Per capita emissions is a meaningless number if you’re pointing fingers. One must look at the figures in absolute terms. Canadian greenhouse gas emissions are less than 2% of world total, yet Trudeau is on a fools errand to save the planet by burdening Canadians with a useless carbon tax. How about he tries to convince China to adopt a carbon tax if he wants to do something worthwhile?

Any climate change initiative for China and India would hurt their economies. They need power, and oil and gas are cheapest....

I don't know, but shooting a few oil corporate CEOs would make great publicity... oh maybe not, lets give them a public whipping like they do in Singapore.
That rebate is no more then legal theft. They tax you and a year later give the money back, holding your money for about a year or so (they make interest on it). Its an awesome scam by the government. Same thing goes for your tax rebate....
Actually the chip in the iphone is better made than the chips in the other phones. It uses lower power consumption, has longer battery life, their iphones get the best and latest chips while competitors get older chips.
Personal transportation is gonna suck because there is not enough electricity produced now to charge all the replacement for ICE cars/trucks. Think about the energy value of fuel used by ICE vehicles vs how much extra electricity we will need. The energy levels of ICE is way above projected electricity use for future electric cars. In simple terms they can't make the electricity to run the cars by 2035. Unless you go tits to the wall to make solar, wind and nuclear plants to make up for the fuel energy burned in todays cars/trucks.
Public transportation is in tatters. It fucken sucks the big one in Victoria, and Vancouver and any other city in BC. And AB and SASK and MB. So how do people get to work??
Sometime I think all these big contracts to multinationals is going to them because some dumb fuck in government has stock with them....Which is ethically wrong and against the rules even the Federal government is supposed to adhere to.... And I am probally not wrong.
Are there places to put bets on that? 55 minimum, there is too much infrastructure to deal with, and how thefuck are they gonna make that much electricity.
Restricting guns is to prevent rednecks from shooting the idiots in charge... hmm a purpose to the madness....
Most rednecks are too cowardly to shoot the idiots in charge. Instead they shoot up their families, their schools,............the soft targets.
That’s the politicians for you. Make grand proclamations with no idea on how to actually achieve what they mandate.
wind, solar, geo thermal, small modular nuclear... god forbid we turn out like, Denmark!
These 8 Countries Are Scaling Up Renewable Energy the Fastest
Canada currently has about half of the world average of renewable electricity generation. so, other countries are doing it. China is almost 2% higher than the global average. Canada is almost 2% below India!
Wind power is not exactly reliable nor is solar and of course only works in the daytime. No geothermal power currently generated in Canada, don’t think there are small modular nuclear reactors operating in Canada either.
Your electrical generating scenarios are as pie in the sky as the politicians fantasy of all electric new car sales in their unrealistic future date.
that's my point, unless you get China/India to reduce, which they can't, which they've stated they won't, over and over, cause they haven't even come close to giving half their populations
the same luxuries, heat/electricity/cars/air travel/economics to have good paying jobs, like the west
if they ever do, it would become pointless for Canada to bother doing anything
it would be like spitting on the Jasper fire and expecting it to go out
China isn't going to listen to anyone, unless you force them to, by making it in their interest
stopping dealing with them, Europe/U.S. then they might start to listen, cause the 3rd world doesn't have enough money to sustain their needs
first off you can't have wind/solar/geo thermal everywhere
or don't you believe in "science"?
the wind doesn't blow well enough everywhere, places don't get enough sun, geo thermal isn't good enough just cause you dig a hole in the ground, specially for electricity generation, let alone heating, which you still need electricity for
and until the tech is here for storing electricity in scale, it's just fantasy
facts, who the fuck needs em!!!
nuclear, yeah, uranium for all!!!! sure, no issues there, mining, disposal, water, ect.....
Denmark is the size of a small province/state
using them as an example is asinine
there are cities in the U.S with more people
they are a rounding error like Canada in the amount of emissions they produce, even being a cold weather country
