This is a great sign ahead of Copenhagen. The leaders of the opposition parties that voted in support, one of which will likely be in power after the next election, should travel to Copenhagen with assurances that they will take bolder action than the current leadership.

Meme mime, you’ve got nothing to fear.

If the climate movement succeeds, you have a positive, clean-energy future to look forward to, a lower-consumption, higher life-value one. A future where people enjoy *life* and *living* and *arts* and *community* more, instead of enjoying simple, superficial *having stuff* as their primary life goal.

You can also look forward to a future where poverty in the world is not made worse by drought, flood, rising sea-level or desertification, but instead where poverty is addressed by turning people’s local agricultural resources back to their local communities, rather than to multinational traders and profiteers.

For example: Why is the population of Kenya starving when their scarce water is being used to feed their cut-flower export industry (so we can buy pretty flowers in our flower stores in Europe), with profits accruing to a small number of wealthy owners?!

The current world is crazy, and ignorant. We can change it for the better.

This move from Canada gives great hope. I look forward to Harper getting kicked out in the next Canadian election. Keep at it, Canadian youth climate movement!

The most important event for civilized humans at any point in history besides witch burning and sacrificing virgins has got to be the lazy media being complicit in hiding the truth about a CO2 theory that has convinced 2 generations that the planet is going to die.
The global village gave us too many truths and the media took advantage of this open sewer of facts and helped fabricate a fraudulent crisis.
This irresponsible journalism led us to war against a false enemy making the WMD scam look mild and was bigger than the Maddoff, Enron and Watergate scandals COMBINED on an order of magnitude larger than the outright theft of billions of dollars worldwide in the financial crash. The UN has allowed Carbon Trading to trump 3rd World Education, clean water and starvation rescue.
The CBC and Suzuki have turned Nature lovers into crying apocalyptic doomers. Nice job.
I fear that this fear of the unknown will drag us down to a new Dark Age of suffering, panic and ignorance.
