"If greenhouse gases are a problem, they’re a global problem. Canada can do nothing by itself to solve it. If the Canadian economy were to disappear tomorrow, the increase in emissions from China, which is building two new coal-fired power plants per week, would more than makeup for the elimination of Canadian emissions within months." thehub.ca/2024-03-26/ste…

@DanAlbas “Canada can do nothing by itself to solve it” Wow! Would you have said the same thing about WW1 & WW2?? 😳 #NeverVoteConservative
@DanAlbas That’s a pretty poor schoolyard excuse to not do what you were elected to do. Canada is lagging on the environment and you are becoming the reason. Please get off of twitter and do your job or resign if you aren’t up to the job. You are embarrassing yourself.
@DanAlbas So, you and your party think that Canada is a minor economy with no leadership role in the global economy, that we don’t belong in the G7, at the table with the grownups. Good to know.
@DanAlbas If Alberta achieved independence we would be the highest per capita GHG polluters on the entire planet. If we can’t do anything, who can? The Chinese with 1/8th the per capita emissions as us? Your position is nonsensical and immoral.
‘China will have built around 1,300 gigawatts (GW) of wind and solar capacity by the end of 2024, the CEC expects, meaning it will have already exceeded its official target of 1,200 GW by 2030’. 50% of China’s electricity will be from renewables in 2024. In Canada, electricity from renewable sources represent 68% of its total electricity generation. However, hydroelectric power is the primary source, accounting for 60%.
@DanAlbas We bark at China + India and thank our Boreal Forest.
@DanAlbas For every year of carbon emission out of China (11.4B metric tons), Canada (548M metric tons) has to put out our current emission for 20.8 years. Essentially they put out in a couple weeks near what we emit in a year.
