Alberta Conservatives Pass Climate Denial Resolution 12 to Celebrate CO2 Pollution | UCP pledges to abandon the province’s net zero targets, and remove the designation of CO2 as a pollutant.
Alberta Conservatives Pass Climate Denial Resolution 12 to Celebrate CO2 Pollution | UCP pledges to abandon the province’s net zero targets, and remove the designation of CO2 as a pollutant.
Alberta’s United Conservative Party has passed a resolution to rebrand carbon dioxide—the chief gas whose overabundance in Earth’s atmosphere is causing the climate emergency—in a brazen display of climate science denial that harkens back to the 1990s fossil fuel industry playbook. Resolution 12, wh...
My lord, these people are idiots...
They already said Conservatives, it’s in the title.
How is actively poisoning the entire planet not an act of war by conservative death cultists?
At what point does a government need to put its citizens in so much danger that the latter realizes this is class warfare?
A significant part of the Alberta electorate cheers this loudly. They are noticing exactly the things they want to notice, unfortunately.
Too bad science doesnt care how we classify things. CO2.will do what it does no matter what you say it is.
Congrats. Seriously, it takes a very special kind of cultivated idiocy to fucking celebrate carbon dioxide in fucking 2024
Christ. What fucking maroons.
Yeah, we almost voted these guys out a year ago. BC just had the NDPs come back onto power and I am hoping the same thing happens here in a few years. These conservatives are by for the worst politicians we have ever had and many Albertans know it.
And far too many are okay with it. I met a former Albertan who unironically said we need more CO2 in the atmosphere.
Goddamn Alberta. You're taking away all the wrong lessons from US politics
It’s Texas without the guns
They have guns, too. Thankfully firearms are federally regulated.
Former Albertan here. One of the big reasons I bought and EV was specifically to extend a clear middle finger that shithole wanna-be Mini-MAGA government. Alberta as a place is great, as a people, eh.. needs a bit of work, but as a legislative assembly, it's essential Mordor with coal-rolling orcs.
Fuck 'em.
Sounds like Florida
Maybe have the UCP leaders celebrate CO2 by crowding into a sealed room pumped full of this harmless non pollutant.
In a few months again: pray for our wildfires!
The US in 3-days: “Hold my beer.”
"It's what plants crave" I've heard before. While true, global warming makes it harder for human sustainability. "Preserving our way of very specific economic domination for a few extra quarters" loses our way of life and sustainable economic opportunity.
"We must prioritize policies that protect our economy and our way of life. CO2 is an essential nutrient for mass, driving growth and boosting plant production. According to the CO2 Coalition, higher CO2 levels have led to healthier crops and improved food security worldwide,” said a UCP member speaking in favour of the policy who cited the notorious CO2 Coalition.
Reminds me of the joke where 100% of people who consumed H2O die.

Well, that is the core of conservatism (the first bit).
The flaming leopards are going to become obese.
Alberta really is an F-A-R-T
