If the Earth were in distress, say, heating up to dangerous temperatures, the public would band together.

Despite Peter Kent's "Kyoto is in the past" mentality, look what was approved in Durban: a second commitment period under Kyoto. Hardly "in the past." What's in the past? Canada's reputation as a country with any integrity.
