The Ontario government’s post-truth war on climate change – Environmental Defence
Since gaining office a year and a half ago, the Ontario government has taken a post-truth approach to climate change: they say what they want you to believe, rather than what experts agree to be true.
Specifically, the government claims to have a real plan to fight climate change that proves you can fight it without a price on carbon. However, experts agree:
the plan is not based on sound evidence.
the plan will not meet Ontario’s weak targets to reduce carbon pollution;
the plan actually does contain an element of carbon pricing (for large polluters).
