A new report from the Alberta-based Pembina Institute and the David Suzuki Foundation, commissioned by TD Bank and released this past week, alarmingly lays out the economic impact on Canada of achieving even the modest CO2 reduction targets set by the Canadian government – a 20 per cent reduction on 2006 emissions – with western Canada, and Alberta in particular, targeted to beat the brunt of the devastation.

While claiming that Canada could meet these targets and reduce CO2 emissions, the report says nothing about the fact that doing so will have no discernable impact on the climate.

In other signs of desperation:

1) Al Gore, Nobel prizewinner and champion warmist, on Tuesday told a Leaders in Dubai Business Forum that sea levels will rise 220 feet within ten years – even though, according to satellite measures and the UK Met Office, ocean levels rose eight inches over the last century and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), itself no slouch when it comes to apocalyptic alarmism, predicts rises of 1.26 inches per decade for the remainder of the century.

2) David Suzuki has repeated his suggestion, made when the BC Premier asked Alberta to join his carbon tax initiative, that Alberta Premier Ed and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper should be jailed for their policies on climate change.

3) British journalist and writer George Monboit also repeated his suggestion that, every time a flood occurs in Bangladesh, an airline executive should be jailed on the grounds that airline emissions are a major cause of warming.

4) British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has said that if Copenhagen fails to produce an agreement then it will be too late for mankind to act to “stopâ€

How will those guys get to Copenhagen. Inside a whale's belly?
