[QUOTE="JB08, post: 336873, member: 2221"] Frankly, the anti fossil fuel rhetoric in the video you attached is exactly what is wrong with this country. First, let's start with the fact that Canada is but a small contributor to CO2 emissions: [ATTACH type="full" width="373px"]122676[/ATTACH] Canada's ability to generate wealth and maintain its spending on social programs is directly tied to the fossil fuel industry: [ATTACH type="full" width="367px"]122677[/ATTACH] Also, the demonizing of the industry and general hysteria around CO2 -life on earth would be impossible without it and calling it pollution is nothing more than a political term- does nothing but set us on a course for a lower standard of living.
