In this week’s episode of The Other Side of the Story, learn how Canada’s virtue signaling government failed its citizens by enabling destructive energy policies to appease aggressive and uninformed climate crusaders, something America must never do! Learn what would really happen if President Biden’s new greenhouse gas emissions target for the U.S.—a reduction by 50 to 52% below 2005 levels by 2030 and the attainment of “net-zero” by 2050—is ever enabled.
Dr. Jay Lehr and Tom Harris are joined by Bob Lyman, the ICSC-Canada Economics and Policy Advisor, to discuss how the destruction of Canada’s economy is a preview of what is in store for the United States should we, too, bow to uninformed green activists.
Mr. Lyman spent 37 years in the Canadian public service as an economist and policy advisor and served as a Canadian diplomat with postings in Caracas, Venezuela, and Washington, D.C. In the late 1980s, Mr. Lyman was the Senior Director of Energy Policy when climate change issues first arose and were the first federal co-chair of the Federal-Provincial Committee on Climate Change. He was also the Director-General, Environmental Affairs, in Transport Canada from 2002 to 2006, leading the analysis and policy development concerning emissions reduction in the transport sector, development and implementation of climate programs, and promotion of technology development to reduce emissions in that sector.
