Scheer says his climate plan will meet Paris targets without a carbon tax

[petros]

OTTAWA -- Despite not yet having the details, Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer says he will be unveiling a climate plan ahead of the 2019 election that will meet the Paris targets without a carbon tax.

Both inside the House of Commons and out of it, the Conservatives under Scheer have stated their strong opposition to the Liberal government’s plan to impose a federal price on carbon -- up to $50 per excess tonne by 2022 -- in provinces who don’t implement their own. The Opposition says the government’s plan will hurt the economy.

Instead, Scheer says his party will find another -- yet to be declared -- way to combat climate change.

"We will be unveiling a very detailed and comprehensive plan because we believe that Canada has to be part of the solution. We are about a year away from the next election, a little bit more. I guarantee you we will have a comprehensive message to Canadians," Scheer said in an interview with Evan Solomon, host of CTV’s Question period.

Asked whether the plan will meet the UN targets for combatting climate change, otherwise known as the Paris accord or Paris agreement, Scheer said "of course."

EXACTLY!

That's all a country needs to do!

I thought the Paris thing was over.

Waltersmack make a thread about that and keep it going for two years?

Remember?

 

[mentalfloss]

So, in other words, a carbon price just not a carbon tax.

Something that Ontario, Quebec and Manitoba (a Conservative lead province I should add) are already doing.

They'll eventually get over it.

In the meantime, they can continue to enjoy the salt on their crow.

No offense, and I'm voting Conservative, but what absolute bullshit.

The Liberals are not even going to come close, and anyone with a functioning intellect knows it.

I wish Scheer wouldn't BS us.

He's a truther to the core and will be despite all the proof to the contrary

Poor conbots.

When are they going to get a CO2 tax? Carbon is harmless.

But you've already said you'll vote for him despite him being a liar, so why should he change?

Maybe Scheer sees Canadian cereal and oil seed crops, forests, grasslands and tundra as carbon sink worthy of putting a dollar figure on.

The Canadian "environment" puts us deep into the negative far beyond our consumption.

It is after all Crown land and Canada is listed as a Corporation according to Security Exchange Commission with US headquarters on Pennsylvania Ave Washington DC.

So no, I don't think he's nuts.

I can measure what I sequester through my crops as carbohydrates and fatty acids in tonnes.

It can't be that hard to calculate what a hectare of forest, grasslands or tundra absorbs and locks out of the loop.

We can be paid quite well to have the goods we consume made offshore and pollution it creates is their problem.
