QUOTE: "Former environment and climate change minister Catherine McKenna told Canada's National Observer it's "completely bonkers" to come to a climate summit to push oil and gas extraction.

"This is a climate conference for serious people who are committed to climate action," said McKenna, who most recently chaired a United Nations expert group that set the gold standard for net-zero commitments to define what's greenwashing for companies, cities and regions like the Prairie provinces. "Coming here to a COP and selling your oil and gas is not at all consistent with that. It's not consistent with the science, and it's a complete waste of taxpayer dollars.
“There are real concerns that folks are here to do oil and gas deals at a COP,” she added. “The oil and gas industry had their own summit in Alberta on net zero. If they want to go meet and do their oil and gas deals, do it on their own time, don't do it at COPs.” . . . ."
