Canadian Conservative Government are Environmental and Economic Alarmists
According to the Conservatives implementing the Kyoto protocol would devastate the Canadian Economy. One of the things that the Conservatives keep harping on about is that the former Liberal Government did nothing to implement the Kyoto initiatives over the last 10 years. This isn't really the case as it was the Liberals who called for and financed the studies as to the impact of going forward with the initiative.
We Signed On So We Have To Step Up
The Conservative government here in Canada has retreated from Canada’s commitment to attempt to reach the environmental goals of the Kyoto Accord. Yes you read that correctly.

The Cost of Climate Change
For those of you who haven’t seen the news over the last couple of years, it would appear that our planet is heating up. It’s not just that the overall temperature of the planet is increasing, it’s increasing at an alarming rate. That temperature change of 1 or 2 degrees average doesn’t seem like much, but that average is global. Temperatures closer to the equator haven’t changed all that much, but the temperatures at the poles has more than made up for that lack of change elsewhere.
The Carbon Sink is Clogged
According to the results of a 10 year study out of the English University of East Anglia, researchers have shown that the amount of CO2 being absorbed in the North Atlantic has been reduced by 50% between 1995 and 2005. Scientists are suggesting strongly that if the oceans can no longer absorb the amount of CO2 that it use to, global warming may accelerate as the largest Carbon Sink stops processing CO2.

One True Layout and the Browsers
So it has come to pass that with the development of the latest version of our company's content management system, we are going to try to implement the one true layout concept as set out for standards compliance. My boss and I have had an on and off discussion about this concept for a little over a year, and a recent project that we have been working on has once again brought it back to the front burner.
