US, China to publish fossil fuel subsidy peer reviews

[mentalfloss]

If we wait for China it will never happen.

The truth is that all G7 members need to get on board for China to really make a move.

Oilsands subsidies come from: the Canadian Development Expense ($478 million), Canadian Exploration Expense ($233 million), Accelerated Capital Cost Allowance ($300 million), Investment Tax Credit ($100 million), and Liquefied Natural Gas capital cost allowance ($50 million).

All tax credits applied after completing a well and only if it produces.

We (Canada) aren't a problem.

 

[mentalfloss]

Of course we are.

The per capita value is the important number, not total emissions.

 

[petros]

Well then let's all winter in Texas. Problem solved.

 

[mentalfloss]

Or just do the sane thing and reduce emissions.

 

[petros]

Stop heating our homes?

 

[mentalfloss]

Just yours.

None of those are subsidies. please play again.

Of course we are.

No, it is total emissions that count. Percapita is irrelevant. Especially in a thinly populated industrial country like Canada. Compare total emissions between Canada and CHina. Then check how much land mass is carbon sinks.

Stop heating our homes?

I heat entirely with wood. Zero pollution and renewable.

 

[mentalfloss]

Yes, those are all subsidies.

Check the link with subsidy types.

They satisfy the definition because they incentivize.

2025 is reasonable.

Gives us time to ease into the transition.

But the planet is dying! The sea is rising and will flood ALL of our coastal cities!

:lol: Well the least I can do is thank you for the good laugh. I'd rate you most entertaining post of the day if it was available. Keep that dumb **** coming.

But the planet is dying! The sea is rising and will flood ALL of our coastal cities!

I fear 10000000000 man made things, Pollution being one of the very least of my most feared human made things.

There are about 10000000 things that have more chances of destroying this planet with higher odds, then CO2

Maybe we should stop those billions of radiation particle washing into the pacific. Surly that's damaged nature far more in just a few years then all the CO2 we will ever burn throughout all of human history, pass and future.

:roll:

I fear Nuclear weapons 100 times more then I will ever fear CO2.

Radioactive waste, and nuclear weapons who both have so little relative positive effects on our world and capacity to accomplish things, are by far my two most feared things. The economical benefits of oil have been so great, compared to everything else that has ever happened on earth, that the little to next to no harm they have cause is insignificant compared to the relative huge positives.

Something a small brained individual has not the capacity to understand.

Yes I'm taking about you mentalfart :lol:

CO2 is a small price to pay for all the benefits this world has enjoyed from oil. And that's why we laugh at your stupidity.
