Climate change inaction in B.C. is insulting

B.C. Environment Minister insists province is a leader ... CBC News headline Dec. 2.

Since the Nov. 27 release of the revised Climate Leadership Team’s report, one thing is very clear. When you assemble a group of experts and ask for their recommendations, you must first take a reverse engineering approach; make it clear what results and recommendations you want, then ask for the data and recommendations that will support your wants.

The Nov. 27 report and recommendations are the result of a discussion paper that came out earlier in the year and sought input from the public and organizations.

After all the work done by individuals, organizations and the Climate Leadership Team, the suggestion by our government that further consultation is needed is an insult to the electorate and a real indication of its commitment to climate action.
