We are doomed. The “climate crisis” continues.
Just because the last 10 deadlines came and went doesn’t mean this one will.

Isn’t Canada already net zero? For the size of the country the total population and amount of woodlands etc… I have a hard time grasping how it’s Canada fault and why they would name drop you is beyond me. Perhaps go after other nations like India China russia etc… ones that don’t have much in the way of environmental regulations that are growing rapidly in the industrial sector rather than trying to make other countries do triple duty to cover them. Especially since we all know certain countries aren’t voluntarily going to step up unless someone holds them accountable.

Carbon Offset is a scam... It's all a scam.

I second this. Ice ages come in waves, we're simply getting near the top of one of the waves.

Don't quote me here but I think Canada ranks about 10th for total GHG emissions. and we are the highest for per capita of these top 10 nations.

I thought we were all supposed to be under water by 2015 or something close to that ? Hard to hit a moving target .
Trudeau probably asked his friends at the UN to make this announcement in order to help him change the channel from that pesky Chinese election interference thing.

On the other hand, given our huge amount of forests and plants, our plant growth, may absorb more CO2 than we emit. Of course some sources dispute this, because it doesn't support their green agenda.
Just wait until 2035, the deadline for banning the sale of non electric vehicles, when we won't be able to provide enough electricity to charge all of those electric vehicles, that should be interesting.

Do you suppose those same forests and riparian areas captured the same or similar amount of carbon a hundred years ago, while our emissions have increased a few thousand percent in that same time?

The point being, that Canada captures more than we emit, if every other country did the same, there wouldn't be an issue. We aren't the problem, and we can't solve it.

Any information I have ever been able to find, states Canada contributes 1.4 to 1.6 % of total greenhouse emissions (not sure how that works out in terms of per capita). We could shut down the entire country and in very short order other countries would fill what we saved and continue to expand. The US, China and India contribute 60% of global emissions. Until they are fully on board (at least two of them are not), anything we do is nothing more than very expensive virtue signaling! April first will be another 14 cents per liter at the pumps. Just wait till that filters through to prices in the grocery, clothing and building material stores!

At the rate we are warming up here in Canada all is lost. At least that is what they want us to believe.
""Canada is warming on average at a rate twice as fast as the rest of the world, a new scientific report indicates.
The federal government climate report also warns that changes are already evident in many parts of the country and are projected to intensify.""
""Canada is warming twice as fast as the world as a whole, and even more than three times as fast as the Arctic territory in the north. In just a few seasons, extreme weather events have shown the country's vulnerability.Nov 14, 2022""

Yes, we live in a large cold country, we have to heat our homes and drive further generally. Per capita emissions are meaningless. Canada captures far mor CO2, then it emits. As well CO2 isn't polution, it is plant food and necessary for life on earth. Climate change is a big tax scam.

Another thing I find interesting about all this climate change BS, is that Banks are still financing and mortgaging oceanfront development along the coasts of Florida and other states bordering coastal waters. I'm pretty sure that if the banks thought climate change was a thing, they wouldn't be putting up the cash for these projects.
For the past 80 years there has been one type or another energy crisis, or environmental crisis. None of these crisis every materialized. But taxes in one for or another have went up to deal with these so called crisis'.

I'm pretty sure we all learned about that in grade 3 science class.

All of the excited folks who run in circles yelling that "WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE" are of course, correct.
Unfortunately like the predictors of the end of the world etc. they seem to have a little problem with getting the timing correct.
It's a great gig...
You just have to say, "oh we had to adjust the model because of blah, blah, blah" and the next day you're back in business.

Send money now.
We stand united against the evil of climate change. In 2020 no 2025 no 2030 no 2035. Climate change will kill everything on the planet. Go tell the communists.

What I really want to know is why has there been snow on the ground here for 5 months now? It's getting as tiring as hearing the catch phrase "climate crisis"
Good god people can be dumb

But on another note, one really troubling thing is the lack of knowledge of how electricity is generated, how an electric car works, how the hot water in your shower is delivered to the shower head, why we have pipelines, and so on.
Canadians and probably the rest of the western world have voters out there who have no knowledge or understanding of basic science/engineering/practical knowledge. But they all have a vote on decisions they're not qualified to make!
