Paris Deal Collapse

He sure did.
Canada didn't walk away though. Instead Canada is simply not going to follow through with its commitments to Paris in the same way they ignored Kyoto.

Well, there are no penalties for not reaching the stated goals.
hehehehehe.... These toothless agreements are laughable from the start, but the real fun starts when the excuses by the member nations start to flow forth with a vengence

Absolutely none. Which is why all you really have to do is say the climate is changing and it's all mans fault and you're doing your part to save the climate!
Well they're already coming after Canada. I guess Trudeau is the low hanging fruit eh?

Say, maybe Climate barbie can do a little dance and ply the crowd with a big nervous smile... That ought to work in JT's favor
Canada can talk the talk but hardly ever walks the walk.
Like we never accepted the "Environmental Hazard" symbol for the new global WHIMIS. Thats a big "WTF" in my opinion.
Uh, what? They voted for it twice and got neither. Kind'a hard to reject something that really isn't being offered.
Looks like Tesla poached ATS. A Canadian company that revolutionized solar generation for the home owner. The solar panel he's unveiling in the picture looks suspiciously like the prototype I saw at ATS over a decade ago.
Um, newsflash. Hillary lost the last election. Unless you think the roughly $140 million she received from the Russian state while she was Sec of State was merely a gift for being just a really swell person. I mean, handing Russia ownership of 5 US based uranium mines hardly seems like a deal you'd make with your so-called enemy.
Add to that her rather odd election campaign where it's like she didn't even try. She was acting like the Presidency was already hers.
Lenny DeCrappio is certainly one of those douchebags. Last year alone he burned about as much fuel in his private jet that the average commuter would burn over a 300 year period.
That's not entirely true. Trudope is still going to "give" us carbon taxes/carbon pricing sans the economic investment. Carbon taxes and pricing sure seem to be things the environuts like to fap themselves over. They're the panacea cure for climate change don'cha know.
Oh you'll still get taxed but....
Paris agreement targets leave 'alarming gap' to slow climate change: UN report - Politics - CBC News
Canada has no immediate plans to raise its targets for cutting emissions, despite pressure from the United Nations to step it up or risk the failure of the Paris climate change agreement.
Canada is one of the biggest laggards, with the UN saying that not only are Canada's existing targets too low, it does not yet have the policies in place to even meet them.

And yet, over more than a decade, Canada's emissions have not increased by much either. We've been hanging around that 1.6% of total global emissions for years and years now. While ours has maintained, other first world countries have actually managed to increase their percentage of emissions over the same period.
Considering Canada's vast size and low population for its size, it's highly unlikely we'll ever meet any targets. If we took the entire population of Canada and settled in a land area the size of Germany for example, our percentage of total global emissions would drop almost immediately because there wouldn't be the vast distances we have in Canada that goods need to traverse to reach the consumer.
We'd also be able to rely more on electric trains or other forms of HSR for intercity travel.
Attempting to drastically lower Canada's emissions without putting us back to the 19th century is about as futile as attempting to bail out a sinking boat with a teaspoon.
I can agree with that and the Trudeau government is apparently in agreement. They did not have any intention of honoring their commitments to the Paris Deal.
Targets in Paris climate agreement only one-third of what’s needed to reach goal: UN report
UN Environment’s eighth annual emissions gap report says Canada is among the countries that needs to step it up.

But... but I thought it was a historic agreement?
