I think I can sum up Stickman's position


1) Global emissions are all that matters, but Canada's emissions aren't global
2) Individual emissions don't matter, because apparently per capita emissions don't make up global emissions (lucky for Canada I guess)
3) even though individual emissions don't matter, it's lifestyle changes that are required
4) even though lifestyle choices are required, it's again, China's, and only China's emissions that matter, so Canadians don't need to make any changes
5) Canada should do something to help China make their lifestyle changes, but not by spending any money
6) Even if Canadians could make a difference via lifestyle changes, having a system in place to incentivize those choices, and fund initiatives that create those lifestyle changes is dumb

Corollary:
1) Standard rant about electric cars being worse than gas even though that is demonstrably untrue
2) A profound misunderstanding of equilibrium w.r.t. trees
3) something, something, Trudeau, something, something, virtue signaling

In short, he knows exactly how to solve the GHG emissions issue, except that he doesn't, and he is all in favour of a solution, provided it doesn't affect him in any way.
