#ClimateTargets
🇪🇺 In the next few weeks, the EU is set to finalise the new 2040 #ClimateTargets.

❌ But the proposal sticks to the #NetZero playbook, relying on international #offsets and #CarbonRemovals instead of real emissions cuts.

We need to move beyond net zero — and take meaningful steps toward #RealZero!

@albomp.bsky.social “if you believe in markets, you let competition in, don’t smother it behind tariff walls. Protectionism won’t sharpen carmakers. It dulls them, punishing consumers by stripping away choice.” Ozzies want cheaper, less polluting cars #Auspol #ClimateTargets

#ClimateTargets #EmissionPeak Despite the significance, 🇨🇳's plan met with disappointment. E3G called the 7-10% target "critically short," not aligning with 🇨🇳's economic decarbonization potential or its 2060 carbon neutrality goal.

The assessment rests on three pillars.

First, a clear policy reversal. Dismantling the #CarbonTax and pausing the #EVMandate have removed effective #ClimatePolicies, creating a significant ambition gap while Canada is already on pace to miss its 2026 and 2030 #ClimateTargets.

But critics warn the #ClimateImpact will be profound. The #DavidSuzukiFoundation says the project's massive #emissions would make it "essentially impossible" for B.C. to meet its #ClimateTargets.

#AmnestyInternational adds that it violates the rights of the #Wet’suwet’enHereditaryChiefs.

Meeting #ClimateTargets NOW requires the CARBON INTENSITY OF #GDP to #DECLINE* 3 x (in words: THREE TIMES) FASTER than the GLOBAL BEST 30-YEAR HISTORICAL RATE (–2.25 % per year), which has NOT IMPROVED OVER THE PAST FIVE DECADES!

- Jobs not created
- Communities losing revenue streams
- Young Albertans fleeing to other provinces for clean energy careers
- Climate targets becoming impossible

💡 Co-firing #hydrogen and ammonia in coal and gas plants offers limited emission reductions at relatively high costs. Scaling renewables and grids offer a lower-cost route to reach #climatetargets. 5/x
