Heh - Canada's Green House Gas emissions

| No Comments

From the Toronto Sun:

Trudeau's mission impossible
When Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the premiers meet next month to develop a national strategy for fighting climate change an all-powerful force will defeat them. It’s called math.

That’s because the math applies no matter how many times Trudeau and the premiers tell us how great it is that they are all meeting and talking about climate change.

It’s also because you can’t change the math, no matter how many press releases you release, or speeches you give, or how many joint press conferences you hold.

Simply, put, when it comes to reducing industrial greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions linked to climate change, the numbers don’t lie. They can’t be fudged, or avoided. Here’s why.

Much more at the site but here are some of the inconvenient truths:

Reducing our emissions by 127 Mt would mean the equivalent of shutting down all of Canada’s electricity sector (85 Mt) plus half of the building sector (43 Mt), in less than five years.

Achieving the mid-level reduction of a 146 Mt reduction would mean shutting down the equivalent of Canada’s agriculture sector (75 Mt) and most of our emission-intensive and trade-exposed industries (76 Mt), in less than five years.

Achieving the high-level reduction scenario of 168 Mt would mean shutting down the equivalent of Canada’s entire transportation sector (170 Mt), in less than five years.

The idea any of this is going to happen is absurd.

Another example of Liberals pursuing the narrative instead of the data. Doesn't work.
