I Wish David Success But I Have Some Questions

Will this be a walking tour or will he be using one of the conveyances which contribute to global warming? Will the comments be oral or will they be written or electronic? Where can I find the financial statements for The David Suzuki Foundation? Will David be touring those countries that have been give a pass on Kyota like China and Russia? BTW I don't support describing David as "comrade" because I see him as big player in the formation of cottage industries.

David Suzuki gathering material for lobbying efforts

David Suzuki is planning a “If you were Prime Minister” cross-country tour beginning February 1st. The question: What would you do for the environment if you were Prime Minister? His entourage will include other Canadian "celebrities" such as Anne Murray, Sarah Harmer, Rick Mercer and NHL players Andrew Ference and Robyn Regehr. Comrade Suzuki plans to take his findings to Ottawa at the end of the "dialogue."

"People of all stripes are lending their support to the tour because the environment isn't a partisan issue, says Dr. Suzuki. "Issues like global warming not only threaten our environment, but also our economy and even our national identity."

Global cooling, or depletion of the ozone layer, or global warming - the doomsday prophecy currently in vogue - is indeed something to be concerned about, though for rather different reasons than Suzuki would espouse. The hysteria over climate change, and the corresponding assumption that Big Government can do something about it, is currently one of the greatest threats to the overall well-being of citizens worldwide. I'd have more respect for the guy if he planned on walking across the country to deliver his lectures, but needless to say, he'll be traveling in style.

The David Suzuki Foundation is committed to reducing and offsetting its greenhouse gas emissions by going Carbon Neutral. All of the major emissions associated with this tour, as well as from day-to-day Foundation operations (including staff commuting, paper use, electricity consumption, and air travel) are offset through investments in sustainable energy projects, such as wind farms, solar installations, or energy efficiency projects.

As Bono continues to justify his attempts at tax evasion by drawing attention to his efforts at raising awareness while he lobbies governments worldwide to funnel even more money into third world countries that will ultimately end up in the wallets of despots, so this apologist for Stalin is "progressively" demanding the government control the amount of carbon emitted, though he is one of the more profligate contributors.

Though London is not currently on the list of cities scheduled to receive Comrade Suzuki, Londoners will still have a chance to learn how to tread lightly, lest they incur the wrath of the Earth Goddess. On Saturday, February 17, Suzuki will be "Leaving a Small Footprint" at the London Convention Centre, beginning at 1:00pm.

Also appearing at Dust my Broom. Remember to send Fenris all of your Canadian Tire money so he can crusade against intellectual poverty as earnestly as Bono and Comrade Suzuki.
