Our politicians in Canada haven't being paying attention. How do I know? Easy. On the day that Obama was sworn into office, Environment Minister Jim Prentice said that his government will work closely with the new administration, adding that Obama’s environmental principles are “virtually identical” to those of the Conservatives.

It’s because they’re afraid of being targeted by the coal lobby. During first 100 days of the Obama administration people and groups around the country are urged to join or initiate an action which highlights the power past coal message. See the Power Past Coal website.

"Cap and trade" may be the easiest solution, as it allows industry to continue emitting GHG's into our atmosphere. But it is not the best solution, and it may turn out not to be a solution at all, because "cap and trade" will take precious time, time we do not have.
