Not really. Basically, the foundation is accountable to the Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society, which has come out strongly in favour of compliance with the Kyoto Protocol. The Society has clearly made its position known.
More research is needed into climate change and related factors. Obviously we need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. There are many ways to achieve that objective. However, the methods selected must be as effective as the ones advocated in the Kyoto Protocol. These are minimum requirements, because as we well know, Kyoto is a mere drop in the bucket.
Clear, more needs to be done. There are a variety of ways of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The foundation believes the government must assume its responsibilities in this area and determine how best to meet its commitment. We firmly believe that emission levels must be reduced, even if the cuts are minimal in relation to requirements.
