Canada shocks COP21 with big new climate goal

[mentalfloss]

It means you're too afraid.

 

[petros]

Of what?

 

[taxslave]

What does that mean?

Means fossy can't get a real job so he has wet dreams about destroying other people's careers.

 

[petros]

Careers will be fine.

 

[taxslave]

First, the Fraser Institute is a hot mess of stupid.

Second, stop peddling fossil fuels.

You're just making the hurt longer.

Why would we want to stop supplying a market?

 

[petros]

Every gWh of wind or solar energy requires a gWh of fossil fuels to back it up.

 

[darkbeaver]

Is there no end to the damage that idiot is willing to inflict on the Canadian economy?

No there isn't. He's a citizen of the bigger picture. Someday you'll be required to have a statue of the brain washed delivery boy on your lawn.

 

[mentalfloss]

Why would we want to stop supplying a market?

Because we know it will inevitably be unprofitable.

No one is saying drop it entirely but you need to do it sustainably.

The reason Alberta is screwed is because they followed Ralph Klein into an unsustainable corner.

Modern humans on earth, is unsustainable. And You just want to cherry pick fossil fuels???

I don't think you get it. Production hasn't stopped or slowed and is still being upped. Thanks to carbon taxes funding research for more oil more cheaply it's going to grow faster.

this toque-tard doesn't get it at all.

he and his troll idlers simply regurgitate popular hive talking points with snappy flourishes and trendy reddit speak.

Stupidity....It's trending.

Canada shocks COP21 with big new climate goal

Sunday night, Canada surprised a world of nations and negotiators in closed-door climate talks in Paris by endorsing a bolder, more ambitious target for cutting greenhouse gases than the UN climate change summit is officially aiming for.

Canada’s Environment and Climate Change Minister Catherine McKenna told a stunned crowd that she wants the Paris agreement to restrict planetary warming to just 1.5 Celsius warming —not two degrees. It was the first time she has made such a statement.

In the room was former CBC meteorologist Claire Martin, a Green Party observer at the talks. “I was freaking out,” she said. "I was writing it all down like a nut."

Reading from her notes, Martin reported the minister’s remarks like so: "'We want to send a strong political signal.’ The necessity, that she sees, is one in which we transition sustainably.”

“But she was quite clear —‘I support the goals of 1.5’— and echoed the comments of another party about human rights and indigenous peoples. Canada supports legally binding provisions, and we are committed to following through.”

"She wants a five-year review, and it must be 'ambitious' and 'accountable.'"

"Adaptation is 'incredibly important' and she has full support for the ambitious nature of this agreement," Martin added, about the minister's remarks.

McKenna's office confirms it

Minister McKenna's spokesperson confirmed Monday that she supports "including reference in the Paris Agreement to the recognition of the ‎need to striving to limit global warming to 1.5, as other parties have said."

"Canada wants an agreement that is ambitious and that is signed by the greatest number of countries possible."

And crucially, “the most important thing is that each country should be legally required to submit a target. And to report on progress on that target on a regular basis."

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahaha How quaint it is that the CC Minister and the Gliberals think the world has a thermostat that humans can just set to a specific temperature and things will be lovely and peachy fine. I wonder if they think it is a digital thermostat or an analog one.
Dipsticks.
The planet will do just what it does regardless of what humans plan. Even if we totally eliminate our impact on the planet tomorrow, the planet will not cool next week nor next year. It will take decades for the oceans to start cooling.
Trust politicians to spew ridiculous nonsense without an inkling of what they are saying or the topic.

It's all about the dollah bill ya'll.

If sunspots keep fading it will be cooling rather than continue warming to almost average. Then what, add CO2 or methane in a panic?

Exacly ......Politicians...Whoppee do, a new tax opportunity, and the lemmings will accept it and push for more.....Liberals now have the password to your bank account and Flossy actually begged them to take it....Gawd...... He can be such a dunce!!!

So the fact that I haven't seen a clear blue sky in about a week and I feel like I'm living in a car garage has nothing to do with human activity?

Here I am presently lying in bed at 6.45 am and can feel it in my throat.

 

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

It's too bad we don't know what is causing the climate to change. Such goals in terms of temperature are meaningless without that little piece of knowledge.

The pollution.... absolutely! That is indeed human activity.

But on the other hand... you are in China and China leads the world in green technology so maybe you are just a Denier.

What would the green movement do without copper? How would one mine copper without oil or get it to market? Just a couple simple questions you cannot answer as usual. I have hundreds more but no use asking you flossy.
