Even before the government starts implementing a Kyoto Plan they are admitting it will not work.
...The government will table its Kyoto implementation plan today, which calls for between $10 billion to $12 billion in spending over the next five years to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
But the money for emissions-cutting projects, along with tax incentives for industries to cut down on their emissions, might not be enough to do the job.
Emerson said even with those initiatives, Canada will probably have to purchase so-called greenhouse gas credits from abroad in about five to seven years, reports The Globe.
"International purchases may be an important part of (meeting our requirements) in the first Kyoto period," Emerson told the House environment committee on Tuesday.
How much is all of this going to cost? And how does it help the environment to buy pollution from another country?
