BC Libs let big oil write climate plan
Newly uncovered documents obtained through Freedom of Information requests reveal the cozy relationship between the fossil fuel industry and the last B.C. government went even further than suspected — all the way to inviting industry to directly craft the province’s climate “leadership” plan.
Let’s rewind for a second: back in the spring of 2015, then-premier Christy Clark announced the provincial government would create a new climate plan.
A 17-member climate leadership team was appointed and tasked with developing recommendations to meet B.C.’s greenhouse gas reduction targets. The government released the team’s recommendations in the fall of 2015 — allowing then-Premier Christy Clark head off to Paris for the December 2015 UN climate talks cloaked in the mantle of climate “leadership,” after four years of near-total inaction by her government.

Cue the Desmog.ca detractors. If it weren't for Desmog and CBC, British Coludmbians would be similar to a crop of mushrooms.......kept in the dark and fed a daily diet of manure.

Climate action plan. Thousands of people are dying annually from diesel pollution in first world countries, while thousands more are displaced by interface fires and predictable floods. Meanwhile, tens of thousands go without clean water and light and a reasonable means of heating their homes and cooking their food. And we're supposed to get all excited about who got input into wasting our resources battling the climate. But we're not going to talk about the pointlessness and waste, are we? It's all "Look, Christy Clark! RubberchickencorruptionLiberalarrogance!"
K. I'm going back to my timeout.

Hmmm.......I was expecting "Desmog and CBC are a bunch of left wing losers who live off the a ails of working people." That's the usual type of comment posted by Postmedia readers who are unaware of the BC Liberal connection to Big Oil.

Re: BC Libs let big oil write climate plan
since you have no problems with big oil writing bclibs climate laws then you shouldnt have any problem with first nations deciding when and if dams get built on their land . other wise you might come across as anti first nations based on race

Re: BC Libs let big oil write climate plan
Let's stay on topic which is about how the BC Liberals let big oil write the climate 'non-plan'. There is another Site C topic that has been debated since about 2013, and continues to be a hot topic.

Does 'consulting with the oil industry' include holding fundraising dinners with CAPP in Calgary?

Re: BC Libs let big oil write climate plan
Site C is part of the "climate plan." That's the part that often gets missed (deliberately by some). When literally everything is about cronies, insiders, corruption, "cozying up" etc. people start to tune out. Something that benefits us all, e.g. Site C, is initiated but if it benefits a particular group in terms of profit we're told that the project is a result of "cozying up." We saw that during the Liberal years in government when a hospital was built and we were told was only built for cronies and party insiders. LOL. And consulting with the oil industry is a good thing, not a bad thing.
like i said if you think its fine that clark let big oil write our climate plan an for kickbacks then yiu wont have a problem with bctif writing education law and first nations deciding when and where if a dam or mine gets built.

Yup - desmog is a conspiracy theory outlet. 'Article" after "article' that they publish contains not more than 1/4 of the story and is spun into rubbish.
