Unrealistic Canadian Climate Policy Bogs Down Economy says Friends of Science Society Report

“Canadian Local weather Coverage – What Comes Subsequent?” is a brand new report by Robert Lyman, revealed by Pals of Science Society. US Endangerment Discovering on carbon dioxide is consequential to central financial institution and Canadian local weather insurance policies.

CALGARY, AB, Sept. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Pals of Science Society’s new report titled, “Canadian Climate Policy – What Comes Next?” affords key factors on Canada’s local weather commitments as revealed in: Canada’s First Biennial Transparency Report underneath the Paris Settlement and Canada’s 2035 Nationally Decided Contribution (NDC). Authored by retired power economist, Robert Lyman, the Pals of Science Society report exhibits that Canada’s GHG discount aspirations are usually not backed up by any technique of learn how to obtain targets.

Pals of Science Society produced a video explainer of the “Canadian Local weather Coverage…” report, noting that as a substitute of predicting future local weather damages, the Canadian authorities experiences now tie current day wildfires and excessive climate occasions to local weather change; this conflation just isn’t supported by the findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Local weather Change (IPCC).

Lyman writes that local weather insurance policies should be “made extra life like… At a minimal, that requires extra transparency as to how the brand new targets can be met. Even higher can be to desert targets altogether.”

As reported by the CBC on Sept. 11, 2025, newly minted Prime Minister Mark Carney introduced 5 Canadian “nation-building” initiatives, a lot of which can stimulate the financial system, however are usually not “local weather pleasant” and don’t align with Canada’s Paris Settlement local weather targets, says Pals of Science Society.

Inside two hours of the Carney main initiatives announcement, a gaggle of Indigenous and Environmental Non-governmental Organizations (ENGO) rejected the approval of the enlargement LNG Canada Part 2, calling it a “carbon bomb,” as reported by the National Observer, bogging down financial growth, says Pals of Science Society.

Nationwide Observer is a part of the media umbrella group, “Protecting Local weather Now,” which is about to relaunch its “89% Venture.” It is a bandwagoning media marketing campaign to encourage the general public to demand extra local weather motion. That is advocacy, not journalism, says Pals of Science Society in this video critiquing the marketing campaign.

The astounding “carbon bomb” claims of “local weather damages” by these ENGOs within the Nationwide Observer article are based mostly on a examine by Clear Power Canada which references Environment and Climate Change Canada because the supply for its Social Value of Carbon damages, which in flip are stated to be “equivalent” to these adopted by the US EPA.
