Shale gas and climate targets

23 Jul 2010

The B.C. government seeks to reduce provincial greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions 33% below their 2007 level by 2020. By 2050, it has committed to emissions that are 80% below their 2007 level. While pursuing these GHG emission targets, the government continues to promote the exploitation of highly valuable provincial natural gas resources in spite of the challenges this strategy creates for its GHG objectives.
