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 — 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

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153This particular government has been a government of skeptics,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Mr. Pachauri, chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which shared the Nobel Prize with Al Gore.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153They do not want to do anything on climate change,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d 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 Tony Burman says there is 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
