Candles for Change

 

Church members and friends held a vigil December 12 at the Durnford family residence to push politicians taking part in the Copenhagen climate-change summit to take action. Thanks to Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Canada's image has been tarnished in the minds of environmentalists, scientists and other developed countries attending the gathering. The goal of the summit is to reach an agreement committing developed countries - Canada included - to substantial reductions in carbon emissions from 1990 levels. Problem is, Canada is refusing to play along, earning it such "awards" as fossil of the day.
