Canada Failing to Put Climate Change Plans in Action

Obviously by being so selfish as to dump huge, massive amounts of deadly GHGs into our delicate atmosphere via the propellant.
I guess that it was more important for her to hit space than it was to care about the little puppies and kittens that are doomed to a horrible fate down on the planet's surface
She should be ashamed
I haven't really "followed" her at all, Mowich, and am unaware of any mistakes. Maybe someone can bring me up to date.
I think I'm going to throw a bit of gasoline on the fire tonight, in honor of our GG.
I know that the GG has had an enormous impact on my life because she has a thread here devoted to her.
SO she is used to living off the taxpayer and being sheltered from the real world.
Much like you.

Then you haven't been paying attention.....JLM.
She flew there, Eagle.

Why Governor Jerry Brown Was Booed at the Bonn Climate Summit

Five hundred N.G.O.s—including 350.org, which I helped found—have signed that declaration, but not many political leaders. In fact, heads of governments tend to fall into one of two camps. The first, populated largely by Trump and his followers, sees climate change as nonsense and aims to increase both supply and demand. The other, which includes everyone from Barack Obama to Canada’s Justin Trudeau to Brown, offers inspiring rhetoric on fighting global warming but refuses to rein in fossil-fuel exploration and development. Trudeau, for instance, said at an oil-and-gas conference in Texas this year that “no country would find a hundred and seventy-three billion barrels of oil in the ground and leave them there,” a reference to Alberta’s tar sands.
*snicker*
Talking the talk.

On human rights and climate change, Justin Trudeau’s actions don’t match his talk

Damn!
The former Conservative government of Stephen Harper came up with a plan to phase out most coal-fired generation. The Trudeau government accelerated it. Ontario has closed its coal-fired plants and Alberta has promised to do the same.
But Canada is not phasing out coal.
First, the federal government plans to exempt coal-fired generating plants that are able to reduce their emissions significantly through new technologies, such as carbon capture and storage. This is perilously close to the notion of clean coal that Trump is mocked for discussing.
Second, Canada continues to mine and export coal for other countries to burn. In 2015, it exported more than 30 million tonnes, mainly to Asian steelmaking plants.
