One of Canadaโ€™s top climate scientists – a Nobel-winning lead author on each of the last three reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change – has written an opinion piece in the Victoria Times Colonist, denouncing the BC New Democratic Party for its opposition to the BC carbonย tax.

Accusing the NDP of making โ€œdemonstrably false assertionsโ€ in its attack on the carbon tax, University of Victoria Professor Andrew Weaverย says:

โ€œThe NDPโ€™s so-called environmental platform is regressive and counter-productive. I hope our message to the world from the election is that political opportunism, gimmickry and short-sightedness doesnโ€™t work with B.C. voters; British Columbians truly care about the environment and intergenerationalย equity.โ€

Weaver is also the author of the excellent book,ย Keeping our Cool: Canada in a Warming World.
