Cassandra, I love the per capita argument lefties use since it ignores the important issue of mass transfer of CO2 to the atmosphere and who is responsible for it:  China.  10 billion tons of CO2, versus 1/20 that for Canada.  If CO2 is the villain, the first target would be the one emitting most: China.  We give honest assessments of our emissions. And China?  See the NYT to see how they intentionally underestimated their emissions by 14% - more than Canada's annual total.  China more emits more  per capita that the EU 28 countries, and more in total emissions than  the USA, EU 29 and Canada combined.  Yet they build coal power plants while we close ours.  

I realize you are paid  Liberal operative, but please, make sure your arguments reflect the real villains rather than what Greenpeace tells you to say.
