B.C. Conservative Leader John Rustad told a news conference at the Legislature that the NDP’s climate policies are taxing people into poverty and they don’t do anything "to change the weather.‘’
He says the Conservatives, if elected next year, will eliminate the province’s carbon tax, roll back climate-friendly building codes and consider nuclear power as an energy option.
Rustad, a former cabinet minister, was ousted from the caucus of the B.C. Liberals, now B.C. United, in August 2022 after he boosted a social media post casting doubt on climate change science and urging people to “celebrate CO2.”
In posts on both Facebook and Twitter, Rustad shared a graphic and post arguing that people had been “hoodwinked” by climate change science and they should be glad CO2 is being emitted into the atmosphere.
A statement issued Wednesday by the B.C. Conservatives did not deny climate change.
“Our changing climate is real, and man is impacting our climate” said Rustad in a statement about the party’s climate policy.
The statement then said British Columbians are not facing an existential threat from the changing climate and climate change is not a crisis.
Goddamn, and people vote for this group. How embarrassing.
The idiots in the other parties refuse to acknowledge climate change. They should not be allowed to speak about it.
Plants and trees breath in CO2 that humans exhale, and plats exhale oxygen that humans breath in.
The more CO2 there is the better for trees and plants. Anyone wanting to cut CO2 wants to kill plants and it means eliminating nature that depends on it to breath in.
Having potted plants in the home is nature’s air filter for the people’s house.
It’s cute how the scale of the two numbers involved make your arguments a complete farce. Bucket, meet drop.
