BC’s New Democratic Party was just re-elected in a campaign where they touted their climate leadership. Despite these reassuring words, Canadians should pay close attention to what’s happening. The province has turned into a climate laggard, with emissions stuck far above 1990 levels. And, perhaps shockingly, all the increase in climate pollution has happened while the BC NDP has been running the government. …For comparison, I’ve shown what Canada and its peers in the G7 advanced economies have done. BC is doing even worse than the G7’s climate laggard, Canada. …A second startling takeaway is how the entire rise in provincial emissions happened while the BC NDP was running the government. …Provincial emissions rose by a net total of 16 million tonnes of CO2 (MtCO2) during the years when the BC NDP were in power. Provincial emissions fell by a net 2 MtCO2 during the years the BC Liberals controlled government.
