Nancy Greene Raine's Statement

Well, it's Kyoto time. Over the next couple of days, you'll be bombarded with dire warnings of ecological disaster - the 11th Conference of the Parties of Kyoto is in Montreal this week.

Lorne Gunter of the National Post has written a nice opinion piece today. Former Olympic gold medal skier Nancy Greene Raine was asked to contribute a statement to be used to spread the word on the impending disaster.

Fortunately, Raine decided to provide her own script. Here is her statement.

Scientific discoveries in the years since the Kyoto Protocol was signed have rendered it out of date. It is time to re-evaluate Canada's position....The Kyoto Protocol is not in our best interest, and will not prevent climate change. The billions being wasted trying to stop this natural phenomenon should be diverted to solving real environmental problems that we can control.

Of course, with such a Statement, the powers that be decided not to film Raine.
