- Discover Canada's GHG emissions. How does Canada compare with other countries around the world and which sectors are the most polluting within Canada. Finally is Canada meeting its climate goals set during the Paris climate conference.
Excellent analysis!
Taxes are never the answer to change an economy it just suppresses the economy and limits our options. Canada needs to have a long term plan that understands climate change in a global context.
1. Canada, like Russia is a large NORTHERN country, we will always consume more per capita in energy than other countries for the necessities of life. Staying warm and shipping.
2. The world will take several decades to transition off coal, oil, and gas. During the transition, Canada needs to sell as much of these resources as we can to our allies and use the revenue generated from these sales to make Canada a world leader in non-carbon energy without bankrupting the country. Fossil fuels sales to countries that are buying them on the world market would be used to fund research, infrastructure, and subsidies for new manufacturing to support Canada's transition off carbon.
3. Cooperate with our allies economically and militarily to isolate China (the largest carbon emitter in the world) until they get with the program
DO NOT BANKRUPT CANADA so that China has license to destroy the world
Looking into this I find that if I had three cars, they would assume that I am driving all three at the same time and have triple the emissions of a person with a single car. They also assume how far I drive, how much I spend on wants and needs and if I make more, they assumed I spent more. After finding a specific calculator, I find that I am emitting 50% of what it was assumed that I emitted. Almost all of the suggestions to reduce emissions, I have already done. I can assume that people in colder regions will contribute more to GHG because nobody wants to die.
In comparison there are countries that have high populations, almost no technology, no ability to heat or cool or cook with much other than an open window or fire. They have low GHG per capita. Another thing is GHG is only ONE measurement for pollution because a lot of the high population/low tech countires pollute in other ways and contaminate the soil and air. On top of that, you have no way to measure a country wth billions of people that you will never find.
We're experts at Greenwashing lol
Because at night the temperature goes down to -45+ in winter that lasts for months
Thank you for mentioning zoning and non-car transport options. Too often people assume that density is somehow worse for the environment which boggles my mind.
I really like your work you should make more frequently
To be fair, what could one reasonably do about the Oil Sands? Like, how are you supposed to reduce emissions from a carbon-extracting industry? Plus, petroleum products being Canada's biggest export and one of the largest revenue generators, what is Canada supposed to replace those with?
Ye, reducing GHG emissions is easier said than done.
Canada's size and its high percentage of wilderness lead people to think that, since there is so much natural beauty, that Canadians must be environmentally conscious. They are so in a handful of special contexts. But the country still possesses the mentality that destroyed the buffalo herds and demolished old-growth forests. Whenever there is any significant economic interest in the balance, Canadians choose to thumb their noses at the environment, and prefer to rob the future to please the present.
Is it true the french think clean air is clean hair ?
Forgive me, I disagree with your statement that Canada sucks! We are a northern country with one of the coldest climates on earth. How do you expect to warm the country during sub freezing temperatures. Also batteries don’t work very well in the winters, you wouldn’t like to drive a Tesla in Winnipeg Dec to March. Same with most other provinces. So we are expected to use gas more often, and it is justified in our case. The government disagrees, well sad, people have to lead close to normal life under the circumstances.
Well for starters you could just build functional transit and use Heat pumps. You know what would work great to make power and heat if it's to cold for a battery? Nuclear reactors... Exist?
Thats the worst piece of dictation I ever heard . Obviously this bird is a Liberal
