  > The Liberal party uses Climate Change basically as anti-western-Canada/anti-conservative-party tool. It isn't used by the liberal party as an anti western tool. It's an actual threat that is creating serious problems across Canada today. Here in Alberta today, we are facing an unprecedented drought in 2024 as a product of record low snowpack that itself is a product of 2023 being the hottest year in recorded history. Pine beetle infestations are destroying forests across the BC / Alberta border because in the last decade our winters have simply no longer been cold enough to kill them off. The revenue neutral carbon tax is the most effective market oriented policy for decarbonizing economic growth, as demonstrated by economic study after economic study.

    > It isn't used by the liberal party as an anti western tool. It's an actual threat that is creating serious problems across Canada today. It is both. The question is, if Canada completely shut down everything, would that change anything? Would Canada literally ceasing all oil extraction fix any of the issues you bring up? Would it measurably help anything?
