public opinion means nothing next to scientific fact. When you have a landscape of denialist propoganda, then public will fall victim to it. It's like North Koreans who don't believe that man has ever been on the moon, or that their leaders were born of immaculate conception and have supernatural powers.

Public opinion won't turn Kim Jong Un Super Saiyan or undo the Apollo missions

In Canada, public opinion generally controls who gets into office and establishes national policy. It's like what we're seeing lately with dwindling support for the fossil fuel industry despite its obvious benefits to our economy.

I agree. When you have some actual scientific facts to back up the apocalyptic nonsense your fellow Church of Global Warming members keep parroting please share it with us, instead of just babbling about "deniers" and insulting people who dare question your religion.

Same study, CBC story with the following correction made after publication:

EDITOR'S NOTE: CBC has made changes to this story following clarification by the researchers. An earlier version said that a majority of Canadians surveyed didn't believe that climate change was caused by humans. In fact, the study found that 61 per cent of respondents believed the earth is getting warmer partly or mostly because of human activities.

who is "we" in this scenario? "We" are seeing "dwindling support"? What the hell are you talking about?

Most Canadians don't believe the global warming narrative, which is an accurate statement since the AGW narrative holds that most of the warming is human caused.

A large percentage of Canadians are Christians, but that doesn't mean that we write laws around shaving beards or not wearing mixed fabrics, or stoning pubescent girls to death.

It's possible to base laws out of evidence and reality as opposed to the ignorance of the masses.

Now if you could only get the global warming crowd to buy into that you'd be onto something.!

[Catri]

I believe that most Canadians who don't believe that climate change is caused (wholly or partly) by humans, very likely also don't believe that most Canadians believe that climate change is caused (wholly or partly) by humans.

"We" as in anyone with their eyes open. How else would you explain the lack of progress on pipeline proposals ?

The word "most" in the above statement completely loads the answer desired. Global warmoing and cooling has taken place since the beginning or time and will continue until the end of time. The part played by mankind has IMO not been conclusively determined. The surface temperature of the earth and atmosphere is presently warming and, as geologists have conclusively proven from historical studies, is affecting local weather patterns all over the world, as well as major ocean currents.

Are you of the opinion that the decisions regarding any pipeline is made on the basis of global warming? Or that possible short or long term global warming plays any part in such decisions?

"we" need to react? React how? Canada produces the equivalent of a mouse fart to "Green House gas" emissions, whatever those even are, so if that mouse fart is reduced, at the expense of billions of dollars to our economy, all so that empty-headed losers can "feel good" about how Canada has "reacted" by reducing their mouse fart to a mosquito fart, is that really something "we" need to do? All for a myth about man-generated CO2?
