Danielle Smith ignores the global shift to renewable energy at her own peril. Alberta’s premier labelled the federal government’s move to decrease oil and gas emissions as a plot to destroy the province’s economy. Opinion by GillianSteward

So far this summer it’s more than apparent that global warming is hitting home like never before: raging forest fires across the country; floods in Quebec and B.C., a monster tornado tearing through central Alberta on Canada Day.

She had already labelled any move by the federal government to substantially decrease those emissions as an attack on the province’s oil and gas industry, a plot to destroy the province’s economy, a move that would leave thousands out of work. That’s the conclusion of a recent report by the International Institute of Sustainable Development a think tank funded by various government agencies, charities and industry groups in Europe, North America and Asia, including the Canadian and Alberta governments.
