With the release of the Spacing “Green” issue, we have faith that many solutions to the widely-acknowledged-climate-crisis will come at the local level — but there are times when solutions, and leadership, must come from the Federal government. This week Canada is increasingly the target of worldwide scorn as we are seen as a major roadblock in moving forward on climate change. From the Globe and Mail<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The federal government is under withering criticism for its negotiating stance at the Bali conference \u2013 and not just from environmental activists. The latest attacks are coming from respected scientists and from Canada’s fellow negotiators.<\/em><\/p>\n

Rajendra Pachauri, head of the climate science panel that was awarded a Nobel Peace Prize Monday, has blasted the Harper government for its climate stance.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThis particular government has been a government of skeptics,\u201d said Mr. Pachauri, chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which shared the Nobel Prize with Al Gore.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThey do not want to do anything on climate change,\u201d he added in a published interview in New Delhi.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In the Toronto Star, David Suzuki called the Harper government’s spin on the issue “humiliating” and “ludicrous<\/a>” while former editor-and-chief of CBC News says the serious damage is being done<\/a> to Canada’s global reputation.<\/p>\n

Avaaz.org<\/a> has set up an online petition — 47, 511 names at this moment — and will launch a cross-country advertising campaign soon with the final number in hopes of changing our Prime Minister’s tack on this issue. Go here<\/a> to add your name.<\/p>\n
