Brad Wall releases climate change action plan

Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall released his action plan to combat climate change Tuesday.

In Wall’s white paper he included 13 recommendations to address climate change.

This is Wall’s alternative to the federal government’s proposed carbon tax that Wall has been adamantly opposing. Wall doesn’t believe cap and trade and carbon taxes are the right action plan.

Part of what the provincial government wants is for the federal government to “redeploy” $2.65 billion from developing countries to fight greenhnouse gas emissions here instead.

Wall believes the federal government’s numbers show Saskatchewan is one of three provinces en route to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.

Consider small nuclear reactors, consider a federal nuclear regime as an alternative, match methane regulations with the US. #skpoli
