Since PM Trudeau came to power in 2015 Canada& #39;s annual greenhouse gas emissions have increased by 10 million tonnes annually, from 720 million tonnes in 2015 to 730 million tonnes in 2019, according to gov& #39;t data released Monday. We are now EXACTLY where we were in 2005. #cdnpoli
During their first term in office, Trudeau and then environment minister Catherine McKenna repeatedly promised Canadians that by 2020, Canada& #39;s annual emissions would be 17% below 2005 levels, or 606 million tonnes, not 730 million tonnes in 2019.
Here is the year by year data showing that Canada& #39;s emissions have increased by 127 million tonnes annually, or 21%, between 1990 (603 million tonnes) & 2019 (730 million tonnes), the latest year for which government figures are now available.

Wait a minute. This year& #39;s report has retroactively changed Canada& #39;s emissions in 2015 to 723 million tonnes, not the 720 million tonnes for 2015 cited in last year& #39;s report. So the new claim is emissions have gone up 7 million tonnes since Trudeau took power, not 10 million.
All of this is of course totally believable and makes perfect sense. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤣" title="Lachend auf dem Boden rollen" aria-label="Emoji: Lachend auf dem Boden rollen">
