Notable quotable

Posted by David Roberts at 5:03 PM on 19 Feb 2008

"I think this is a landmark decision in North America as far as government addressing global warming. The B.C. government has decided to use one of the most powerful incentives at its disposal to reduce pollution."

-- Ian Bruce of the Suzuki Foundation, on the carbon tax just implemented by the provincial government of British Columbia

Carbon wingprint

I once asked David Suzuki two questions:

  1. What his carbon "wingprint" was (he flies around like a butterfly telling people to stay carbon neutral),
  2. Why he couldn't publish his books electronically to save a few trees.

That little ol' devil never replied.

Suzuki's emissions

Obviously this isn't his whole carbon footprint, but The Hour did a piece on a day in the life:

Windless flatulence!

dissociated - thanks for the link.

The page said: "In his defence [Brit spelling], David [Suzuki] has flown carbon neutral"

Why can't people get it when they are shafted?

The flying "carbon neutral" claim is as valid a claim as farting without gas!
