The National Energy Board doesn’t review Bombardier for its upstream or downstream carbon emissions when the company proposes to add to the world’s massive fleet of jets. Yet the aviation industry, as the European Union has declared, “is one of the fastest-growing sources of greenhouse gas emissions.” The same consideration applied when governments came to the rescue of General Motors. There was no talk of upstream and downstream emissions. Why then is Canada's oil industry being expected to take the bullet on the climate change file?
