DSF) press release
(http://www.davidsuzuki.org//Campaigns_and_Programs/Climate_Change/News_Rel
eases/newsclimatechange06010101.asp), note the same tired old rhetoric: 
"Increased greenhouse gases will mean more severe climate change, which
will cause more air pollution, drought and health impacts." (Please note
that the very long web page URL above takes two lines (it ends with ".asp")
and so 
you need to cut and paste it into your browser address window in two
chunks.)

It is unfortunate indeed that no one in our state-sponsored media (the
Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, CBC) or government (especially elected
officials like MP Mac Harb who, as a person with scientific training (he
used to be an engineer), should be able to understand the uncertainties
involved in such an evolving field) has the courage to take the
eco-catastrophizers to task ... or has it simply become too risky for our
leaders to question the "Sacred Balance" (the title of a recent Suzuki
tome) the DSF and others preach?  

Of course, virtually no one in the scientific community will make the
definitive statements, as in para 1, about climate change, the science
being so complex and continually undergoing revision and improvement. 
Quoting the disreputable IPCC reports only makes the DSF's arguments
weaker.

Comments?
