Tell the feds to cancel Canada’s next climate crime
Hello PAOV,
Right now we have an important opportunity to help save the climate from a huge proposed LNG terminal on Canada’s west coast.
The environmental review is nearly finished for Pacific NorthWest LNG near Prince Rupert, and now the federal government is asking for your input.
On the north coast of BC, the Malaysian state-owned company Petronas wants to build a massive LNG terminal directly on top of critical habitat for 88 per cent of the salmon in the Skeena River.
You couldn’t pick a worse place ecologically to build one of these things.
But no matter where it’s built, the project will lead to 11 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions, blowing BC’s emissions reduction targets and risking Canada’s goal of limiting the world’s warming to 1.5° Celsius.
The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency’s (CEAA) own report confirms that the emissions associated with Pacific NorthWest LNG are “high in magnitude, continuous, irreversible and global in extent.”
Please send a message to CEAA about Pacific NorthWest LNG and let federal decision-makers know that the damage these terminals will do to the climate is unacceptable. The deadline for public comments is March 11, 2016.

The colossal increase in greenhouse gas emissions associated with this project would undermine the work that Canadians are doing to limit our climate impact. With your help, we’ll make sure the federal government knows that dirty LNG projects like this one simply cannot go ahead!
