BNN reported that the federal government has approved a liquefied natural-gas mega-project in B.C. and quoted George Hoberg, a professor of environmental and natural resource policy at UBC’s Institute for Global Issues.
Hoberg called the approval “a major step backward for the Trudeau government’s commitment to meet its Paris climate target,” adding, “Canada has committed to reduce its emissions by 30 per cent by 2030, but this decision increases emissions by nine million tonnes. B.C. has blown through its 2020 emission-reduction target, and abandoned all pretence of reducing emissions before 2030.”
