    I’ve missed the other ones. I’ll have to go check them out.

    Suzuki is a bit overly dramatic and unintentionally or otherwise things he says tend to be presented out of their appropriate context. In this case you’d expect Canada to be one of the top per capita producers of greenhouse gasses. We’re a BIG country, bigger than the US, yet we have 1/10 the population. It also gets cold here in the winter time. So we have to use a lot of energy per capita keeping warm and getting around. Sweden is cold too, but they have 9 million people, a little less than a third of Canada’s population, in an area about 1/20 the size of Canada. The also don’t have the kind of industry we have that produces lots of greenhouse gasses, namely the petrochemical industry.
