Intensity is not reduction

Harper's government can spin this however they like, but the results remain the same. You can't deal with overall totals of emissions if you only reduce the percentage of pollutants per tonne or per barrel or whatever. Otherwise, you're just giving yourself a license to continue to pollute even more. We're not going to meet Kyoto in 2020 -- we're not going to meet Kyoto, ever. And that's the way Big Oil likes it.

This playbook is right out of the White House. And like Mulroney who made himself look stupid when he went fishing with the elder George Bush, Harper has become the bait for Dubya and Karl Rove.
