NEW: When the residents of Barcelona came out of the coronavirus lockdown they were greeted with miles of shiny yellow new bike lanes. Meet the man who's rethinking transit in a car-centric city https://t.co/j3KSgPiRWT
This article gives a good overview of Canada’s climate plan. Looking at segments of the plan in isolation, like the TMX or carbon tax, has us missing the bigger picture. The plan makes sense; it is ambitious but doable. Worth a read: https://t.co/onwIO2HOj3 via @NatObserver
@wef Guilty as charged, though since trading in my compact car for an SUV, I try to drive it as little as possible. We really are going the wrong direction, though. CO2 emissions of 200g/km. Wow!
@EcofiscalCanada@Brendan_Frank This is how carbon pricing is supposed to work! Rather than debate whether to price carbon, let’s debate what to do with the revenue.

Yesterday, the federal government announced details of its output-based pricing system for large emitters. The system protects competitiveness and rewards firms that make their operations cleaner https://t.co/w5agrXEnad #cdnecon#CarbonPricingWorks
Nova Scotians need to know this. Though we have made improvements, we are far from good. With our go-it-alone cap and trade system and its substantial free allowances, we are shirking our responsibility.
For those who prefer static plots...
Can make out ON's move away from coal.
PE's move to wind+imports (note the emission intensity of imports doesn't count...)
AB, SK and NS outliers in the pack. All moving lower...
