Canadian carbon dioxide emissions: 1990 – 2000

Abstract: Recent atmospheric conferences in Berlin and Madrid have highlighted two major issues: first, the planet's atmospheric chemistry is undergoing radical and potentially dangerous changes resulting from the anthropomorphic emission of a variety of gases; and second, despite promises and treaty obligations, a number of countries (including Canada) are hindering efforts to stabilize these emissions at 1990 levels by the year 2000. An examination of data from the National Energy Board (NEB) of Canada (a governmental organization responsible for Canadian energy statistics) for carbon dioxide emissions from energy sources indicates why the Canadian stabilization target cannot be met: gross and per capita emissions are increasing, while emissions in terms of gross domestic product are showing minimal change.
