trying to reduse GHG emissions

CanadaThe Government of Canada is implementing a sector-by-sector regulatory approach to reduce GHG emissions that protects the environment and supports economic prosperity. The government has already taken action on two of Canada’s largest sources of GHG emissions: transportation and electricity. As a result of this action:
Canada became the first major coal user to ban the construction of traditional coal-fired electricity generation units.
In the first 21 years, the coal regulations are expected to result in a cumulative reduction in GHG emissions of about 214 megatonnes (Mt)—the equivalent of removing 2.6 million personal vehicles from the road per year over this period.
2025 passenger vehicles and light trucks will emit about half as many GHGs as 2008 models.
2025 vehicles would also consume up to 50 per cent less fuel than 2008 vehicles—leading to significant savings at the pump; and,
GHG emissions from 2018 model-year heavy-duty vehicles would be reduced by up to 23 per cent.

Why did Canada quit?

Apparently Canada quit saying that it would have cost them 14 billion dollars o reach the goal.

shipping/exporting

According to daily mail, 16 of the largest ships in the world create as much pollution as all of the cars in the world.
Because of the power power they need to move they have colossal engines. These huge ships usually use as much power as a small power station

oil spills

deadly fuel

These ships use what is known as bunker fuel or heavy marine fuel and it leaves a big trail of lethal chemicals.
These chemicals have been linked to breathing problems, inflammation and cancer.
The ships are allowed to use 4.5 percent sulfer with is 4 500 times more than what a car is a lowed to use.
But that's not all, super ships are allowed to emit 5 000 tons of sulfer a year.
Their are 800million cars in the world, that means that 16 of the largest ships in the world emit more sulfer than all of the cars in the world

effect on humanity

James Corvette, an authority on shipping emissions estimated that every year 65 000 people die in the world. 27 000 being in Europe alone. Britten being hit the hardest with about 2000 deaths from funnel fumes

back down

All of these deadly fuels move back down into the water and poison and kill the marine life, the marine life that we eat. Food poisoning

What is Canada doing to help?

stance on the environment?

Due to the information that I keep on tripping on, I seem to deny that Canada has a stance on the environment.

Why is Canada not doing well?

How does Canada's stance on the environment impact our relationship with other countries? How does Canada's relationship with other countries affect the environment?

what is climate change?

Climate change is the heating of the planet. Over the last few years the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased greatly mostly because of the frequent use of fossil fuels.

Is canada a leader where climate change is concerned? why or why not? Who does a better job than Canada and who is way behind?

carbon emisions increase

In 2008 the carbon emissions increased by more than 24% than in 1990

quits

In 2010 Canada quit the Kyoto treaty

ranking

The Gaurdian
Canada's international reputation as a boy scout on environmental issues has been in decline for well over a decade, and now a new report ranks it 28th out of 30 OECD countries on key indicators such as cutting greenhouse gas emissions and smog

Canada ranks in the top 10 producers of co2
