While Canada claims to be a climate leader, the oil and gas we export to other countries have the potential to produce more emissions in a year than every sector in Canada combined, an independent analysis reveals.

Does that mean that a country that imports 100% of the oil it burns should be counted as having no emissions?

[–] Sekoia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 1 year ago (6 children)

No, but since Canada can regulate/limit the oil and gas it exports, this is still a useful number.

Imports also need to be counted.

Unfortunately climate change is every country's responsibility to fix, since every bit helps.

I disagree - its double counted. Once in Canada, once when actually used.
