I'm in Montreal, Quebec. There is tracking going on here but it is being met with tons of resistance. New laws will hopefully make it clean or keep it out of Canada permanently.
Quebec is not Canada. If the Quebec government wants to ban it then that is there business. The other provinces can make their own decisions on it and you, and the rest of Quebec, can keep your noses out of the business of other provinces.
Quebec is the most leftist, socialist and corrupt jurisdiction north of Cuba and the less influence it has on the rest of the country the better.
They are only doing this to reduce CO2 emissions. CO2 is not pollution. Even if it were this will have no impact on a global scale.
Not true. CO2 was declared a pollutant. The EPA lumped carbon dioxide with five other gases -- methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons and sulfur hexafluoride -- into a single class for regulatory purposes. That's because they share similar properties: All are long-lived and well-mixed in the atmosphere; all trap heat that otherwise would leave the earth and go into outer space; and all are "directly emitted as greenhouse gases" rather than forming later in the atmosphere.

All this is going to do is to lead to more of that awful fracking that you hate so much and drive up the cost of natural gas.
Hopefully not. There are plenty of green alternatives.

Here amongst the intelligent, we understand that these regs will not only jack prices up for energy but also create a shortage where we won't even be able to meet demand.
The EPA is, By Law, making the coal industry reduce emissions so that you and your future kids can breathe. IF the price of coal goes up, isn't it worth the price? And you do know that not all of your electricity comes from coal, right? In the US, only 37% of electricity comes from coal. 93% of electricity in Kentucky comes from Coal, which is very disturbing. Kentucky can do like the rest of the world, and and balance their own power grid out by getting electricity from other sources including renewable energy. They have over 15 years to make it happen.
It was a documentary on one of the earliest great civilizations...The Egyptians.
They showed excavations of small "towns" back in 9000 B.C.
But these places are in the middle of The Sahara Desert. How could that be?
Then they showed bones from elephants, giraffes, antelopes, bison, etc.
How could that be?
Here's how and WHY:
9000 B.C. The Sahara Desert was a savannah. Full of green vegetation, fields of green for animals to graze on. And early humans were there as hunters and gatherers.
Somewhere around 5000 B.C. the rains stopped, the area dried up...and became a harsh desert that we know today.
Guess what? The Earth CHANGES. With or without human actions.
Unless Mark Prince would like to suggest that perhaps primitive people were racing around in their evil cars and burning coal to stay warm etc., etc.
That's the one thing I never see "climate change" nutcases ever explain...the world's climate CHANGES over time no matter what.
But that's always left out of the equation. It's always mankind driving everything.
there's no historical correlation between CO2 and temperature.
Nice try from the peanut gallery.
I certainly trust your judgement.

9/11 and Iraq should be mentioned in the same breath. Iraq supports terrorism, Iraq has chemical weapons, ties to terrorism, and a rogue dictator who invaded kuwait.

Not by law, son, and not so my children can breath. My children breath just fine now and despite the hysteria you've bought into, our air has gotten cleaner and cleaner.
Oh, and the 39% of our energy derived from coal is the largest amount derived from any source.
Here amongst the intelligent we understand that you can't magically replace 39% of your energy output with another source. Especially since nuclear isn't on the table.
I'm sure that you, American hater that you are, applaud this because it weakens us but let me clue you in, we've had enough of the idiot left. These standards will be blocked by people with common sense.
I'm not a dinosaur, I'm a crocodile. I've seen dinosaurs come and go and I'm left unimpressed.
