David Suzuki Fact Check
According to David Suzuki (The Hour, CBC, November 3, 2006) he met with Stephen Harper when he was a Reform MP and Harper expressed his disagreement with the Kyoto Protocol.
What's wrong with this? Well, Stephen Harper resigned as a Reform MP on January 14, 1997 while the Kyoto Protocol didn't exist until December 1997.
To be fair, it's a minor memory flaw for Suzuki but it does seem representative of the way the doom and gloomers take liberties with the facts. If only they would express concern for global warming (stil a hotly contested theory) rather than harping on our impending global doom.
For a classic example check out some doom and gloom government propaganda from 1976. Looks like global warming wasn't an issue then, mostly because the armageddon du jour was that we'd be out of oil by 1986 (thus reducing emissions to near zero!).

The propaganda is hilarious! Your parents tax dollars at 'work', lol...
David Suzuki has never let a fact get in the way of one of his fairytales, he's a celebrity, the Paris Hilton of Canadian 'science'.

I understand that as a young science professor, Suzuki fudged observations in research data if it didn't agree with his hypothesis. Like the other anyonymous says, LOL, "David Suzuki has never let a fact get in the way of one of his fairytales."
What gets me, is that people take this guy seriously. He's a shamelss self-promoting megalomaniac--and he's lionized himself at our expense, via the CBC.
His series "A Planet for the Taking" is full of lies about Christianity, for a start, and yet it was bought by school boards across Canada to propagandize our kids. Most of them think that David Suzuki is a Canadian saint when he's actually a Canadian shyster.
How come Canadians can be so wrong so often?
'Good thing Suzuki's "retiring." He should have retired a long time ago.
