Its not the councils mandate to deal with co2 emissions and what not. They should be running a city. It is the provincial and federal responsibility from above to set these policies, nation/province wide.

As for me put me in the boat of tired of how overblown this has become. This whole planet will burn up one day one way or another, economic growth and expansion of knowledge should be priorities. With it we can overcome everything, and if not then who the heck cares. Earth is not permanent, nor is life on earth, unless we get it of this rock permanently. Climate change has never destroyed the earth and it wont do it this time, life adapts, it does not matter if you vaporize the surface of the earth, life on earth will not be eliminated. Its a incredible machine and is designed to overcome and adapt to allot, especially minor climate fluctuations. We can adapt, time moves on. I would be more concerned with overpopulation in countries with dysfunctional societies/cultures that bring little to the table. (today).
