No.....it matters now, but his suggestions that the "world" sees Canada as some dastardly dooshbag on the issue is beyond absurd. If they are mad at the emission makers...we would be about 15th on that list. His disingenuous BS doesn't help anything or anybody.

I have no problem with reducing ghg, as long as its done in concert with everyone else so that it actually makes a difference and in a way that doesn't decimate the energy industry as we know it.

Its like cap and trade....what the hell is that going to do to actually reduce emissions? Nothing. Zero. It will, however, put money in government coffers. But it looks like we are some sort of "leader" in the fight...while doing nothing to affect actual change. So how is anyone getting ahead in that scenario other than the government?
