“Our pledge is weaker than most major European pledges, and weaker than that of the U.S.,” Environmental Defence programs director Keith Brooks told CTVNews.ca from Toronto. “Canada’s Emissions Reduction Plan is the most detailed climate plan this country has ever had, and yet it indulges in magical thinking in proposing that oil production can increase by almost a million barrels per day while emissions come down.”says without further action, the planet will be between 2.4°C and 3.
The IPCC says reaching that target is still possible, if the world steps up efforts and reduces global greenhouse gas emissions by 43 per cent by 2030, and reaches net zero carbon dioxide emissions in the early 2050s. “It’s now or never, if we want to limit global warming to 1.5°C,” said Jim Skea, who co-chaired the group that produced the UN report. “Without immediate and deep emissions reductions across all sectors, it will be impossible.”The 3,675-page report was produced by 278 authors from 65 countries, and was approved by the IPCC’s 195 member governments, which includes Canada. Inreleased Monday, Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault thanked Canadians who contributed.
“The science shows that it is vital that countries do more to address climate change and keep the Paris Agreement goal of limiting temperature rise to 1.5°C within reach, and on a faster timeline,” Guilbeault said. “We must increase our ambition to avoid catastrophic climate change and fully seize the economic opportunities that ambitious action presents.”
CTV aka the enquirer... BS at its best!! If they were real news they would question the BS being pushed to expose some truths.
Lather, rinse, repeat: cdnpoli
Magical thinking fits right in with the expectations of these groups wrt renewable energy so what are they complaining about?
CTV sucks balls 🏈
The UN/WEF have turned into global cults.
Tell it to Russia , any idea what one tank farm emits. We need a safe supply of fuel until EV cars and the charging network are in place
Canada is already at net zero
Waist of time and money , just like everything the new dictator liberals party do
magical thinking is believing that reposting will help this headline
Climate change has taken a backseat to World War 3
Why do people keep calling this a plan? It’s not a plan - it’s a roadmap. Plans have clear schedules and milestones. What’s the target for end of 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025? What specifically will be done each year to get to that target? Does it show this anywhere in the ‘plan’?
