Harper and Obama climate plans are nothing alike, allege Greens

Special to The Canadian

Stephen Harper.

OTTAWA – Canada must have a real climate change plan to interest U.S. President-elect Barack Obama in negotiating a climate change agreement between Canada and the United States, say the Greens. Canada will also have to provide some assurance it won’t turn its back on the deal a few years down the road, the way the Harper government abandoned the Kyoto Protocol.

“Foreign Affairs Minister Lawrence Cannon can’t truly believe there are any similarities between the Harper government’s approach and Mr. Obama’s plan,” said Green Party leader Elizabeth May.

The Obama plans includes mandatory reductions in greenhouse gas emissions by 80 percent from 1990 levels by 2050 using a market-based cap and trade system.

“Mr. Obama has a real climate change plan with caps of industrial greenhouse gas emissions. Mr. Harper has no caps and encourages industry to increase emissions by relying on intensity targets. This means a fundamental change in Canadian policy is needed to make a deal with an Obama administration,” said Ms. May.

The Green Party of Canada supports the former Environment Commissioner’s call for a mobilization of the federal government to meet the climate crisis.
