“Canada’s fight against global warming has been a losing battle with an unknown price-tag that could leave taxpayers on the hook for up to $1 billion in subsidies for polluting companies, according to the federal commissioner of the environment. But commissioner Johanne Gelinas issues a call for the Stephen Harper government not to abandon progress made, instead stating that ‘a massive scale-up of efforts is needed’ to at least slow the country’s growing production of greenhouse gases.” (09/29/06)
