Canada oil-gas sector accused of thwarting climate efforts

An analysis of the nation's six largest oil companies -- which comprise 67.8 percent of the sector's market value as well as the industry's main association, found that they have resisted policy changes to reduce emissions while pushing for expansion of oil and gas output, the group said in a report.
This is despite committing to reach net-zero emissions by 2050, and in contrast to calls by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the policy-shaping International Energy Agency for the rapid phaseout of fossil fuels in order to limit warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
"Despite the industry's 'green' PR, the evidence of active campaigning against meaningful policy suggests an insincere commitment to climate action," InfluenceMap analyst Sofia Basheer said in a statement.

      I would not expect otherwise from an oil and gas sector but the Canadian government should take climate change seriously.

        Waste and spills from oil and gas contain hydrocarbons, heavy metals, radioactive material, salts and toxic chemicals, all of which have the potential to damage soils and vegetation directly, and eventually groundwater.

                  Canada needs to get rid of its gas and oil business if it wants to be taken seriously ⚠️
