, released on Canada Day, says there are projects in development globally that by 2030 would increase natural gas supply to 806 million tonnes above what they are now.
The report says the increase in natural gas is driven largely by the North American fracking boom, which changed the industry about 11 years ago. A 1.5 C goal would require a global cut in natural gas of 15 per cent by 2030 and 43 per cent by 2050. If all the current proposed projects are built, natural gas supply will instead triple by 2030, the Global Energy Monitor says.
"Even today, there's still talk of natural gas a bridge towards renewables, which is completely contrary to the facts," said Ted Nace, executive director of the Global Energy Monitor. Natural Resources Canada says 18 LNG projects are proposed in Canada, 13 in British Columbia, two in Quebec and three in Nova Scotia. The federal government just announced a $220 million contribution to the LNG Canada project in Kitimat, B.C., to help fund energy-efficient gas turbines as part of the $40 billion project.
Take your report & stick it, in Canada,the reduction of carbon emissions must be established in Laws, but must include all sectors in Canada's economy by setting targets for carbon emissions as enforced & penalized through these emissions Laws, legalized Tax Fraud by govs
Cooler heads prevailing, thank goodness, is undermining ridiculous climate change action.
The only fallacy is that there is a “solution” for climate change - a natural process which has been taking place since the planet formed.
Dammit, how am I supposed to heat my home?
