I'm interested how little attention this "Durban" thread attracted.  I note that the other one in the cafe is also not receiving many posts.  I makes me think that the government's level of concern for environmental issues reflects the engagement of Canadians generally.  That does not bode well for our economic or environmental wellbeing in the future.
