In supposedly fighting human-induced climate change, four different Canadian governments headed by four different prime ministers have set eight major national greenhouse gas emission reduction targets in the last 32 years.
They failed to achieve any of them, or were so far behind when they left office, or are so far behind today, that none can be taken seriously.
In keeping with tradition, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced a ninth and tenth unattainable target in last week’s throne speech, boldly declaring: “The Government will immediately bring forward a plan to exceed Canada’s 2030 climate goal. The Government will also legislate Canada’s goal of net-zero emissions by 2050.”
Except Trudeau is about to miss his 2020 target.
