Greetings,
Many of you may be aware that German Chancellor Angela Merkel was here
in Halifax on Thursday to witness the signing of a Memorandum of
Understanding between the Halifax Marine Research Institute based at
Dalhousie University, and the Geomar Helmholtz Centre for Ocean
Research in Kiel, Germany to undertake a joint project entitled
Change, Risk and Resources in the Ocean: A Transatlantic and Arctic
Approach. While the scientific details of this collaborative project
are still being worked out, while in Halifax Merkel met with a number
of prominent researchers who will be involved in the project.
I've taken the opportunity of using Merkel's visit here and this new
scientific agreement to take a comparative look at the German and
Canadian development of renewable energy, and both countries records
on climate change and the reduction of greenhouse gases.
Berlin wallet: Merkel invests, Harper divests
http://rabble.ca/blogs/bloggers/christophermajka/2012/08/berlin-wallet-merkel-invests-harper-divests
Merkel's commitment to renewable energy and combating climate change,
and her belief in the importance of knowledge, fact, and science, have
unquestionably made an significant contribution to the progress that
Germany has made in these spheres. Meanwhile, the Harper Government
has erected a "Berlin Wall" around the PMO to exclude science, fact,
knowledge, reason, and logic, and like the East German government of
old, permits nothing not sanctioned by the Communist -- begging your
pardon, the Conservative Party -- to penetrate its ideological fastness.
Cheers,
Chris
