So they never actually meant to hit those targets?

Amaize said another reason corporations may appear to be retreating on their climate targets is a phenomenon she calls “green-hushing.” That is, as a result of anti-greenwashing legislation such as amendments to Canada’s Competition Act under Bill C-59, some companies might be reluctant to tout their environmental measures for fear of being sued for false claims.

A prominent example is the Pathways Alliance, a consortium of Canada’s six biggest oilsands companies, which removed almost all content from its website and social media feeds in June in response to C-59.

Because it makes them more moeny and they realized the average person doesn’t give a shit so there’s no negative consequences.

Even your standard issue lib is at “do nothing because China exists, even though their per capita carbon footprint is 1/4 of Americans”.

Before: “China’s doing nothing, so we should do nothing too!”

Soon: “We should do nothing and leave all this green crap to China!”
