Harper Will Support UN Call For Global Climate Summit - London Free Press

[hatrack]

OTTAWA -- Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced his support for a UN summit on global warming yesterday as past musings about climate change came back to haunt him.

His explicit acknowledgement of the urgent need to tackle climate change was made as his political foes pummelled him with his own words for the second straight day.

Harper vowed Canada would attend a global summit that hasn't even been called yet -- a conference on climate change that some in the United Nations are demanding.

"We all recognize this is a serious environmental problem that needs immediate action. Canada's decision to do nothing over the past decade was a mistake, and we want to do better."

How decisive! And you know, I'll just bet when he gets to the summit meeting, he's going to say very similar things!!

1. And he's going to recommend that the summit meet again

in - oh, ten years or so. I gotta admit it's fun watching "Steve" twisting in the wind of public opinion...

By the way, how did you find something from that moribund rag the London Free Press? London's my old home town, and that paper is the most miserable excuse for a daily I've ever seen. There are rural weeklies that do harder hitting journalism.

2. Luck of the draw - it was there on the compilation page . . .

And knowing very little of the Canadian press as I do . . . .
