@CTHW@mstdn.ca @miki_lou@mastodon.social yes, but he announced on June 30 that we aren't even going to try and meet our climate targets for "short term gains", y'know the environment. Other countries around the world are trying though, and achieving them.

@reallyflygreg@mstdn.ca @miki_lou@mastodon.social I know environmentalists are concerned about this government's back track on co2 emissions goals. But, l think it import to focus efforts where they make a difference. Since I was in school, global concentrations of CO2 have increased ~110 ppm. Canadas portion of that amount is about 2 ppm. 2. That's all of Canada. Oil Sands, transport, manufacturing, etc … Enabling other jurisdictions to move from coal, for example to LNG decreases the global emissions far more than allowing a performative goal to dictate our policies. Up until now federal governments have pretended to try for the goal. Reality is more important.
