I am a horrible skeptic on this topic. The same billionaires who fund the climate fear campaign, also starting wars in Ukraine and Israel.. Carbon emissions or pollution from steel industry alone, can make a huge positive impact, with the advent of EAF, and biochars replacing coal and coke. Canada is 1% of the world steel production, so why carbon tax for average income earning citizens? It’s all symbolic propaganda to stroke Trudeau’s ego in the world stage. China on the other hand, is 54% of world capacity, but they are a communist state. That is where Canada is heading anyway.
Michael. Thank you for your comment. Another thing lost on most people, is that many of the punitive climate change policies have the impact of tamping down GDP. We certainly suffer from a stagnant GDP in Canada. But it is even worse for all the developing nations who are attempting to grow their economies, pull people from poverty, increase education and health levels, etc. Energy availability and security have a direct and causal relationship with GDP and prosperity.
Thank you for the comment, Roland. Unfortunately, some of these basic realities are just not understood or commonly reported. I hope my little corner of the world at Pragmatic Canadian can help people think a bit more expansively. Share it widely.
