Dec 7, 2023 · The science of climate change is clear: the primary driver is greenhouse gas emissions from the production and combustion of fossil fuels. Canada—and countries around the world—need to move aggressively to largely eliminate the unabated combustion of fossil fuels over the period between now and 2050.

May 29, 2024 · Published: May 29, 2024 5:35pm EDT. The science is clear: the planet is warming at an alarming rate and we need to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions. For decades, effective actions have lagged...
Nov 8, 2023 · Canada is among a group of top fossil fuel-producing countries on pace to extract more oil and gas than would be consistent with agreed-upon targets designed to limit global warming, according...
Sep 22, 2024 · It’s enmeshed in a web of military deals and undermines global cooperation on the shared common threat to all life on earth: climate change. Oil is also one of the world's most volatile ...

The projections come at a particularly lucrative time for the industry; the five largest companies that operate in Canada's oilsands made about $35 billion in profits in 2022. But the models should be a warning for many oil and gas companies, climate experts say, calling into question the future of fossil fuel use and production in Canada. On the o...
The report shows that "we need to be careful, especially where public money is dedicated. We need to ensure that it goes to projects that are going to be competitive in the long term," said Jan Gorski, director of the oil and gas program at the Pembina Institute, an energy think-tank. "And not every project will be competitive. Some of those projec...
The CER's scenarios show electricity use increasing to power all the electric cars, building heating systems and other clean technologies that will replace fossil fuels in the lives of Canadians. And that new electricity will come from cleaner sources — with wind energy growing nearly seven to nine times its current levels by 2050. That's not surpr...
May 31, 2024 · We've already transitioned much of our home energy use away from oil. And as climate change pushes us to accelerate that transition, we're developing new technologies that will help the world...
Apr 4, 2022 · The next few years are critical. In the scenarios we assessed, limiting warming to around 1.5°C (2.7°F) requires global greenhouse gas emissions to peak before 2025 at the latest, and be reduced by 43% by 2030; at the same time, methane would also need to be reduced by about a third.
