NEW YORK, N.Y. - Global warming will only be brought under control by deep international collaboration and intense investment in technology — not yelling on street corners, Prime Minister Stephen Harper says. Harper was in New York, addressing an influential group of American academics at the Council on Foreign Relations and meeting separately with a tight-knit group of business leaders. With several dozen protesters outside the venue and a couple of probing questions from the floor about Canadas environmental record, Harper defended his regulatory approach to emissions reductions as the most effective, practical way to achieve concrete results. And he urged other countries, rich and poor alike, to step up with concrete plans of their own. Its not just a matter of setting targets. We actually have to have ways of reaching them, a relaxed Harper told a packed room. huffingtonpost.ca/2013/05/16/stephen-harper-oil-sands_n_3284449.html
