In a January 20th letter, Canada’s Environment Minister, Peter Kent, assured Canadians that the Canadian Government, despite having withdrawn from the Kyoto Protocol, nonetheless has a plan on climate change.  But reading the letter, it’s pretty clear that that there is no real plan, unless you count planning to do nothing.  Not only have experts shown that the pieces of this plan will not achieve its goals, but a climate change plan does not address Canada's energy needs is no climate plan at all.  If we want to see what a real climate plan might look like, let’s look to the U.K., where successive Labour and Conservative governments have, unlike Canada’s governments, put in place real climate plans, and backed them up with laws and policies to achieve real results.
