Cold out

Sorry chuck, I thought you might still remember a few days ago when we were discussing Canada's legislation to cut CO2 by 40% by 2030.
For example
In July, Canada formally committed to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 40 to 45 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030

But it still isn't good enough for the extreme left:
The federal NDP and Green Party of Canada, who had pushed Trudeau to adopt a target of at least 50 and 60 per cent, respectively, slammed Thursday’s announcement as underwhelming.
Can we scale up hydro in time for that?
Considering that they just started strategic consultation at the end of 2021, on how to plan to get there.
Or this their 2030 plan massively impossible too?

But you still think we dont need to do anything? All the premiers have climate action plans as well. Kenney and Moe have their own carbon taxes and plans to reduce emissions. So do you consider them left wingers too? LOL

So Chuck on your cut and paste the first thing mentioned as a solution to get to net zero is renewables. I carefully researched what it would take to replace natural gas with solar and you called me a bullshitter and then you post an article that pushes renewables as a solution. So please tell me again how what I posted was incorrect or in your words bullshit?!?!

Nice deflection when you were proven wrong. It doesn't matter what I think, does it. Our politicians elected by other parts of the country made the decision for me.
And with less than 8 years left to go, they have barely even started consulting about how to go about it.

Because you try to bullshit us that I said we are going to use only solar to replace all other energy sources. Why waste our time with such crap.

Even after I have said we are going to use all of the sources that are often mentioned except for coal. In your backyard they are building renewables and have a plan to reduce emissions in multiple ways.

Answer the question. You don't think excess greenhouse gases are a problem. Correct?

Saskpower and Alberta utilities already have a plan to cut emissions like every other province. The plan is underway but you wont admit it. Coal is done, gas is replacing coal with half the emissions. CCS is in the works. Renewables are well underway. So what's your excuse now?

All the sources except coal? Did you see the graph I posted earlier ? the amount of coal generated electricity in the world absolutely dwarfs everything else. And somehow we will go from that, to everything except coal in such a short period of time?

You really need to keep your story straight. Integrity farmer was on here a few days ago contradicting everything you say, and telling us that natural gas is even worse than coal.
Personally, I am very happy to see our landlocked gas which is often simply a byproduct of oil, being put to good use instead of being flared. Save the coal for a rainy day.

China uses MORE coal in a day than Canada ever has in a year!

I for one think NOTHING needs to be done, Nothing will make any difference in the earth as a whole, and any change is too expensive to be feasible!

Be happy, LIVE, it's a short life, lots more important stuff, don't need the stress of useless ineffective CHANGE!

In Alberta and Saskatchewan yes.
