hmmm... a little context for todays climate announcement #BCelxn2020 #bcpoli B.C.’s emissions reach highest levels since 2001 Thread/ thenarwhal.ca/bc-ghg-emissio…

To be fair, because the emissions data lags almost two years behind, its worth noting that the most significant increase in emissions happened under Christy Clark and the @bcliberals. That said, there is little evidence to support John Horgan and @bcndp meeting BC targets 2/

There is still the matter of the missing 25%. ie even the current modelling under the CleanBC plan shows that we cannot meet our legislated targets due almost entirely to rising emissions from fracking and LNG 3/

The government promised to address this & then increased fossil fuel subsidies to LNG & fracking companies by 79%. thats a 79% increase in fossil fuel subsidies under @bcndp. Those running in this election need to get clear on what they will do with our money in the future 4/

There are announcements & promises 30 years out and then there are actions & budgets. Propping up failing fossil fuel projects for political gain with millions in tax payers dollars and putting a small percentage of the budget to climate solutions will not get us to our targets
