Speaking of Trevor Tombe, he wrote an article for Maclean's that should be required reading for anyone who wants to justify blocking pipelines with greenhouse gas emissions.
Quote:
Blocking pipelines is therefore a very expensive means of lowering emissions, and far above the likely damages from a tonne of GHG emissions.
[...]
If we wanted to lower global emissions by the same amount as achieved by blocking all future Alberta export pipelines, we could do so more cheaply by putting a price on carbon.
