Who could've known that abolishing the carbon tax, supporting the auto industry, cancelling the electric vehicle mandate, and subsidizing the oil industry would not lead to success in meeting those targets? It's not as if we've all had thirty years to find out that getting to "net zero" is a difficult challenge that would require actual leadership in the right direction.

No one is serious about climate change anymore in politics.

Anti-woke politics in America have given complacent people carte blanche to ignore the problem at best, actively fight it at worst.

The new great dying has already begun, but we're just barely getting started.

As Bernard Drainville of Québec's CAQ once said, "lâchez-moi avec les GES". Meaning something like "won't you drop it with those greenhouse gases". His last title was the head of the Ministry of Environment and Fight Against Climate Change. And he proudly announced that the ban on internal combustion vehicles planned in 2035 was scrapped. He cried on TV when his party announced that maybe building a third bridge over the St-Lawrence for $10G to save a few minutes may not entirely be a good idea.

He's also the xenophobic idiot that introduced ""Québec's Charter of Values". It didn't work but he still continues to this day to push his xenophobic agenda under the guise of secularism.

He is a despicable human being, and until recently he was responsible for the Ministry of Environment in our province, until he resigned. And the shittiest part is, he resigned to run as the next leader of the CAQ and could be our next premier.

In any way, whatever the next party in power, Québec probably won't help. Nobody really wants to. Every election everyone just wants economic growth. Ask them what's the most important every election? They'll tell you the economy is the most important thing, obviously! And have you seen the price of gas?! It's robbery! Gas should be cheaper!11!! That's what's important!

So no, we won't meet any climate target.

Well, they threw their first set of hopeful numbers into the trash bin due to bad guessing and failure. Does anyone remember the Kyoto Protocol? It wasn't that long ago. We are not in any position to save anything until we stop praying to the god of monetary profit.

Too busy investigating seditious Flatlanders and building a defence plan, I guess.

oh well. Shrug.

Right now my primary concerns are not being at war and beong able to have a roof overhead and food for the family. Everything else will have to wait.

Turn your government over to the bankers and what do you expect?

Are any party running on taking away municipal zoning laws and forcing density and mass transit? Or what about ending imports from China and forcing reliability standards in the goods we buy?

If not I won't believe they are actually environmentalists, they are grifters and opportunists. They will gladly run mass immigration into massive urban sprawl, ballooning traffic and emissions, as they then tax fuel usage to raise home values near jobs.

No country is on track, especially not the biggest polluters like China and Russia.

Not so fun fact: If we stopped production of greenhouse gasses today (so we achieved net zero by 2026), we still have a climate problem.

People treat the rate of annual pollution as the target, and they pretend that hitting this target fixes something.

Only removing the carbon from the atmosphere will permit the Holocene to continue.

Shifting the conversation to far off climate targets or distant emissions standards is just a brainwash. We are doing something right now.

Canada is right now investing in global trade, high technology, fossil fuel production, manufacturing, expansion, growth economics, etc. The entire OLD Jenga tower civilization stack is being invested in and its getting higher.
