Canada wins first, second, and third place Fossil of the Day Award in Cancun today. The award is given to the country who has done the most to disrupt and undermine negotiations and diplomatically akin to the elementary school dunce cap: dramatic and unpleasant for the targeted country.
Our first place award was granted for killing the Climate Change Accountability Act. Second place award goes for Federal efforts to gut climate change programs, including:
- The only major federal support program for renewable energyprogram funding energy efficiency upgrades for homeowners
- funding for Canada’s climate science foundation
- clean fuels policies in other countries. Internal government documents released today reveal that Canada worked to “kill” a US federal clean fuels policy to protect its tar sands, working with allies like the Bush administration and Exxon.

And third place award goes for a general commitment to regain title of “colossal fossil” as the country making the least constructive contribution to the negotiations.
