That’s apparent, but used as a measuring stick, but I will gladly use a different measuring stick. Which one is acceptable?
Canada’s geographical location and size and climate have a huge relevance to its ability to functionally thrive vs it’s pollution and emissions portion of the global whole when it comes to cutting off our noses to spite our faces.
Canada’s population, then using that as a comparison on a Per Capita basis measurement against India (bet you thought I was gonna say China) has very little relevance to its pollution emissions total.
I’m interested in continuing to afford to get to & from work, so I can continue to afford to pay my ever increasing taxes, so I can continue to afford to take the balance to pay my ever increasing utility bills that are carbon taxed, so I can then take the balance off that to purchase luxuries like ever increasingly costly groceries, so I can repeat that month after month, so I can eventually afford to retire from this one day.
After that comes my concern about CO2 levels from the various nations and climate changiness and it’s both positive and negative effects depending on where you reside, etc…in that order.
Leonardo DiCaprio has addressed the UN about climate change more than all the unelected bums on all the corners regardless of the medical advice they offer.
I completely agree with you here!
Canada’s total annual emissions are less than China’s difference in increased annual emissions year to year, so does it? Really?
I’m not saying we ALL can’t do better, but we can do it in a way that isn’t creating hardship and poverty, using technology that actually exists or new technologies once they exist instead of unrealistic timelines based upon technologies that might or might not exist before the arbitrary deadline’s currently imposed.
We currently can replace coal fired electrically generated power with Natural Gas and Nuclear for baseload generation using Wind & Hydro (where applicable) to supplement it, and when Nuclear Fusion or Dilithium Crystals or whatever comes down the pipe actually exists we can plug them into the equation at that point.
I agree, but if Natural Gas is supplied in plenty (like the US HAS stepped up to do in the last less than a decade, while Canada just hasn’t due to political posturing) it would have a much larger immediate impact to the “China’s” globally than finger shaking and the other techniques currently being employed.
You & I can each cast one vote in our respective federal elections per election. Then we watch and see what influences that made while we wait for the next one.
While we wait, we ‘piss and moan’ as we watch the outcome deciding on the next potential influence (our next ballot cast when the opportunity arises next) we can make from our level to influence the direction of our respective nations.
