Long interview with Steven Guilbeault about his protest resignation from Carney’s cabinet, Canada’s carbon-emissions story, and #ClimateChange in general. It’s a Bloomberg podcast but there’s a transcript:

There is 'no way' Canada can meet climate goals now

After Canada elected Mark Carney as prime minister, there was hope that the country would continue to back climate policies. That hope has now been crushed, after Carney signed a deal with the oil-producing province of Alberta that promises to roll back or dilute many green regulations. As a result, Steven Guilbeault, Carney’s culture minister has resigned from cabinet. He was the environment minister under Justin Trudeau and responsible for many of the policies at risk of being undone. This week on Zero, Guilbeault tells Akshat Rathi why the Alberta deal was the last straw and why he thinks the Canadian government should admit that it's set to miss its climate goals. Zero is a production of Bloomberg Green. Our producer is Oscar Boyd. Special thanks to Danielle Bochove, Sommer Saadi, Mohsis Andam, Sharon Chen and Laura Millan. Thoughts or suggestions?

@timbray The US seems bound and determined to generate as much CO2 as possible under the new regime. Canada's emissions are in the noise by comparison.
