It simply perpetuates the crisis." https://environmentaldefence.ca/2024/05/15/why-we-must-talk-about-climate-change-when-things-are-on-fire/

"Over the last four years, the federal government’s total financial support to the oil and gas industry was at least $65 billion. That level of support could have fully funded every major wind and solar project in Canada from 2019-2021 twelve times over. It is ten times what the government has invested in adaptation since 2015." https://environmentaldefence.ca/2024/03/27/as-the-climate-crisis-worsens-the-federal-government-in-canada-continues-to-give-billions-in-funding-for-fossil-fuels/
