Comment forums such as these are highly unrepresentative, and draw motivated, often angry and partisan, commenters. This is clear enough when comparing the posts here to unbiased polling data showing a majority of Canadians are in favour of taking action on climate change and of pricing greenhouse gas emissions.

It gets even sillier when commenters use their faint memories of high school science and arguments from 'skeptical' blog sites to claim that the vast majority of climate scientists as well as every scientific organization in the world that has taken a position on human-caused global warming are completely wrong about their own areas of expertise.
