Do I think the result would be different if NZAB and CCI would be in the room?
100% maybe.
counterfactuals are hard though. we'll never know b/c it didn't happen
December 14, 2025 at 1:31 AM
and what of the NZAB? the CCI? did they have secret consultations that they are hiding?
December 13, 2025 at 6:40 PM
I mean there is definitely an element of that, cpc has a notorious divide (Bernier being within 2% of Scheer during the leadership race despite the massive difference in their leadership styles was crazy), but I think the LPC making concessions to Smith and the NZAB resignations speak volumes too.

I know you feel that the MOU is amazing 4D climate chess and that the revamped industrial carbon price will solve all, but you are pretty much alone in that opinion. Others that I respect (NZAB, CCI, Sara Hasting-Simon, among others) don't share that optomism.

Her resignation letter warns new policies could undo progress on emissions and sideline expert advice, leaving NZAB with just four members.

Here's what the two resigning members of the NZAB (including its co-chair) had to say.

Yeah man. I don't blame them. If the Canadian government has hired you as a climate expert to advise on the climate, and then they are straight-up ignoring you, then there's probably better uses of your time.

4/9 Established in 2021 to keep Canada on track, the NZAB is ringing alarm bells.

Abreu argues the government's pivot doesn't just stall momentum; it actively reverses "hard-earned progress," virtually guaranteeing that Canada will miss its future climate targets.

Respect. And gratitude to Simon for his work on NZAB.
Personal update -- I resigned from my role at Co-Chair of Canada's Net-Zero Advisory Body. The job had been a true honour and privilege, one of the highlights of my professional life. If you're interested in more of an explanation, see my Linked-In page.

NZAB, established in 2021 under the Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act “to engage w Canadians & give independent advice on how Canada can achieve goal of NZ GHG emissions by 2050." "I was not comfortable w the process becoming neglected or performative" under current Govt's priorities.

In fact, the very term “decarbonized oil and gas” has been denounced as a falsehood by the co-chair of the federal Net-Zero Advisory Body (NZAB), climate scientist Simon Donner.

i have not read anything in a good minute and it feels like i’ve lost my writing chops bc tell me why it took so long for me to cough up 500 words of #nzab i need to hit the books again

There is no such thing as "decarbonized oil"

Donner denounces notion of “decarbonized oil” as “Orwellian.” He is co-chair of the federal Net-Zero Advisory Body (NZAB) & climate scientist at UBC studying oceans & the intersection of climate science & policy

The decarbonized doublespeak may not be new but it was jarring coming from the mouth of our new PM, who has an undeniable grasp of the impacts of hydrocarbons but nevertheless talked about “decarboniz...
