Fair point. To some degree sure, but it's not like having the rain forests to being with was under their control. Should the reward for not taking negative actions to protect an existing advantage/benefit/resource be the same as taking positive actions?
Canadians didn't plant all them trees.
With the permafrost example, it's almost completely out of our control and dictated by what the rest of the planet does, it's part of a feedback loop. I don't think Canada should be penalized for that. Imagine if the permafrost methane effect was greater than all of the human produced CO2 in Canada, we can't go to zero!
But I see your point.

I have no idea what you're trying to say here.
