in Egypt, cuts through the hype and presents a clear set of criteria and standards for net-zero commitments by businesses, investors, and cities and regions. It draws a red line around greenwashing, establishing 10 recommendations that require not only long-term pledges but also short-term science-based targets, detailed transition plans, and credible and independent reporting and verification to ensure progress is being made.
This issue is particularly relevant to Canada where, unlike most other heavy industry sectors such as steel and cement, oil and gas company emissions are still rising – a trend that we can no longer afford if we want to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. This sector will make or break Canada’s climate commitments.
Last year, French President Emmanuel Macron and UN Special Envoy for Climate Ambition and Solutions, Michael Bloomberg, announced that they are establishing a new Net-Zero Data Public Utility, an open and free centralized repository of data on company emissions and climate plans. The pressure to get real is increasing markedly.
The only morally correct thing that we could do as a society is to continue to use fossil fuels
Net zero is a waste of money. Actually, Net zero is the ultimate in green washing....it's a huge waste of money, with huge unintended negative consequences. Companies should be spending less attention in this fairy dust misadventure
/2 Maybe Cath can take a class from Vaclav Smil. Or just read one of his books. There's no replacement for oil, natural gas and coal. “Integrity Matters” Mandatory Climate Reporting – A Risk to Society. cdnpoli
GlobeDebate Not sure if cathmckenna knows how things are made...but... she needs some lessons in integrity and not greenwashing the public. /2
Elected officials need to stop lying and stealing and get serious with their oath of office.....
She can say whatever she wants, at least I’ve never ate dog
What's with all the hate for NetZero? I had free dial-up for most of 2001 and 2002 because of them, great ISP, imo.
Agreed on this one
“While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease.' (Genesis 8:22, ESV) The earth will not be destroyed by God, by us, or anything else. So walk on the grass, shoot a deer and drill for oil. Climate change is a hoax.
The Globe and Mail should stop making newsprint, using computers, flying their reporters everywhere, warming their office space and print stories full of methane.... that will certainly get us closer to net zero
Net zero = environmental fascism.
🖕
hello........
Imfuckingpossible. A totalfuckingscam.
And what will happen to the climate if they meet those net-zero pledges? Jack s***.
Communist rag.
Net zero is about as accurate as net carbs: total SCAM.
Great article and good luck at the conference.
Lol. McKenna? Wheels up.
No they don’t actually. ESG is literally fascism.
The only way we can save the planet is keep raising those taxes
That's steam (H2O) coming out of those stacks. The press always shows darkened photos of steam to try to scare people.
You mean the billion dollar business that everyone knows is a crock of 💩
Yiu mean the Illinois dollar business that everyone knows is a crock of 💩
net zero is a massive scam
1. Climate change 2. Climate cult 3. Climate communism -- you are here
The UK is buying wood pellets from BC as they cut down the forests. That's greenwashing.
The concept of 'Net-Zero' itself, is ludicrous, and pie-in-the-sky nonsense.
Net zero is a losing strategy because it is not grounded in reality. Wait, I guess that's the point to these people.
🤣🤣🤣 net nothing ESG is a scam
STOP playing the communist bullshit game entirely.
Its time to shove 'net-zero' back up where the sun doesn't shine.
I reject your nonsense and lies to children garbage
Net-zero is a suicide pact.
Ok with what more taxes, thats not the answer were overtaxed as it is
No net zero is the scam!
Net-zero is a total scam
Esg is a scam
Boring theatre
Why? There is no climate crisis.
Yes that's true. And since companies rarely do anything unless pushed - that's why we have and need a carbon price.
Wrong.
Screw you and your agenda!
When are you asking the PM when he is going to stop flying in the guzzling airplanes? Shouldn’t that be net zero too?
And we will all be poorer and poorer... based on science and for the good of all. 😏
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
No. We need to start marginalizing and ridiculing the fools calling for net zero.
Says Catherine McKenna…
Trees love CO2.
ClimateCrisis NewWorldOrder
Is the Globe and Mail net zero? Please provide evidence you are.
Shut up you paid up pointless propaganda liars
No.
We see your shameless propaganda and nudge tactics
Wrong
No. No they should not. Leave the cult.
Biggest scam of our lifetime.
I would bet whatever the F is going on in Ohio left a bigger footprint than my entire family
Nope. We don't all actually want to live in a WEF commie shithole.
Have you got a photo of what looks like Steam as evidence of pollution?
Meanwhile in the Uks
Companies need to be more serious about their ability to compete on world stage, but on the other hand though, we don’t have any company that matters on world stage any way.
