Green Promises!

One may not be able to tell from this scene taken from the deceased "Futurama," but the issue of global warming is a very serious subject amongst society. So serious in fact that its public interest is only surpassed by other issues such as the Hindenburg and how many children Brad and Angelina now have. Seriously, it's for real. Serious! Dude, I'm not kidding here!
Realizing that global warming will not go away, much like the Bloc Québécois, Stephen Harper is making promises about future efforts for kicking global warming to the curb, or so you're to think. Following suit with a close friend, whom for this blog's reference shall be known as G. Bush.....rather, George B., Prime Minister Harper has alluded to yet another connection he would like to make with American policies.......

(HA. Like Marilyn and JFK, get it??)
All jokes aside, one should be aware of the fact that Canada is strongly considering joining along with our southern neighbors in the Asia-Pacific Partnership in their part to reduce worldly emissions. Bill Curry of the Globe and Mail is wise in beginning and ending his article with mention to the Kyoto Protocol, for in doing so he is drilling into his readers minds, the neglected commitments made by the Canadian Government in previous pacts for the prevention of global warming. Weighing heavily in readers minds as the last comments stated in his article, all one must do to see how important these previous commitments are being weighed in this decission, is perform a simple youtube search on Kyoto. After doing so, one will find that Canada has decided much like the American's to back out of this global policy because they find the commitments they've previously made to be too restirctive and unlikely to comply with.
A recognizable face in Canadian environmental issues, the one and only David Suzuki had this to say to the Federal Environment Minister, John Baird, about the failed efforts to comply with these agreements.

Much like when Dr. Huxtable would preach to Theo and the rest of his clan over important matters, one can not help but take the paternalistic lecture given by Suzuki in the following video to heart. Let down by the failed promises of his government already, Suzuki knows not to look into future promises for they have not been able to comply with previous obligations, an allusion similarily made by Curry at the end of his article. Leaving on the mind of readers as to whether or not this is yet another empty promise.
