“What far too few leaders seem to grasp (prefer not to grasp?) is that every delay means an ever-steepening challenge. Canada has the widest emissions gap among the countries UNEP surveyed — a 27 per cent gap between policies in place and international commitments. The U.S. logs the next widest at 19 per cent.” nationalobserver.com/newslette

“after 35 years of broken promises and failed half-measures in Canada, it’s hard to see any hopeful scenario Canadians are willing to act on. We certainly know what we need to be doing. We just refuse to act — year after year, decade after decade.” nationalobserver.com/2023/11/1

"The Fifth National Climate Assessment, or NCA, is a peer-reviewed collaboration by more than 800 scientists from 14 federal agencies, universities and research institutions."

It has a lot of bad news - and a bit of optimism - for the most climate-denying nation on the planet. Buckle up North America because no where will be immune to the present and future effects of climate change.

When Idiot Savants Do Climate Economics

"It is unfortunate for his calculations that agriculture is the foundation on which the other 97 percent of GDP depends. Without food — strange that one needs to reiterate this — there is no economy, no society, no civilization. Yet Nordhaus treats agriculture as indifferently fungible."

“Canada doesn’t have the guts to take on fossil fuel companies and their powerful banking allies, is betting that the energy transition fails, or doesn’t believe it is the government’s job to align the economy of today with the demands of tomorrow. Whatever the rationale, we are a country at risk of being left behind.” nationalobserver.com/2023/10/2

"the only reason oil prices are high right now is because the Saudis and other OPEC members have decided to voluntarily cut millions of barrels of their production. But there’s only so far they’re going to cut, and only so long they’ll be willing to prop up the market — and by extension, Alberta’s treasury. When the Saudis decide it’s in their best interests to stop — say, when they see demand rolling over as renewables continue to take market share — they’ll happily flip the switch and flood the market all over again."

"Singly, each of those three events exacted a heavy toll on the province. Collectively, they made for the single-worst climate catastrophe in Canadian history." 

"Our research, published today by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, shows that when the broad sweep of non-insured losses is considered — along with a number of other factors — the estimated economic hit in B.C. associated with 2021’s extreme weather events is in the range of $10.6 billion to $17.1 billion."
