GOLDSTEIN: Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions reportedly rise again in 2021
Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions went up by 19 million tonnes, or by 2.8%, in 2021 according to the Canadian Climate Institute, contradicting Trudeau government assurances that 2021 emissions would be lower than in 2020.
Indeed, if the institute’s numbers are accurate — the government’s official figures for 2021 won’t come out until April — this also bodes ill for former environment minister Jonathan Wilkinson’s prediction that Canada’s annual emissions would drop every year from 2020 to 2030
