Hmm. Certainly indicates an economic slowdown. It can't be from governmenbt action since the P.M.of Canada is doing less than nothing on the environment.

"figures released Friday by Environment Canada.

The back-to-back reduction was attributed to a drop in the amount of coal used to produce electricity,

warmer winters leading to reduced fuel consumption for space heating,"

We the AGW crisis peddlers have no idea what we are saying. "warmer winters"

"To the millions of people whose lives have been seriously disrupted by this year's freeze, the concept of global warming must seem awfully remote. "

"The sun ... appears to be the main forcing agent in global climate change," they write.

"Given the number of worldwide cold events, it is no surprise that 2007 didn't turn out to be the warmest ever. In fact, 2007's global temperature was essentially the same as that in 2006 - and 2005, and 2004, and every year back to 2001. The record set in 1998 has not been surpassed. For nearly a decade now, there has been no global warming. Even though atmospheric carbon dioxide continues to accumulate - it's up about 4 percent since 1998 - the global mean temperature has remained flat........"

you don't even like good news, do you? you greenies want a disaster so badly, you rubbish even people who do what you say they should do. This is bad news for you I suppose, because now you find it harder to whinge about Canada. Still, have a look at China and India.(oh no, you can't , can you? only the wicked West can possibly pollute!)
