"Later this week we will release Canada's greenhouse gas inventory and it will show that Canada's (level of emissions) is now 35 percent higher than the Kyoto targets that the Liberals set," she told Parliament.I actually hadn't noticed any planes or trains on Canada's streets.
"To put that into perspective ... that would mean that today we would have to take every train, plane and automobile off the streets of Canada. That is not realistic."
That's the tricky thing about global warming, I guess. Just when you think you understand the problem, some Conservative tells you that it's hopeless.

I vaguely remember a certain Mr. Flannery, in an interview on
TVO a few weeks back, stating that actually most industry in Canada did well with reaching targets, but that most of that CO2 came from oil and gas extraction in the tar sands.
That Mr. Flannery is an Australian whose written a book about global warming or some such thing. I'm sure he's not to be believed.
