Reading the Harper governments claims about its climate efforts is like reading one of Orwells books, Mark Jaccard, professor at Simon Fraser Universitys School of Resource and Environment Management. Eliminating policy is to implement policy. Blocking and abandoning global negotiations is to lead global negotiations. Muzzling scientists is to have science inform decision-making. Working hard to increase carbon pollution is to decrease it. Black is white. Dishonesty is truth. Jaccard told DeSmog Canada, we can no longer say that we are unsure what meaningful action on climate would look like. Provinces across the country could follow Quebecs lead and join Californias cap-and-trade system, he said, which would increase the effectiveness of the whole system, making it much harder for some U.S. politicians to continue to present this as an economy killer.
