Oil and gas production hikes and rebounding air travel put a drag on Canada’s climate progress last year, but a new report says the country was still able to make a modest cut to its planet-warming emissions.
New estimates published by a leading climate policy institute show Canada cut emissions by about one per cent last year compared to 2022, or eight per cent since 2005.
But the Canadian Climate Institute says the country will need to speed up that progress if it hopes to hit its 2030 target to cut emissions by 40 to 45 per cent compared to 2005 levels.
The report says the electricity sector remains a standout, cutting emissions by 6.2 per cent year-over-year, or 38 per cent since 2005, boosted by policies such as industrial carbon pricing and coal phaseouts.

Is he? His wikipedia entry doesn't use the "c" word. Surely a convict can't run for public office in Canada.

Braid: Guilbeault hits height of hypocrisy with charge of immoral lawbreaking

I was being facetious. Wikipedia treads lightly on his transgression, and we seem to have a different standard of propriety for convicts in our own government compared to our standard for what we would like the US to allow in theirs.Braid: Guilbeault hits height of hypocrisy with charge of immoral lawbreaking

The warnings arrived after the waters had already begun to rise.
Spain’s deadliest floods in decades are another harrowing reminder that Europe is unprepared for the consequences of a superheated atmosphere, said European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Wednesday.
“This is the dramatic reality of climate change. And we must prepare to deal with it,” she said.
But the intensity of the rainfall that hit areas around Spain's third-largest city, Valencia — in some places, roughly a year’s worth of rain in a single day — exposed the country's unreadiness and led the Socialist-led national government to slam the center-right regional authorities for failing to pass on early warnings to people in danger.
Valencia’s regional government, which is responsible for coordinating emergency services in the affected areas, admitted that it had only sent out a text message warning residents of the impending catastrophe at 8:12 PM, eight hours after the first floods were reported, and 10 hours after Spain’s National State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) issued an alert highlighting “extreme danger” across the Valencia region.
By the time the Valencian authorities acted "the situation had already escalated significantly," said an official from the national Ministry for the Ecological Transition.

Wikipedia, if it doesn’t link to sources, is anyone’s word.I should've caught that when you used Wikipedia as a source.
However, most articles do link to sources, so you can look through those.

…hidden towards the bottom of the article…
And we see blame on climate change here in Canada yet let people continually rebuild in flood damaged areas and feign surprise the next time the flooded areas are…flooded. (Gatineau, Fraser Valley, etc.)

He's a sanctimonious hypocritical jerk. I would not be surprised if he had an offshore account with much $$$ for his retirement next year.
