Making ethanol from corn is the least efficient use of farmland

So you agree that Canada's policy of shorting the world supply of natural gas will lead to reduced emisions in the short to medium term?

That's how Canada can best do our part?

[chuckChuck]

Where is it official policy that Canada is "shorting the world of natural gas"?

Gas is replacing coal in many parts of Canada and the US.

There is more discussion about LNG exports to Europe to make up for Russian supplies.

But Canada is number 6 in world production and number 5 in consumption and the rest is exported primarily to the US.

Coal accounts for nearly 75% of India's power generation and power plants account for over three-fourths of the over one billion tonnes of annual coal consumption.

The Indian Railways loaded 427 trains with coal on Thursday, the government said. That is higher than its commitment of 415 trains per day on an average, but still lower than the requirement of 453 per day.

Whatever Canada does to reduce ghg emissions is a drop in the bucket. Purely virtue signaling.
The places that matter arn't playing the game.

So the US doesn't matter? LOL

Renewables have overtaken coal.

Huh? Not According to the International Energy Agency.

India’s clean energy transition is rapidly underway, benefiting the entire world

This commentary was first published by The Times of India.

India’s announcement that it aims to reach net zero emissions by 2070 and to meet fifty percent of its electricity requirements from renewable energy sources by 2030 is a hugely significant moment for the global fight against climate change. India is pioneering a new model of economic development that could avoid the carbon-intensive approaches that many countries have pursued in the past – and provide a blueprint for other developing economies.....

India is world's 3rd largest consumer of electricity and world's 3rd largest renewable energy producer with 38% of energy capacity installed in the year 2020 (136 GW of 373 GW) coming from renewable sources.

So 237 gigawatts of new production in one year from fosil fuels. Probably 75% coal?

Canada produces 8.8 gigawatts from coal.
So they had 27x more new builds than we can ever shut down.

Did you miss this part from the IEA? Seems like it.
