Mark Carney, 'Mr Net-Zero-Banker' himself, now uses oil, gas to make Canada an Energy SuperPower...
Once upon a time, he was Governor of The Bank of England, and was so passionate about saving the planet, he set up a cartel of bankers called 'The Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero' (GFANZ).
Since 2021 this was the black hole sucking in national energy policies.
At one point, all the bankers in GFANZ cumulatively managed $130 trillion dollars worth of assets - that's trillion with a T - meaning it was so large it was five times bigger than the US economy.
As if that wasn't bad enough, they were in cahoots with the UN and were essentially acting like a quasi world government, setting targets and rules and bossing democracies around by boycotting loans to legal oil and gas companies.
GFANZ were eventually neutered by 19 Republican States in the US who fired off legal anti-trust and fiduciary duty salvos.
The new Mark Carney seems to find Donald Trump more Frightening than Climate Change
Never mind about the sixth mass extinction, Mark Carney now wants Canada to dig up more oil and gas so they don't have to buy it from the US.
What matters is not whether his great grandchildren will bake in a catastrophe - but whether he can win a trade war with Donald Trump and stop him stealing Alberta. Thanks to @NetZeroWatch
Mark Carney's 'Conversion' from Eco Warrior to Oil and Gas Championby Johnathon Leake
Once considered the Bank of England's greenest-ever governor, Mark Carney has seemingly undergone a Damascene conversion.
During his time at Threadneedle Street, he called on the world to leave 80pc of oil and gas in the ground.
But now, as Canada's new prime minister, he wants to pump as much as he can to protect the country's economy from Donald Trump's trade war.
Canada is going to become an energy powerhouse, Carney told reporters last week…
Mark Carney was dropped in as Prime Minister in mid-March, but facing an election, the first bill he signed was to kill off the carbon tax - something the opposition leader, Pierre Poilievre, was campaigning heavily on.
Meanwhile, Alberta, the energy rich "engine" of Canada, was talking about seceding if he won, fed up with all the carbon rules and "Liberal neglect".
But suddenly Carney went on to promise to build oil and gas pipelines, set up LNG export terminals and undo the restrictions on carbon dioxide emissions.
All the Trump talk of Canada becoming the 51st State and the imposition of tariffs may have slayed their carbon tax, and triggered new gas pipes and ports for Canada.
UPDATE: This is not a case of Trump Derangement Syndrome - Trump is a real threat (to Canada's poncy Green Delusion)
Carney is a smart guy (he's selfish, serving the UN-banker-blob, but he's not stupid).
Trump has dropped the tariff bomb on Canada's economy - he sees the weakness in the Canadian position and has upped the ante. Trump holds the cards.
Carney knows he has to make Canada more self-sufficient.
So paradoxically, Carney has to act like Trump, and not like a Greenie Banker, or Trump will be able to blow up Canada's economy and even split the country in half.
Anthony Albanese is not that smart.
Trump is about to point out how utterly dependent Australia is on the USA.
Amazing what Donald Trump can achieve - Canada to Expedite nation Building Pprojects to counter Trump by Nadine Yousif
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said his government will start pushing legislation that would fast-track ambitious national projects to boost Canada's economy, now faced with Donald Trump's tariffs.
Carney said his plan is to narrow down a list of so-called "nation building" projects - like pipelines, nuclear reactors and trade corridors - and create a framework in which the projects would be approved in under two years' time.
Apparently large gas pipelines are all OK now, just say the magic words:
UPDATE: Obviously the futile and useless "Carbon Capture" is just the marketing cover to hide that Mark Carney has just Flipped 180 degrees
Carney doesn't now, and probably never did give a damn about CO2 (he would have promoted nuclear power if he did).
Right now he is playing poker against Trump but needs some fakery to pretend this is not complete capitulation and the end of the green fantasy.
Carney is just putting out breadcrumbs for the green serfs, so they don't revolt.
Carney Open to New Canada Oil Pipeline tied to Carbon CaptureJune 3, 2025
Mark Carney said he sees opportunity for Canada to build a new pipeline to ship more oil to foreign markets, if it's tied to billions in green investments to reduce the industry's environmental footprint.
Carney said Canada still aims to ease trade tensions with US President Donald Trump, but in the meantime it must scrap internal trade barriers and build national-scale projects in order to take matters "very much into our own hands."
Though the Bloomberg team that wrote carbon capture in the headline did not mention it in the story.
The US is the worlds top producer of oil at the moment, with 44 billion barrels of oil in reserve.
Amazingly Canada has four times as much - or 171 billion barrels of oil in recoverable reserves, says the Telegraph.
It's amazing how stupid rich countries can be - to leave, as Alberta's premier says,
Speaking of stupid, perhaps the greatest and saddest irony is that Mark Carney once was the green-extreme Governor of the Bank of England.
And while there, he helped tie the UK down in carbon markets and energy transitions that still cripple their economy...
Can Trump 'save the UK too'...?
