Dion Blows Hypocritical Hot Air on Climate Change

Stephane Dion, arrogantly, cavalierly expelling greenhouse gas. Shame on him! Contributing to global warming while claiming to oppose it! Bet he eats lots of beans, too!
Story here. h/t: National Newswatch
Liberal leader Stephane Dion is accusing the Prime Minister of not meaning what he says about tackling climate change. I mean, blah, blah, blah de feckin' blah, eh? Just babbling his nonsensical political poopheadery is contributing to climate change! Maybe he should save his foul breath for telling the truth rather than making unfounded partisan accusations, eh?
Besides, Dion was part of the Liberal government that signed a piece of paper called "Kyoto", as if it meant feck-all. Of course it didn't.
You see, the Liberals promised to "do stuff" to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. But they did nothing at all of substance, as we well recall.
Greenhouse gas emissions actually skyrocketed under the Liberal regime following their signing of "Kyoto".
In fact, our emissions rose faster than did those of the United States, who did not sign Kyoto!
I don't see where Dion can possibly get off yammering as he is against the current government's determination to do something itself. Can Dion prove that the Conservatives will do nothing? Can he prove that they're going to do worse than his old government did, with himself in charge of the Environment portfolio? Nope. He offers no proof. Just meaningless Liberal hot air!
Hey, M. Dion... you may believe in the "science" alleged to be behind "climate change". Mr. Harper may believe in it, too. But guess what? I don't. Sure, I believe in climate change. It's happened throughout the Earth's history. Ah, but who can forget about the Ice Age? We weren't around then, but the world still warmed up and changed radically. Hell, the continents previously broke and drifted way apart... the oceans rose, covering plenty of land that used to be exposed. We didn't do that, did we? Nope! There weren't even people back then!
So where's the scientific proof that it's our fault now, every little thing that goes "wrong" with the climate, every little change? Has it really, really been conclusively proven scientifically that it isn't happening regardless of the existence of human civilization and the burning of fossil fuels, etc? I've never seen proof. Just a lot of claims and bunch of "scientists" getting together to say the same thing. How do we know they aren't just bullshitting us for some reason? Maybe they're environmental-extremist "scientists", maybe they'll lie to forward their agenda? How do we know one way or another? Too many questions; too much reasonable doubt, I'm sorry, old chap!
Besides, just a little while ago, the most important issue for you wasn't climate change. It was same-sex marriage. That was the focus of your last regime, not climate change. Why? Couldn't have been the polls. But I suspect today it's the polls that make you make this particular big deal. Hell, you've dropped health care as your former number one priority for something relatively esoteric and farfetched, in my opinion. I mean, people understand health care very well, not "climate change".
Ah, why do I bother? You'll do whatever you want. That's ok, M. Dion. It's your right. But it's also your right to campaign on a single, narrow issue and lose because of that obsessive, narrow fixation.
Bonne chance, M. Dion! Ooh la-la!
