For decades the fossil fuel lobby has masterfully weakened, derailed, and outright blocked government climate policy. The fossil fuel lobby meddles with Canadian politics and inserts itself into international climate change politics and diplomacy. The biggest barrier to climate action in Canada is the oil and gas lobby.

Central to these questions is the role of fossil fuels, which have long been seen as the backbone of economic growth, but now threaten to interfere with international climate goals. In a July 2016 report , the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs described climate change as the “single biggest threat to development.”

The issue is that our banks, pension funds and insurance companies take our hard-earned money and heavily invest in fossil fuels. However, we have heard that the government wants to label fossil fuels as green under this new system.

“Natural gas”, also known as methane gas or fracked fossil gas, is a potent greenhouse gas that pollutes the environment and causes climate change when it is burned and when it escapes into the atmosphere during extraction, production, and transportation. For a long time, fossil gas was the cheapest way to heat homes.
