Green Party Leader Elizabeth May said the Carney government is not serious about climate change. May, who supported Carney’s budget in December, has since questioned the prime minister’s word after accusing him of a climate policy flip-flop.
“If we’re serious about emissions reduction, then we have to actually revisit some of the measures that have been eliminated since (Carney) took over,” May told The Canadian Press.
“They’re miles from hitting any of the Paris Agreement targets, and the prime minister did recommit to me on the floor of the House on Nov. 17 that this government is committed to the Paris Agreement and achieving its targets. So the emissions reduction update, the so-called climate competitiveness strategy — there’s lots of highfalutin titles for what boils down to…(no) climate plan.”"
The problem is the massive opposition to all this by oil and automakers, and as time passed the Libertarians and worldwide conservatives all joined forced against the ‘bleeding heart liberal/Politically Correct/Woke’ forces to basically make it a point of their identity that they are as opposed to the environment and anything to help humanity. It is how we get people like RFK Jr. who makes a point of patronizing a burger joint that fries their stuff in beef tallow and uses disposable plastic straws (those straws have their uses for some people, but most people don’t really need them. I almost never use straws myself).
