It is becoming clear to me that Canada needs more qualified individuals like yourself, Rafe Mair in BC and Naomi Klein to keep us accurately informed. <br />Brenda Lazelle Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17109716962490176227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8673054424836004065.post-74311168522223207932013-05-17T23:12:37.982-07:002013-05-17T23:12:37.982-07:00Have just encountered your page and I guess you sh...Have just encountered your page and I guess you should be complimented for this piece.

Ideally the model would be a national carbon tax."<br />Gordon Lambert, Suncor VP of Sustainable Development<br />“Canada's Oil Insiders Want a Carbon Tax”<br />http://thetyee.ca/News/2012/06/20/Carbon-Tax-Supporters/<br /><br />It's ironic that some of the loudest voices in Canada calling for a carbon tax are from the oil companies. Meanwhile, however, how do the rest of us feel about climate change and carbon taxes?

You would find that they disagree with you.<br /><br />You say that "The best policy would be to have no carbon tax or regulation and focus on what's important. Development, civilization and prosperity." ----- why would you agree with a policy that says "it's OK to use the environment as a free sewer"... it would be like saying "go ahead, dump your garbage and sewage on my front lawn every morning ... it's not important". In my view the only way that you can ignore including the environment in your trilogy of important focii is that you are ignoring the fact that wrecking the environment will sooner or later wreck any opportunities to be prosperous... We on this planet are living out the Easter Island syndrome... except that most people haven't yet realised it and are just looking at their own back yard and saying "isn't life just great"... looking beyond and seeing the bigger picture would cause you to arrive at different conclusions.Gordon Howellhttp://www.hme.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8673054424836004065.post-18449974476007019882013-04-27T16:29:26.847-07:002013-04-27T16:29:26.847-07:00Great article!

It is thick and highly viscous and it is not liquid like oil. In fact you can say it is semi solid like asphalt.
