Under the headline “Harper vows $100M to fight climate change” follows a story that has nothing to do with fighting climate change, which the Prime Minister Harper’s government has steadfastly refused to do. Rather than writing laws to reduce Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions, Harper wants to give money to poor countries, which like the rest, have to deal with the consequences.

“Those monies are to be distributed almost exclusively to countries that aren’t major contributors to climate change, or major sources of greenhouse gas emissions,” Harper said, “but nonetheless will be affected” by climate change.

This is a little like spraying pepper spray into an enclosed space, handing out bottles of water to the children in it, then continuing to spray.
