Did you know that one of Canada’s leading scientists, Don MacIver was dropped from the climate change delegation? Jim Prentice (my “second-favourite” MP, y’all know who my “first-favourite” is, right?) says that it was a cost-cutting measure.
All this tries to make sense… but the article also says that MacIver’s costs were to be covered by the World Meteorological Organization”as part of his role as the chair of the organizing committee” and not by Canada. Now, MacIvor likely would have been drawing a salary during the conference, so I guess that money is better spent doing… something else that scientists do. Because we’d hate to have the scientists COMMUNICATING with one another as they try to get us out of this mess we’ve made.
