Canada pulls out of Kyoto Protocol

http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/story/2011/12/12/pol-kent-kyoto-pullout.html

What does this mean? Why did Canada do this? What's the Kyoto Protocol? What other agreements have come since?  What will Canada do to reduce greenhouse emissions and address climate change?  What has BC's response been? Look into some of these questions, or ones of your own on the topic, and leave a comment with the results of your inquiry.

You may also want to think about Justin Trudeau's response to Peter Kent's arrogance in parliament -- the govt's environment minister would not allow opposition MPs to attend Durban, and then mocks an opposition MP for not attending! Check out Justin's explanation of his choice of words. And see what others thought of the parliamentary exchange.

Great Start!

Hello SS10 students... I'm so impressed with the first four of you bravely presenting your Heritage projects on Friday. I am honoured to hear and receive your stories and research, and can't wait for the rest of your presentations.
