Canada Fails to Reduce Greenhouse Gases
A new report claims that Canada’s recent CO2 cutting efforts have accomplished almost nothing.
About two billion dollars have been assigned to the global warming measures so far. The bulk of the funds (1.5 billion Canadian) were used for a climate change trust fund, from which money was transferred to the provinces to reduce their emissions.
Now, a report by Scott Vaugn, Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development for the Office of the Auditor General of Canada, suggests that this money was misspent. Vaughn has pointed out that the plan developed by the federal agency (Environment Canada) did not include accountability for the provinces and territories in showing how they spent the money, and if the funding accomplished specific environmental goals.
