This comparison blew my mind. CO₂ per capita in the UK v.s. Canada. Each Canadian is 3x as wasteful as the British right now 🤯

For those of you curious how Britain did it, here's a good overview from a few years back. TLDR: * Drop all coal power * Early adopter of price on carbon (cap & trade) * Political consensus, less partisanship (see my replies 🙄) institute.smartprosperity.ca/sites/default/…
@Markshawtoronto Can we see Canada without Alberta ? Or even just Quebec?
@Markshawtoronto Don't be ridiculous
@Markshawtoronto Crazy theory: It's a lot colder in Canada than in the US and cities are 100x more sparse.
@Markshawtoronto Partly because of colder climate, bigger distances, and UK better transit (but we're catching up)
