The @bcgreencaucus negotiated the inclusion of accountability and transparency laws in #CleanBC - including this annual report and establishment of an interim target - hoping they would outlive the minority gov't and provide an evidence-based foundation for future work.1/ #bcpoli https://twitter.com/Pembina/status/1339340504324997120
Minister @GeorgeHeyman has stated that “The report shows that finalizing the detailed roadmap to our full 2030 #emission targets has been more challenging than we thought when we released #CleanBC two years ago.” This is simply not true 👇 2/ #bcpoli #climate
Minister @GeorgeHeyman knew how challenging it would be; the @bcgreencaucus, advocates and scientists have long said it would be all but impossible to meet our climate targets while the @bcndp approved massive #fossilfuel expansions. 3/ #bcpoli #climate #climatecrisis
We see #emissions from communities starting to go down, but oil and gas emissions are up. This trend will continue under the @bcndpcaucus government as they work to expand #oilandgas development. 4/ #LNG #climate #bcpoli
#CleanBC is a partial road map - incomplete until it shows how we can reach our targets. The finalized plan was due weeks ago. The @bcndp are delaying the work for another year. Why? Because the #LNG development they bought simply doesn't fit. 5/ #Climateaction can’t wait #bcpoli
It is unfair for government to expect individuals to continue making sacrifices and incur costs while they allow the #oilandgas sector to not just keep polluting - but actually helping them expand. 6/ #climate #climateaction #bcpoli
Politicians are obsessed with 2050 because it distracts from the responsibility they have to take serious action on the #climatecrisis today. Today, we're dangerously off track. The @UN @IPCC_CH says global net human-caused #emissions need to fall 45% by 2030. 7/ #climate #bcpoli
