This is what Schellnhuber was getting at in Paris in 2015 when he called for an "induced implosion" of the fossil fuel industry. Nothing short of government intervention stands a chance of averting catastrophic climate change.<br /><br />Trudeau and Scheer do, as written, want the markets to solve the problem. Those market players (IEA, OPEC and others), however, foresee a booming demand for ever more fossil fuels right into 2040 and beyond. They see future growth for coal and oil in the range of 30 per cent or more by 2040. The fossil fuel giants are banking on it and every year of governmental inaction only reaffirms their approach.<br /><br />Trudeau's new and expanded Trans Mountain pipeline is a 60-year investment. That's roughly how long it takes to recoup the construction and operating costs. It's not something you do for 5 or 10 years.<br /><br />Trudeau is playing straight into the hands of white supremacists who, especially in the States, are coming to view catastrophic climate change as a means to rid the world of a lot of unwanted brown people. <br /><br />https://the-mound-of-sound.blogspot.com/2019/08/not-what-i-usually-expect-on-monday.html<br />The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.com
