[Sust-mar] Head in the Sand, Tar in Every Orifice: Climate Change Policy in Canada

[Christopher Majka]

While Climate Impacts Day connected the dots of extreme weather to  
climate change, the Canadian government appears increasingly  
disconnected and mired in tar. This is the subject of my recent  
article for Rabble.ca:

"There is a pattern to these dots. It's a pattern of avarice,  
irresponsibility, and contempt. A pattern of denial in the face of  
facts; of dissimulation rather than dialogue. A pattern of propaganda  
in the place of science; of self interest trumping accountability.  
Together they form a troubling picture of a government decoupled from  
its responsibilities as a steward of the public interest, and a  
servant of the public good. Climate change is not a theory. A  
government that ignores this is not worthy of the trust that it has  
received from the electorate." - Christopher Majka
