Friends of Science Society: Quebec's decarbonization plan costly and unlikely
A new report from the Friends of Science Society states that Quebec's plan to reduce carbon emissions is expensive and unlikely to succeed. The report suggests Canada should "recarbonize" for national security.
CALGARY, AB – The Friends of Science Society has released a new report critical of Quebec's plan to cut carbon emissions. Titled "Quebec's Pursuit Of Decarbonization: A Difficult and Costly Challenge with Questionable Benefits," the report argues the plan is both expensive and unlikely to achieve its aims, with questionable benefits.
The organization further suggests that Canada should instead consider "recarbonizing" to enhance national security. The report questions the overall effectiveness and economic implications of policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions.
Friends of Science Society identifies itself as a non-profit organization that researches and reports on climate science issues. The group has previously voiced skepticism regarding climate action policies.
The report's release comes as Quebec and other regions globally strive to meet climate commitments. The society's findings offer a counterpoint to ongoing discussions about the costs and benefits of climate policy.
