In my second pre-emptive blog entry in as many days to protect the web site ProudToBeCanadian.ca from commenters who direct folks to other web sites in order to read great columns by great columnists, who, it turns out, are columnists right here at ProudToBeCanadian.ca, I direct your attention to Steve Milloy’s column, now posted in the Columnist section.
Steve Milloy debunks all the junk science that’s fit to debunk (and there’s a w h o l e lotta junk out there). We’ve been hosting his column here for nearly two years.
He’s a real slouch. He is a biostatistician, lawyer, adjunct scholar at the Cato Institute and publisher of JunkScience.com where the motto is: “All the junk that’s fit to debunk”, as well as CSRwatch.com. Milloy holds a B.A. in Natural Sciences from the Johns Hopkins University, a Master of Health Sciences in Biostatistics from the Johns Hopkins University School of Hygiene and Public Health, a Juris Doctorate from the University of Baltimore, and a Master of Laws from the Georgetown University Law Center.
He thinks Kyoto is full of hot air. The Canadian media never interview him, naturally. Just the Sierra Club.
Here’s a snippet of his Kyoto’s Quiet Anniversary:
Global warming alarmists marked the Kyoto Protocol’s first anniversary in subdued fashion this week. The treaty so far has been a failure and its future doesn’t appear much brighter.
As tallied up at JunkScience.com courtesy of the global warmers’ own data, Kyoto is estimated to have cost about $150 billion so far, while only hypothetically reducing the average global temperature by 0.0015 degrees Centigrade.
At that rate, it would take 667 years and cost $100 trillion to hypothetically avert just 1 degree Centigrade of global warming.
But such infinitesimal estimates of averted global warming would only apply, of course, if Kyoto’s signatories actually complied with its provisions. They are finding it virtually impossible to even do that. […]
Coincidentally (but not surprisingly), our new Environment Minister, Rona Ambrose, is none too impressed either. (Hat tip to Exile)

Canada’s new environment minister says no to trading emissions credits
EDMONTON (CP) – Canada’s new environment minister says she won’t support trading emissions credits with other nations or any other international deal that does not have a “direct environmental benefit to Canadians.”
Rona Ambrose said she does not see the trading of emissions credits with other countries as being a high priority in her mandate of “cleaning up the air Canadians breathe.”
“On Kyoto, I will say that our government will not be shipping hot air credits overseas. Our focus is on a domestic solution,” Ambrose told reporters Wednesday following a one-hour meeting with Alberta Environment Minister Guy Boutilier.
“We draw the line at ensuring that there’s a direct benefit to any of the legislative mechanisms or any of the international agreements that we are presently engaged in and that we will become engaged in in the future.” […]
