Canadian prime minster Mark Carney is not the climate guy you thought | Seth Klein
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, once seen as a climate champion, is facing criticism for rolling back key climate policies. Many voters who supported him are experiencing regret as his government weakens environmental regulations and promotes fossil fuel infrastructure. The shift in Carney's approach has led to a significant decline in climate discourse and action in Canada.
- ▪Carney has dismantled major components of Canada's climate strategy since taking office.
- ▪He scrapped the consumer carbon price and delayed clean electricity regulations to 2050.
- ▪The government is fast-tracking new fossil fuel projects while refusing to implement a windfall profits tax on oil and gas companies.
