Mark Carney: Climate Tsar Builds Pipeline, Not Credibility
The article praises Carney's purported climate efforts, then casually mentions his agreement to a new pipeline in Canada set to bolster oil exports to Asia. This, from the man who co-chairs the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ), a group supposedly committed to decarbonizing the global economy. (One might wonder if 'Net Zero' now includes 'Net More Oil to Asia.') While environmental
groups and Indigenous communities condemn the project, the FT frames it as a done deal, barely pausing to acknowledge the stark contradiction. It's a reminder that for the global elite, climate policy often means 'do as I say, not as I build enormous fossil fuel infrastructure.' The optics are so bad, they're almost avant-garde.
