This is why i am grateful our ass-hat of a prime minsiter has carbon taxes and overcommits us to "green" programs..
because if every one of the 32 million canadians reaced zero emissions, woudl the world even notice?
Look, i am all for "green" programs, but over-taxing us isnt the answer, our contribution is minimal.. we would be far better off helping others get off coal.
- codefined 5y agoCanada is the eighth highest emissions producing country per capita. You're only just better than the USA in seventh place. You're nowhere near 'good'.
- gedy 5y agoPer capita really doesn't matter to the Earth, just politics
- amanaplanacanal 5y agoPer capita matters as a matter of fairness. Telling large poor countries they have too suck it up so smaller rich countries don’t have to solve the problem isn’t going to work.
- gedy 5y agoThat's fine and agreed, but my point still stands that per capita based on some arbitrary borders is not a meaningful measure to the entire Earth's climate.
- pksebben 5y agoper capita is precisely the opposite of arbitrary; it's carbon per person.
- josephcsible 5y agoIt is arbitrary. Most carbon emissions are from industry, and the population size isn't directly linked to industry.
- josephcsible 5y agoChina is not "poor" by any stretch of the imagination.
- spfzero 5y agoI would say that’s pretty good given Canada’s standard of living.
- winrid 5y agoIs this from industry?
