What is news, the throne speech in Ottawa on December 5 which there are those who consider was a very depressing occasion. In fact, the attempt of solemnity failed.
The Governor-General was kind and friendly and delivered the address in an exceptional way, yet the commentators compared him with the corresponding occasions in London and Washington. In neither of the two places is the camera crowded; language is not absurdly antiquarian; and the head of state who delivers the address does 98 percent of the verbalization and enters and leaves the state, not like a gear in an inelegant procession of mysteriously disguised officials.
Still, these were mere sounds and appearances. The text of the speech was very disturbing. In fact, it has been indicated as a sad succession of promises of expenses marked by recurrences to the call to war against climate change and, in international affairs, a prostration of this country before the United Nations.
Disaster everywhere
You could say that in terms of politics, almost every address sentence was a disaster. It is still assumed that the climate is changing greatly out of historical cyclical fluctuations, a proposition for which there is little evidence, that the cause is anthropogenic emissions and that the result will be the rapid deterioration and destruction of life itself if it is not They take radical measures, we don’t know anything beyond the fact that there seems to be some change in progress.
The fact that the scientific community is very divided and confesses to being seriously devoid of methods to measure climate change cannot be left aside. Ocean temperatures are calculated differently and randomly at different depths and by different types of equipment; The results vary widely and are ambiguous.
However, it has been indicated that this is the Holy Grail of this government, and the Governor-General even inserted a sentence supposedly of his own composition on Earth as a spacecraft, harmless and appropriate given his previous occupation, but none of this belongs to the federal government policy scheme. Likewise, the next objective is zero net carbon emissions by 2050. This makes no sense and is an explicit declaration of war on the oil and gas industries, our largest potential exporter, at a time when the United States has resumed its status. of energy, exporter for the first time in 70 years and added 150,000 jobs in that sector last year.
