And then, on Thursday, we learned that Canada made no progress cutting climate pollution last year. The Canadian Climate Institute (CCI) announced that emissions had “flatlined” and declared our 2030 climate target “out of reach.” More ominously, the think tank concluded that progress is “fragile and slipping,” and the underlying momentum is “going the wrong way.”Has Canada bent the curve on climate pollution? The Canadian Climate Institute has declared our 2030 climate target 'out of reach' and, more ominously, concluded that progress is 'fragile and slipping,' and the underlying momentum is 'going the wrong way.' The green lines show the ever-steepening task, and the black line tracks growth and reductions in climate pollution. The optimistic read on that chart is that climate pollution has been cut down since the high in 2005.
