Environment Minister Was Right To Stick With Harper's Climate Targets

How you feel about this decision depends on how you felt about the target was in the first place. The Harper target is a 30 per cent reduction in Canada's greenhouse gas emissions below 2005 levels by 2030. That works out to eliminating 208 million tons of carbon over the next 14 years. Is that ambitious? Maybe not, if you think Canada's goals should be judged by what our peers are doing.

It doesn't slow growing oil demand in emerging economies, where most of the growth in energy demand will come from in the future.
