This made the news headlines, and landed in my inbox from the WWF:
Oh Canada! Our Country Earns Failing Grade on Climate Change Action
For the first time, Canada has taken over last place from the United States in this years G8 Climate Scorecard rankings! This comes just as the G8 nations are set to meet next week in Italy in an effort to find solutions to the world's main issues, including climate change.
According to the report, developed by WWF and the global insurance company Allianz, the United States rose in the rankings due to recent actions taken by the Obama administration on green energy and vehicle fuel efficiency. Canada ended up at the bottom of the pack because our greenhouse gas emissions are not only still increasing, thanks in large part to the expansion of the tar sands, but also because we lack a credible plan to reduce emissions in the future.
