And if there is no actions you would be ready to back up , how can that make you being in favour of doing something about climate changes I wonder ?
First Off thank you for the questions
Yes I do believe I care about Climate Change and I do believe that it will be one of the potential items that leads to the planets destruction along with Nuclear war and the advancement of AI weapons.
Though to use a few analogies I look at climate change like the movie Independence Day. The world as a whole must come together to battle it. Sadly the world is not there its full of hollow targets from many countries. Some of the countries that preach the most are now reverting back to some pf the dirtiest forms of fossil Fuels
Sadly greed is going to ensure that no one is going to tackle this problem. Leaders in Russia, China, India, Middle East, Developing nations do not care . Many of these get passes on any climate targets. I also agree that does not mean we do nothing as we can be a example to the rest of the world
Now to Canada my problem is we have a leader that seems to target only two to three provinces in its strategies. His Climate strategy is based on votes
If your going to attack climate change and I would add in the pollution of our oceans as well you go after the worst areas first
I think we would agree that coal is the worst at least coal used for power generation not steel manufacturing . Would you agree Coal is our worst?
So the first thing I would do is phase out coal for power generation in Canada and immediately put a halt to any coal being shipped through Canadian ports .
I would also immediately look towards nuclear power especially these mini reactor technology out there.
AS well I am fine with the carbon tax as long as its not politically targeted at Conservative voters. I would only offer rebates to folks under a certain income and they would have to apply for it just as you do with Medical expenses or RRSP deductions
That money would be accounted for and not as it is now distributed to companies based on how much money they donate to the liberal party with no accountability were it goes
I would also offer rebates for solar power installations but only for North American manufactured panels
Let me ask you this why are some of the biggest polluted projects being built in Quebec getting approved with no federal study on their impact? Why do we still ship all that US coal to China through Vancouver ports when the US west coast bans it?. I am tired of 2050 goals and 2030 goals when you have limited action now.
Heck its taking us how many years to ban plastic bags
Its all about votes
Let me ask you this. As the planet warms which we see everywhere and folks buy more and more electric cars and air conditioners were is that power coming from?
Also how does the cost of owning an electric car compare to a hybrid or a car that gets great gas mileage.
Were do all the components come from in that battery? What are we going to do with that battery when its worn out?
How about this every person and industry must reduce their carbon footprint by 30 % and have each politician in the liberal party tell us how they are doing it in their daily lives. How many times do I see our politicians preach to us about climate change holding a store bought plastic water bottle. It starts with the small things
