The Environment definitions:

Canadian Oxford Dictionary.

The physical surrounding conditions, circumstances, in which a person lives.

Or

The natural world in which people and animals live.

Quite a few million years ago this place we call home was going through climate changes that continue to this day.  You blame carbon for the so-called climate change while ignoring the fact that for those millions of years this little rock has been going though those climate changes is still here and still using carbon as the building block of life on earth. These changes do not happen overnight or even over a few years and instead of panicking about that over which you have no control, perhaps you should be thinking of ways to adapt to the inevitable instead of trying to kill everything.

Why do you deliberately equate carbon and pollution?  You of all people should be aware that carbon is the major building block of almost all life on the planet, and yet clearly you are not aware of that as it is your desire to reach zero carbon.   What this intention of yours amounts to is the end of the human species and I am inclined to agree with you that would be the very best thing that could happen to this planet.

You have a habit of erroneously blaming everything on “Climate Change” while ignoring the more glaring reasons.  Forest fires have increased in direct proportion to the way we look after our forests compared with how they were looked after say 300 years ago. We have created forest floors loaded with tinder dry dead kindling and are surprised when lightning (or careless man ) strikes a match. We have loaded the forests and trees with slivers of aluminium (chemtrails) which burns at a higher temperature than wood thereby creating higher winds to fan the flames among the trees. 

Where is your indignation about this aluminium chaff (along with soo much other junk) being dropped from the sky?

Pollution, the first priority on your portfolio, is mostly ignored I suspect because it is a very real problem but not as propaganda and therefore fear worthy as climate change is a much larger problem than figuring out how to adapt to something over which we/you  have absolutely no control.   Aquafers, rivers, lakes and our oceans are all very sick with toxic chemicals, rubbish, all sorts of metal and of course toxic industrial waste, not to mention mining or fracking retaining ponds.  None of this seems to matter or mean a damn thing to you because you are fixated on something you cannot change.

Where is your indignation about the 5G towers and their effect upon the birds and pollenating insects? I suppose you want to ignore it because with no carbon there will be no flowers to be pollenated will there?  When the world is like Gaza of today will you wake up? I doubt it. When you cannot breathe due to lack of natural oxygen will you wake up to what you have done?  I doubt it.

I would recommend two books to you, both still available – “Silent Spring” by Rachel Carson and “Sea Sick” by Alanna Mitchell both of which will help you to understand the other part of your portfolio – pollution. 

Have you even thought about making Imperial Mines clean up – or try to – Quesnell Lake after the Mount Polley mine damn break?  Are you even thinking about the aquafers being destroyed in northern BC and what the ramifications of their destruction will mean? 

Have you given a thought to the wind farms of the east coast? The winds will need to be very strong to turn the turbines – strong enough to bring down trees and hydro pole thus causing electric outages, so where will the wind turbine product go? I have had the answer for this for years but federal governments would rather clean up the mess than avoiding it in the first place.  Why in such a climate are the hydro wires etc., above the ground?  Why should the people on the east coast go cold at least once -for maybe weeks – each year? 

Have you thought about the site C dam and how far the water will flow when it breaks and takes out the other two dams on the Peace River?  Will the water get to the Red River? How long will it take to clean up that mess; on the other hand, of course, there will not be such a huge need for rain to grow the gropes…oh no wait a minute there will not be any because there will be no birds or insects to pollinate them.

Have you figured out how to recycle the batteries from electric cars, buses, trucks, trains and bicycles?   How to maintain enough charging stations?  Even how to generate enough electricity to supply the demand?  How many stations will be required along the railroad tracks and how long will it take to charge up the locomotives? At truck stops there will be bottle necks where hours are need to “fuel up” as opposed to 15 minutes today for passing through trucks. Or will there be charging stations at all sleeping spots as well? 

I do not hear you talk about these problems and I have to wonder why.  There will of course be multiple problems and I suspect that you along with the PM really don’t care because that will be some one else’s problem to deal with in 2025.

Maybe your exploits in the past have affected your mind, but I suggest you stop and think what your responsibilities are not only now, but also to future generations of Canadians, if there are to be any.

I do not approve of your absurd and pathetic actions on climate change nor your non actions on pollution.
