ON THEIR RECORD: Liberal failure on climate change is another Inconvenient Truth - Friday June 2, 2006
The reviews are in.
The Liberal Party's ability to show concern about climate change after having been the architects of the last 13 years of failure on the file is "a staggering display of shamelessness."
The Liberals used an advance showing of former US Vice President Al Gore's climate change documentary "An Inconvenient Truth" to emote on the urgency of the issue.
Posted to the Liberal Party website today is a press release containing skillful performances like:
"Global warming is more than just a political issue, it is one of the biggest moral challenges facing our planet" -Liberal MP Paul Martin, Cabinet minister for 4,478 days until February 2006
"The mountain pine beetle and Spruce beetle are coming to Yukon. People are losing their livelihoods, which enable them to feed their children. This is a very real and urgent problem." - Liberal MP Larry Bagnell
Once more, what the Liberals say now, bears no relation to what they did in office.
Liberal record: Despite voting on 10 December 2002, to ratify the international Kyoto Protocol to reduce pollution, the Liberals didn't present a plan to implement the treaty for 28 months.
Liberal record: In April 2005 coalition of eleven environmental groups called the Liberals' Kyoto plan "inadequate." -source
Liberal record: A recent analysis of the Liberal government's approach to climate change concluded that emissions would have increased by 50 percent within 35 years. -'Burning Our Money to Warm the Planet'
The inconvenient truth for Liberals is that climate change worsened over their 13 years in office.
That's on their record.
