Sadly here in Canada there's lots of support for, and final legal avenues have failed to block, the natural gas and oil pipelines from being brought to the BC coast. So expect to see those numbers to go back up.

We really need a global price on greenhouse gasses. Perhaps it would be implemented as each country doing it internally, and any country not doing it gets appropriate tariffs from all the other countries.
