What is your suggestion?

Someone (probably a conservative, I think it was a crazy farmer) said that if we could sell natural gas to China to replace their coal, it would reduce China's emissions by 30%. That wouldn't cost Canada anything, and would make us money and create jobs. That would probably reduce global emissions 20x more then the 0.5% reduction we can get by reducing our per Capita Canadian emissions. Ya ya, natal gas bad, fossil fuel bad, but natural gas big reduction in emissions compared to coal. The goal is reducing global emissions.
