It is a Media FAIL - that the media has bought into the BIG LIE from Conservatives that LNG is the answer to lowering emissions It has been known for over a DECADE that LNG is WORSE than coal - but the media in Canada gas bought into the BIG LIE #CanadaMediaFail @Red_Toryism
@gtlem Canada is never going to receive an exemption on Article 6 of the Paris accord. That means we won't get credit for selling LNG overseas. The Paris accord said we have to tackle emissions at home. There can be no bystanders.
@gtlem But yes the media is selling us on lies. It's been known since the early 2010s that LNG is worse than coal. I don't know if they are trying to hoodwink us, but definitely they are not challenging this argument which has been stated by climate experts again and again.
@gtlem I actually think this should be the central argument of the Feds and even other opposition parties which are progressive. LNG at best is a this decade solution as a very short-term transition. Then, we have to speed towards hydrogen and alternative and cleaner fuels very fast.
@gtlem But Bill Maher talking about 14 cities in Western Canada should cause Western Premiers to actually tackle climate change. Most emissions come from traffic exhaust and the oilsands. Our emissions are going up because of those areas.
