Who's Scaring Who?

The lefties are jumping all over the Conservatives for "scaring" people about Kyoto. So, who is scaring who?

Here's what happens if the world doesn't meet their Kyoto targets:

Click on some of the links, you will be astounded.

Sea level has risen around 130 metres (400 feet) since the peak of the last ice age about 18,000 years ago. Most of the rise occurred before 6,000 years ago. From 3,000 years ago to the start of the 19th century sea level was almost constant, rising at 0.1 to 0.2 mm/yr. Since 1900 the level has risen at 1 to 3 mm/yr;[1] since 1992 satellite altimetry from TOPEX/Poseidon indicates a rate of rise about 3 mm/yr.[2]

Okay, 3mm/yr, hardly the 20 feet Gore talks about, 3mm? Are you kidding me, 3mm? Wow I wonder how New York is going to handle that massive amount of increase? They better get one sandbag out there FAST!!

Not convinced yet?

A report by economist Sir Nicholas Stern suggests that global warming could shrink the global economy by 20%.
But taking action now would cost just 1% of global gross domestic product, the 700-page study says.
Tony Blair said the Stern Review showed that scientific evidence of global warming was "overwhelming" and its consequences "disastrous".


Okay, that's one side, overwhelming and disastrous consequences. This has been the language used for over 20 years. Kyoto is a new God, but he is a powerful God, because Gore and Suziki tell us.

So, over to the darker side:

Here's an interesting site, haven't read all the articles, but I will read some.

Of course, the bad Conservatives, dared to inform Canadians that there just might be a cost to Kyoto.

Gasoline will cost more than $1.60 a litre over the 2008-to-2012 period
275,000 Canadians working today will lose their jobs by 2009
Job loss will cause unemployment rates to rise 25 per cent by 2009
The decline of economic activity in the range of $51 billion
"I don't expect Liberals, NDP or Green Party members to come out and support the Conservative plan... which I think is going to be very effective at reducing green house gas emissions in a balanced way," Baird said Friday.


Now, the question is, who's scaring who?

20 foot waves crashing down on New York, or 275,000 jobs lost in Canada?

So, the average voter needs to decide, job or Kyoto, hummm tough one!
