Let s tell the truth about what we re actually doing and what that global impact is, said Carter, a political scientist who specializes in environmental policy.
Scientists have concluded that if global warming is to stay within the 1.5 degrees prescribed in the Paris agreement, there s only so much more carbon that can go into the atmosphere. That so-called carbon budget is about 230 billion tonnes.
Carter and co-author Truzaar Dordi, a doctoral candidate, decided to look at what Canada s contribution to that budget would be.
In a paper released by the Cascade Institute, a sustainable growth think tank,they used government projections of Canadian oil and gas production, accounting for increasingly stringent carbon regulation. That production is to rise until 2039 and remain above current levels to 2050, when Canada has promised its emissions will be net zero.

Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole announced the plan in Ottawa on Thursday.
The proposal is not a carbon tax because the consumer price on carbon would fund a personal low-carbon savings account, O’Toole said. Canadians could use the savings from this account for green purchases, like bicycles, transit passes or electric vehicles.
“This is not a tax not a cent goes to Ottawa,” O’Toole said.

The plan stipulates that Canadians would pay a carbon levy, initially amounting to $20 per tonne of greenhouse gas emissions, every time they buy hydrocarbon-based fuels, such as gas. The carbon price for the savings account would increase over time to reach a maximum of $50 per tonne.
