http://dailycaller.com/2017/11/03/bureaucrats-annoyed-us-emissions-levels-are-plummeting-despite-leaving-paris-deal/Diplomats are confused and irritated that the U.S. has made more ground reducing emission levels than Canada, despite President Donald Trump’s decision to leave the Paris agreement.
“It’s a bit of a paradox, here,” Angel Gurria, secretary-general of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), told reporters Wednesday. The U.S. is pummeling Canada on the issue, he added, even though the latter has made ratcheting down fuel emissions a top priority.
“In Canada, you have a situation where you have a very strong political will to reduce, but effectively it has not gone on the planned road,” Gurria noted. Canada’s emissions should have fallen 17 percent from 2005 levels, he added, but they dropped only 2 percent.
