USA leaves Paris Climate Accord • http://www.businessinsider.com/trump-leaves-paris-accord-but-not-just-about-climate-change-2017-6 or https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/01/climate/trump-paris-climate-agreement.html?_r=0 President Trump announced on Thursday that the United States would withdraw from the Paris climate accord, weakening efforts to combat global warming and embracing isolationist voices in his White House who argued that the agreement was a pernicious threat to the economy and American sovereignty. In a speech from the Rose Garden, Mr. Trump said the landmark 2015 pact imposed wildly unfair environmental standards on American businesses and workers. He vowed to stand with the people of the United States against what he called a “draconian” international deal.
- 11. Canada / PM Trudeau Comments: • Cleantech is $50B business, but losing money • Cleantech needs raw materials, refinement, fabrication, delivery and installation • Canada is already carbon neutral • Trudeau’s key member Gerald Butts was responsible for the Green Act in Ontario. Ontario has some highest electrical rates in North American • NWO is driving movement to eliminate CO2 man-made • CO2 is not a pollutant, but foundation for life - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Smhn1gL6 Xg&t=713s
- 12. Air Quality • Poor air quality countries • Cheap dirty coal • De-Forestration • Carbon based economy (oil) • Poor environment regulations for air, water and land management • Many countries have come along way in terms of air quality through new regulations • Tougher emissions control systems for cars • Better scrubbing technology for industry • Clean Coal • Better management of forest (Natural Absorption for CO2 – Greenhouse gases
- 13. Other issues • Too many countries are using carbon tax/pricing to cut emission without any real success • Government are masking green policies as they are helping the environment which in fact all they have done is hike taxes as well as increase the cost of power generation • Too many governments are not taking a balance approach to both environment and the economy.
