I'll start with
a review of the science underlying the climate change issue. We also need to
put Kyoto in the broader context of longer-term international action on
climate change - Kyoto is but a first step.
I've been
involved with Canada's developing plan to meet the Kyoto commitment and will
provide some background on that as well as the latest "plan"
The public
debate on Kyoto really only started this summer. I've noticed many serious
errors in the newspapers. I'll comment on some of those and other issues not
yet discussed. I've also noticed accuracy of reporting is improving recently.
We still need more time.
