Is Mark Carney Ghosting on Climate Change? 💀🌍

The Deets

Alright, listen up, because this is kinda sus. Prime Minister Mark Carney, who used to be all about that UN climate action life, is now catching heat. People are saying he's low-key cozying up to fossil fuels. Like, is he fr?

The G7 summit in Alberta was supposed to be the place to talk climate change, but apparently, it was kinda giving... nothing? Canada's literally turning into a 🔥 emoji with all these wildfires, so you'd think they'd be all over cutting emissions.

But here's the thing: Canada could be a whole clean tech boss. Think circular economy, eco-industrial parks – the works! China's already levelling up their economy with clean tech, leaving the US in the dust, while Canada is stuck in old ways of fossil fuels. Plus, relying on fossil fuels is risky business, like putting all your eggs in one basket, and forgetting about the basket.

Remember when banks were all "we stan sustainability" and joined the Net-Zero Banking Alliance? Yeah, some of them yeeted outta there faster than you can say "climate crisis." The article hints it might be related to old mate Donald Trump's pressure. Seems sus, right?

During the G7 summit, Trump dipped early. Also, there were a bunch of bilateral meetings, including meetings between Prime Minister Carney and President Macron (France), Prime Minister Meloni (Italy), and Prime Minister Ishiba (Japan). They discussed economic relations, climate change, the war in Ukraine, the Middle East, migration, and security partnerships. Meanwhile, protestors were making noise in Calgary and Banff about various issues, including the invitation of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza.

Basically, the whole situation is giving mixed signals. Is Prime Minister Carney actually serious about climate action, or is he just saying words to keep up appearances? The jury's still out, but keep your eyes peeled, fam. This could get spicy.
