2/3 of Canada's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Are Produced By 70,000 Canadians In A Small Town In Alberta

Roughly 30 million people live in Canada.  Take all of the carbon dioxide they personally produce - cars, homes, boats, recreational vehicles - and all of the industry that it takes to run Canada - industry, agriculture, hydro, etc - and then consider that these 30 million people only produce 1/3 of the greenhouse gases that 70,000 humans produce in Ft. McMurray, Alberta.  And the next time someone asks me to drive my car or tractor a little less in order to have less impact on global warming, and I am going to laugh in their face...

The Most Polluted Place On Earth

400 ppm

Flaring excess gas is widely regarded as environmentally damaging, as burning the methane results in greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change.

Fossil fuel combustion from various industrial processes accounted for about 14% of total US CO2 emissions and 123% of total US greenhouse emissions in 2011.

Rios Montt Guilty Of Genocide...Who Can Be Next?: "If One Is Judged, All Are Judged"

          In a unanimous decision Guatemalan courts trying dictator Gen. Rios Montt on genocide, handed down a guilty verdict.  It is the first time that a head of state has been found guilty in the Americas in his own country of such a crime.  And for the first time in history carbon dioxide levels have surpassed 400 ppm (oceanic acidification has already increased by 1/3 over what it was 200 years ago).  Does that mean that other Western leaders can likewise be tried and convicted of genocide? And when does environmental degradation to the point of adversely affecting health and well-being also become a crime against humanity?
