By Rochelle BakerLocal Journalism Initiative ReporterClimate critics are accusing the BC government of continuing to subsidize fossil fuel companies after announcing more funding to help heavy industry clean up carbon pollution. The province is “greenwashing” subsidies for oil and gas projects that offer little progress toward meeting BC’s climate targets but pose increasingly great risks to human health, Lem said. “The bottom line is wealthy fossil fuel billionaires do not need money back from the BC government to continue to subsidize an industry that's bad for our health,” said Lem. However, fossil fuel producers operating in northeastern BC’s Montney gas field got the lion’s share of the province’s clean industry funding. Raising the carbon pollution tax on industry alone also won’t help the province achieve its targets.
