>Quebec is postponing its 2030 emission-cuts deadline by five years, citing threats to jobs and the economy.
>The time to reach the goal has been extended to buffer the province in a time of uncertainty, the government said when it made the announcement on Thursday. It’s a “pragmatic approach” that does not sacrifice Quebec’s commitment to fighting climate change, Environment Minister Bernard Drainville said.
>The announcement comes amid growing evidence that Canadian federal and provincial governments are unlikely to meet emissions targets. Data published last month by Environment and Climate Change Canada projected the country will fall far short of its goal to slash emissions by 40 to 45 per cent below 2005 levels by the end of the decade.
>However, the federal government has not officially backed away from its 2030 goal, with Environment Minister Julie Dabrusin last month insisting Ottawa is still committed to the target.
>Meanwhile, Ontario’s Auditor-General in October reported that the province would miss its 2030 emissions target by a wide margin.
>The B.C. government has also admitted it will likely miss its target.
It’ll be funny when the world starts becoming uninhabitale wastelands in most areas eventually and all those people dying of hunger or war raise their arms up in the air trying to say with their last breath „But… The economy is doing well…“
It’s just crazy to me that we, as a species, could have solved climate change yesterday, easily, but chose not to.
Quebec is by far the least polluting province
Getting rid of RTO mandates would do a lot for improving emissions.
Perhaps instead of carbon tax we should have a corporate butts in hotelling cubicle tax.
It’s a government in its last months. I think this is a non-news
Cool! Now if they could get rid of our provincial carbon tax, it would be nice.
OH OH, So when BC/AB And western provinces put off their targets for their economy. They’re somehow EVIL POLLUTERS and need to worry about the world.
But it’s CRICKETS, now that Quebec comes out and says the same damn thing.
Hypocrites in Quebec. The west needs to sacrifice their economies for the environment, but as soon as Quebec needs to sacrifice their economy for it. Suddenly its crickets.
Unbelievable. Wheres Steven Guilbeant? Where’s his grand standing about Quebec now?
