Making Sense of Carney’s Energy Policy

It won’t stop climate disaster. But it’s a creature of this weird political moment.

EXCERPT: "If Carney’s energy policy is inadequate, Pierre Poilievre’s policy is just an echo of Trump’s “drill, baby, drill.” Poilievre offers the frantic exploitation of fossil fuels and no mention of climate change — just the evils of the carbon tax.

The two candidates do offer something different. With Poilievre, we reach 2 C or 3 C as quickly as possible. With Carney, we buy some time to alert Canadians to a climate disaster before it actually hits us.

Carney also offers us a government that might be open to evidence-based arguments, and a prime minister who might be able to minimize the economic damage." [Tyee]
