Green Party Leader Elizabeth May said the Carney government is not serious about climate change. May, who supported Carney's budget in December, has since questioned the prime minister's word after accusing him of a climate policy flip-flop.

"If we're serious about emissions reduction, then we have to actually revisit some of the measures that have been eliminated since (Carney) took over," May told The Canadian Press.

"They're miles from hitting any of the Paris Agreement targets, and the prime minister did recommit to me on the floor of the House on Nov. 17 that this government is committed to the Paris Agreement and achieving its targets. So the emissions reduction update, the so-called climate competitiveness strategy — there's lots of highfalutin titles for what boils down to...(no) climate plan.""

Without adding coal to the mix, China doesn't have a reliable and independent way of increasing its energy generation to the necessary levels. However, China is also essentially the producer of all solar photovoltaics on Earth, the biggest producer of wind turbines and nuclear reactors, and it's currently building the largest hydro plant on Earth. China is also the main supplier of electric batteries enabling electrification of buses and cars, and pioneers the installation of ultra high voltage electric transmission.

I've been to China and visited the yellow river, I don't know what you mean by the smell. I live in Spain, you should visit the Tajo river going through Toledo and smell it before you judge China. If you're from the US you could visit Flint.
