Harper letter dismissed Kyoto a money-sucking socialist scheme
Tue Jan 30, 7:33 PM
By Alexander Panetta
OTTAWA (CP) - A prime minister who now promises to fight climate change once ridiculed the Kyoto accord as a money-sucking socialist scheme and said he would battle to defeat it.
Stephen Harper derided the global treaty and questioned the science of climate change in a 2002 fundraising letter sent to members of his now-defunct Canadian Alliance party. With polls showing the environment is a top priority with voters and Harper keen to bolster his environmental credentials, the letter could prove embarrassing.
It was circulated Tuesday by the Liberals, who said it unmasks Harper as a climate-change denier.
"Kyoto is essentially a socialist scheme to suck money out of wealth-producing nations," says the letter, signed by Harper.
