"I'm still reeling from the shock, but after no debate, no consideration at all, all of a sudden in another ambush move by Stephen Harper, the Senate voted yesterday to kill the climate change without debate," said Bruce Hyer, MP for Thunder Bay-Superior North.

Bill C-311, which was voted down late Tuesday 43-42, would have called on the government to establish five-year plans to meet greenhouse gas emission targets by 2050, according to Senator Grant Mitchell, the author of the bill in the Senate.

2. Earthlings are slow learners, always. Maybe the last one left standing will

3. Your eloquence is matched only by the sad truth of what you say...

I agree. The planet may survive...but mankind will not. Probably all the species remaining will be far better off without us.