none of the countries your link mentions are worth talking about
they again are rounding errors
China/India/U.S./Russia/Japan, top 5
the first 2 are the problem, just cause of sheer size, along with Russia, they don't care either, Putin doesn't give a shit at all
China and India are 40% alone of total emissions in the world
add the states, you're up to at least 5-55%
top 3 populated countries, the above, China/India/U.S., coincidence? hardly
go look at the others with large populations after them, mostly all 3rd world, developing, without economies of any size
Japan, population is dropping, idiots telling them they need to do the same fucking moronic thing the west is doing
importing more emission spewing Humans, which is moronic if you think you're a "environmentalist"
Climate warrior, the first thing you should be against is Immigration policies
oil demand isn't dropping, it's just not growing as fast as it use to
everyone on this board will be dead before it's dead
the tech isn't there for a country like Canada to produce enough green energy for even 30 million let alone 100
that the simpletons on the left want to bring in, cause we couldn't fuck like rabbits fast enough to get there in a 100 yrs
you clearly didn't look at the cited material... there are graphs of the G20. its already happening. you can yell that its not possible all you like while India/China/USA are actually doing it. and our renewable power generation is behind.
and since we're behind, we will be behind in developing new tech and infrastructure for ourselves. and when oil prices tank even more then they already are... our economy will go into the tank with it.
feel free to present alternative solutions. you don't have any. or at least, not any that the CPC are proposing... because they don't have any either. its the no solution party.
the USA's emission drops are the same as what is happening in the rest of the 1st world
the stoppage of coal for electricity
switching to NG
go look at the recent "graphs" that were put out for Canada, virtually all the "drops" in emissions, came from not using coal anymore
everything else is a rounding error or has increased
the other argument is a tax, that has been in place for what 10-15 yrs in BC, 2 LNG plants, it's blown out of the water, not that it was working in the first place
only a complete simpleton thinks someone is going to change their behaviour when you give them back the same amount or even more money
specially when that amount wouldn't buy you anything to speak of, $1000 how many solar panels? electric cars? heat pumps? it's called math, cost benefit, there is no math to switch
you don't go out and spend thousands, hundreds of thousands to save a few hundred a year
unless you are an idiot or already got the means
take away the subsidies, sales drop, like in cars, solar panels, heat pumps, insulation, renos do everytime it happens
you can't increase the population by over a MILLION people and expect your emissions to go down
if Canada didn't have the Turd and his moronic policies, emissions would have been down slightly, import 6 million people, no chance
these idiots want to increase it by another 120%
that's your solution party
go look at the amount of electricity you would need to get everyone a heat pump, not that they work everywhere in every part of the country, an electric car, again, don't work everywhere
then the delusions that you can do it with planes, trains, boats, big trucks, farm machinery, machinery in general, ect.....
Site C dam, 15yrs to build, how many more, 5-10? how many more river do you think they can dam?
like there's no damage from them?
unless you're going to bankrupt everyone, keep the 3rd world in energy poverty forever
the delusions of unicorn farts powering the world is the only other "solution"
go look at the current companies dumping their plans for electric cars, battery plants, wind, solar
without huge subsidies, which people like you say is bad for oil, hypocrites, cause if it's bad for that, it should be bad for green
go look at the slush fund shit with the Liberals now, you might as well have burned the money, it would have done more
it's math, basic math
you can't mine enough minerals, put up enough windmills, solar panels, to supply the amount of energy to supply what delusions you have
it's called physics
FOR 8, SOON TO BE 10 BILLION PEOPLE ALL TO LIVE LIKE FAT AMERICANS
YOUR DELUSIONS ARE ALL ABOUT THE WEST, 1ST WORLD, WHERE THEY CAN'T EVEN MAKE IT WORK, WITH WELL OVER 50% OF THE WORLD'S WEALTH
MATH, MATH IS HARD, OLD JIM GOT IT RIGHT BEFORE HIS PLANE CRASHED

Why do Cons always use grade 3 insults?
You can discuss without them.
Sigh.

Simple or simplified solutions lead down a very dangerous path and invite people to be blindly obedient.
