LNG is just another climate killer: Stop the nonsense about the Goldboro proposal – Nova Scotia Advocate: KJIPUKTUK (Halifax) – Iain Rankin is the Premier who says dealing
with climate change is at the top of his list. He featured it when his
government was sworn in, and he has repeated the promise.

The Premier also said recently that he supports building the Goldboro LNG project, even if that means the federal government forking out $1-billion in subsidies.
When questioned about that, he readily agreed that the project would
increase greenhouse gas emissions here in Nova Scotia, “but
internationally, it makes sense environmentally.” The theory being that
LNG “helps Germany get off coal.” As we know, the Premier continues,
“the reality is coal is the most carbon intensive fuel to be burned.”

That is a grotesquely misleading platitude perpetuated by the fossil
fuel industry, and repeated by our leaders- presumably because they find
it convenient.
