    1.5% for Canada’s emissions.

    38% just from two countries - China and the US. Throw in India and its 44% of global emissions. From 3 countries out of 195.

    98.5% of global emissions are NOT from Canada. We are barely a teaspoon.

      Right, so let’s must not make any effort and throw our trash in the rivers and the lakes and jack up oil production and greenhouse gas emissions because why the fuck not. Right?

      What a shit mentality.

      And you do understand the reason why these countries pollute so much is because all our industries moved their production there, thanks to globalization efforts, for the very reason that they lack costly environmental protection like we have here in our western countries, right? We’re in large part responsible for that pollution.

      I’d prefer we do our part instead and be a leading example that we can be proud of instead of nihilistic assholes.

        Your first comment is outlandish and not anything close to the opinion I presented.

        And yes, you’re saying exactly the same thing I did when you agree that we’re responsible for moving our production elsewhere. Thats my point. We still buy everything from China and THAT’S the world’s primary polluter not the oil and gas industry.
