Canada must speed up carbon emissions reduction to hit 2030 target: report

Oil and gas production hikes and rebounding air travel put a drag on Canada’s climate progress last year, but a new report says the country was still able to make a modest cut to its planet-warming emissions.

New estimates published by a leading climate policy institute show Canada cut emissions by about one per cent last year compared to 2022, or eight per cent since 2005.

But the Canadian Climate Institute says the country will need to speed up that progress if it hopes to hit its 2030 target to cut emissions by 40 to 45 per cent compared to 2005 levels.

Guilbeault is the carbon unit that we need be rid of.

[westcoastwoodsman]

Just stop with this nonsense. Poverty is a more pressing issue right now.

[Plug]

Why are we fulfilling WEF policy instead of Canadian policy

[hchalz]

Who cares about carbon emission goal? As long as Trudeau and Freeland get the cash, all is well

Whose target? And at what cost? Human carbon?

[canadiansforA]

The carbon tax needs to be dropped all together!!

[ScotianDoomer]

Canada could have a healthy and prosperous economy with complete energy independence. Instead we have this nonsense.

[erichoughton]

ever notice what these “reports” don’t mention? how much carbon do our forest soak up annually vs our emissions? how many areas could we save with proper forest management!

[BDee]

Can we really care if we Canadians are only a couple pay checks away from being homeless...?

When elites stop flying private and yachts travel like the commom man then i might believe privlage for them misery for us.

[CtheWolfe]

If you reduced canadas emissions by 90% which is impossible it’s like a 1% change for the planet.

If we sold China all the natural gas in the world and got them off coal. That would be about a 10% global change and we’d be rich.

[silverpanther]

Canada's contribution is very small compared to the rest of the worlds
1.6 i believe

[Jacko_]

Once we get all that carbon out of the air. How are we going to keep our clean air from going around the planet anyways? Since not every country is on board you know?

[autisticfieldmarshall]

I'm okay with not meeting that "carbon emission goal" if it means having more purchasing power for the citizens. Canada doesn't really negatively affect the environment. Guilbeaut's "reports" have no academic value and aren't worth the value of paper that was wasted on printing them.

[guestuser]

Take away Trudeaus jet. Problem solved

[danperry]

Nana throw that out the window.Canadians are voting for the conservatives and all this will be gone same for the earth 👍

[ZoomZoomMX]

Why china isn't doing anything like charging it's people.
They are building amd planing new coal burning plants till 2045.
Canada reducing makes less than 1% of worldwide carbon emissions

[Cuz.im.batman]

Why? Chnia and india and america put out more emissions individually compared to canada..

[rickboer]

We're not nearly as guilty as China/India and the .U.S. What do they expect ?We are a much smaller country.

[randyf]

Canada does nothing to lower carbon emissions. Taxing the people doesnt do anything to fix carbon emissions.
