Breakdowns Centred: Petroleum Producers and Andrew Scheer

breakdowns centred: One of the main breakdowns centred on Article 6 which covers international accounting for climate pollution and credits between countries, according to National Observer. The Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers along with politicians like Jason Kenney and Andrew Scheer, had been making misleading suggestions that Article 6 could be used to give Canada credit for exports of LNG and other fossil fuels. The countries gathered in Madrid for COP25 were unable to agree on the main objectives of the negotiations and kicked the most important decisions down the road to next year's meeting in Glasgow, Scotland.A coalition of countries seeking higher ambition were blocked by a group of big polluters insisting on accounting tricks such as hot air credits, opposing help for nations suffering the impacts of climate change, and demanding that human rights protections get removed from the main sections of the agreement that COP25 was intended to resolve. The High Ambition Coalition includes island countries like the Marshall Islands which are threatened by rising sea levels as well as European countries which, just this week, dramatically strengthened their own climate plans. Lives are at risk here, Stiell told National Observer. Simon Stiell, a minister from Grenada who spoke for the coalition, put blame for COP's failure squarely on the United States, Brazil and Australia. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
