The third world is responsible for 2/3rds of CO2 emissions, and almost all the increase is coming from the third world. What you seem to be wanting us to do is if feel guilt over having developed ahead of them. That's not going to happen.

I don’t see why any responsible person would be unwilling to admit our role in the problem the world faces today.

And so? What comes of that? Hand-wringing? We saw it was a problem and began the process of cutting back while also researching alternatives.

Meanwhile, the other 150 odd countries in the world are frantically building coal plants.

We are facing decades of difficult negotiations with countries that have many reasons not to trust us, and many of them have modest per capita emissions right now. Starting with an honest and comprehensive analysis of how we got here sounds like a solid  foundation on which to build trust.

Because the US etc are shipping it to them to burn.

We're have to make sure Canada isn't piping and shipping.

I'd much sooner it was us than them.  Unless you have a plan to stop them?

Sooo you're plan is to cut the third world off from oil and gas shipments and let them languish in extreme poverty?

You should direct that to yourself.

Why? You're the one who can't seem to follow the discussion.

How are you going to stop China from using their own coal and oil reserves? 

Well, we were only talking about us not selling them fossil fuels but the only impact we could have on their emissions would be to purchase less stuff from them.  We should be doing that anyway on humanitarian grounds, never mind climate change.

Why do these environmentalists people always try to pretend that they want to save the world? The majority have no clue about what they are talking about. They just listen to people like Gore and Suzuki and will believe what they say as gospel without question. Those enviros would be the last ones to want to give up their first world lifestyle. If it meant getting rid of fossil fuels, which would lead to less of all the nice things that they have and use and see around them, thanks to fossil fuels, I will bet that they will stop mouthing off like they do. Most of them are all talk with no walk, and they do just as much damage to the environment as I do and millions of others like me do every day. It's no use mentioning to these people that more immigration is the problem and will mean more pollution and carbon because they are just too stunned to try and figure that one out. The third world is the biggest carbon producers today. How dare me say such a thing. The environmentalists will never be able to persuade me that I need their help to survive, and that they know what's best for me. 

Being free from the shackles of government tyranny will help make and keep us all free, and keep Canada great. Sure, there is a need for some limited government, but the government must be kept small with a loose shackle wrapped around it's neck. The government did not make Canada great  nor did the environmentalists. It was the free enterprise capitalist system that made Canada great. Now thanks to the government and the environmentalists, they are trying to make Canada un great today. Look at what the liberal/socialist governments, and the environmentalists have done to the oil industry in Alberta? Pretty much destroyed Alberta. Those two mentioned could careless about the oil industry in Alberta. 

Climate change does not really concern me at all. I go to bed every night and could careless about what is going on in the environment. I need more proof and evidence that there is something really going on to the environment and I am not worried about a few floods or fires going on somewhere on earth. A few degrees warmer by the end of this century is something that no one should worrying about. By then, your dead body will have helped the environment in some way to have helped make other life come to life. Just saying.

Given that none of us have another planet to go home to (although you wouldn’t know that here), at some point we are going to have to work together to protect this one. Countries will get serious about fighting climate change when the consequences become sufficiently unpleasant.
