I find CCI to be very neutral. I admit I disagree with their apparently acceptance of removing the consumer carbon levy and rebate. And I don't trust industrial carbon pricing to do the job without a firm cap to back it up. But perhaps CCI et al can convince me :)

I'm kind of baffled how the "moderates" have apparently all decided to turn against climate policy at once, just as China reaches green electrostate liftoff mode. I thought these people were all about National Greatness and making Hard Choices

And in addition to @f0rcryin0utl0ud.bsky.social response re LNG, see Pembina's article about Pathways. I am assuming greenlighting Pathways will be part of the grand bargain

I didn't need to rebut it :) It is one of the articles that informed my op. The subhead:

Evidence suggests that expanding Canadian LNG will increase domestic emissions and have uncertain implications for global emissions.

And I don't think Carney et al have ever provided their numbers.

Thanks :)

LNG is not clean energy

There is no indication that our LNG will reduce emissions. It will actually increase our emissions. And *if* you give Pathways a greenlight, it will increase emissions.

So what is your definition of sustainably?

IEEFA expects Europe’s gas consumption and LNG imports to fall by 15% and 20%, respectively, between 2025 and 2030....

ieefa.org/articles/eur...

How much will the LNG projects increase our emissions by? Will you guarantee it won't slow down renewables rollout in the importing countries? Will it even be needed?

coal is at or close to a peak, oil set to follow around 2030 and gas by 2035, based on STEPS
