Despite recent meetings and summits involving some of the world’s top leaders and environmental ministers, it has been decided that greenhouse gases are not a top priority at the moment. Although there were plans to be set in motion at the beginning of 2010, they will be put off until the actions of other countries are assessed. The idea behind the stalled plans is to coordinate environmental actions with other nations in hopes of a collaborated effort toward positive climate change. The other issue is the lack of consensus among political parties in Canada as to what specific goals should be set and how they might be achieved. From what I gather, "What the government of Canada keeps saying is, 'We can't do anything on climate change because we have to wait for the Americans,"”, which is an accurate assessment of our current action plan to regulate greenhouse gases.
