In what it acknowledged was a "huge task" given the scale and carbon intensity of its activities, the Anglo-Dutch conglomerate said it would aim to sell more low carbon products, reduce the CO2 intensity associated with all its activities, and work with its customers to mitigate remaining emissions from its products by 2050.

According to the report, the figure falls drastically short of the levels required to halt biodiversity loss, limit global warming to 1.5C, and achieve land degradation neutrality, with estimates suggesting $384bn is required annually by 2025 and $484bn is needed by 2030.

Squandering finite resources, creating extravagant amounts of waste, and the excessive release of carbon emissions is causing our planet to belch at the seams. Carbon in our atmosphere is 280 parts per million (ppm). Carbon in the atmosphere is 310 ppm. Carbon in the atmosphere is 310 ppm. Our reality.

As such, the crop yield potential for maize has decreased by six per cent, for wheat by three per cent, and for rice by nearly two per cent, compared to 1981-2010 levels. This gives us an opportunity to take a safer, healthier, low carbon path, but we have yet to do so.

And that is assuming the world can move on to a 2C global warming pathway. If the global economy stays on track for 3C of warming or worse, then climate resilience measures become even more important. We cannot expect nature to mop up all that carbon if it's too dry for the trees to grow.

And yet: Last year, the global average temperature was almost 1.5 degrees Celsius warmer than the pre-industrial average, due to the vast amounts of heat-trapping carbon dioxide that humans have added to the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels. How would disputes about the negative impacts of any geoengineering regime be adjudicated?

To me, this was a particularly silly question, as I recently finished writing an article on the future of fossil fuels and oil prices were actually negative for the first time in human history. The reason was obviously the global lockdown due to Corona, nonetheless a point was made. O boy, was I triggered.

Here are five questions that Canadians should ask when evaluating whether the party platforms provide the responsible, effective climate policies Canada needs: Does it cut carbon pollution—in Canada—in line with our Paris target? This may seem obvious, but it’s a question worth asking. Does it build on—rather than undo—progress to date?
