"The rest of the world is struggling to find balanced ways to reduce carbon emissions"?  Rubbish!  

China's commitment so far is to continue to increase it's carbon output till 2033, when it will begin to consider otherwise.

The Indian government says it will reduce carbon emissions 33 to 35% by 2030.  Sounds great eh?  Until you read the fine print . . . lower the rate relative to its GDP.  India's GHG emissions are soaring and will continue to do so.  

Now with the USA out of the game, Trudeau doubles down on his pledge to euthanise the Canadian economy with a carbon tax, even though Canada produces only 1.8% of global GHG's.  And Canada's vast boreal forests absorb more CO2 than Canada emits!  All this for mere symbolism. 

Trudeau is going to drive Canada's economy into the dumpster for a plan that, even if it succeeds, will do nothing to alter the rate or direction of climate change.
