Proof they just don't get it

The Harper government introduced on Thursday a proposed clean air act that would begin regulating smog levels by 2010 and looks to cut greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2050.

A vague and delayed response to a immediate and possibly irreversible catastrophe I learned about and was convinced 19 years ago in a geography class at West Hill Collegiate Institute.

So in 4 years we will begin... Unless there is another stall, and that never happens in politics. And by 2050 we will be cutting emissions by half... So in 44 years what happens if there are 2x as many of us polluting at half the rate we were 44 years ago.

Like I mean shouldn't technological innovation cut pollutants by that much easily therefore never taxing our precious economy.

I sense a "Nobody could have seen this coming" moment.
