"The Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut and Canada's leading Inuit organization all expressed worries this weekend about how such a plan would impact those in the North who depend on emission-spewing diesel generators to keep the lights on through the long, dark arctic winters."
The most interesting aspect of this is that the North is generally considered the most vulnerable to climate changes when it comes to the "effects" of man-made global warming.
Polar bears are supposedly vanishing, the ice is receding, and the food sources are changing for the Inuit. But the Inuit, that have been in the North for hundreds of years, and have quite ably adapted to previous climate changes and survived.
Yet, the Premiers of all three northern territories are speaking out against this destructive plan. Why would they ignore a large part of their collective constituencies?
It's the economy, stupid! The northern Premiers realize that the Green Shift plan has nothing to do with climate change, and everything to do with wealth distribution and vote buying for the East.
