very frustrating to see even the USA beating us!
Wow, how depressing, not a single country is green 💀
And we’re potentially already past the 1.5°C threshold.
Relevant username.
Canada is the second largest country. I say we make it THE largest country. Let’s split Russia into many more country. Let’s do it. Let’s ets go.
We can fix this by passing proportional representation, voting out conservatives politicians, increasing the carbon tax to $300 per ton, ending the $18.6 billion oil industry and $2 billion animal agriculture receive in subsidies from the federal government, regulating industry further.
And build high speed electrified transit to reduce transportation emissions
We need Via Rail to electrify as well.
I would love to see PR implemented, but it’s not a panacea. It might reduce the conservatives representation in parliament but the Liberals would still be a strong party under PR. The Liberals set most of the existing climate targets and policy, and they are insufficient because the Liberals are a neoliberal party. They are fundamentally opposed to short term economic loss as a political ideology. They won’t invest in the sort of measures needed to mitigate climate change.
Anecdotally, most people I know are ABC voters who’d love to vote NDP if that didn’t mean a CPC MP in their riding.
No offense, but that’s because you live in a bubble. The majority of Canadians generally land on the neoliberal part of the political compass right now. That’s not to say they can’t be convinced to vote differently, but there’s a reason why the red team and the blue team have been dominant for such a long time.
FWIW, I live in a bubble too. Lots of the people I interact with are orange liberals or red NDPers. However I would say even more are people who fundamentally agree with the NDP more than any other party, but have been brainwashed into thinking the Liberals represent their views better than any other party.
Shitty website, completely ignores the effect of population and land mass.
If all countries were to follow Canada’s approach, warming could reach over 3°C and up to 4°C.
If all countries were following Canada’s approach of having roughly 40M people spread across roughly 9.98M km² and emitted the same per capita that we do, we’d reduce global emissions by 77% (same population density of Canada emitting same per capita tons as Canadians).
It’s pretty convenient that people like to ignore this though.
And instead, here is Canada importing people largely from lower emitting per-capits emitting countries so those people can emit more here.
Careful. Your voting history is showing.
There’s also a 50-50 chance your postal code starts with a T.
Scapegoating Alberta isn’t going to slow the spread of fascism. You’re just sticking your head in the sand.
