“Always a good listen, however:
In the episode re CDR, David somewhat flippantly compared Danielle Smith’s review and potential claim on the CPP with Alberta’s “responsibility” for GHG emissions. To put the two issues on a time equivalent basis, one has to compare cumulative emissions since 1965 with the (arguably tenuous) CPP claim. Current emissions don’t do it. On a cumulative basis since 1965, Alberta has emitted a way smaller proportion of the country’s GHG’s than the 53% claim on CPP. I couldn’t find the cumulative provincial emissions, but Alberta’s cumulative emissions over the relevant period may well not be much larger than Ontario’s. Alberta’s CPP claim may be questionable, but the David’s analogy is also questionable and may only become more relevant with significantly more annual emissions over time from Alberta.”
