Since then, the global population has doubled again, and the trend is expected to continue until the population reaches its peak of 10.5 billion around 2085.&nbsp; The need for cooperation in managing finite and renewable resources has never been greater.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXfEK3qq9C3fNlkvwrlb1uVBQJ09y60bPMog7AWlusZ-YC1uDqliZlBN0geTYlFDBSVHgyX_AcXPAPx6eAUyIv76HE2sOvZ-TWtUrwijqRu91yEEkfwSQaT2l20pTlrs6Sk7uvYd6jN8hnYcVv84lMs?key=eID-45sOFtE5vQHttMbBDg\" alt=\"Average Life Expectancy Graph\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But, contrary to 100 years of work by thousands of the world\u2019s best climate scientists, Trump proclaimed that climate change is a hoax and cancelled environmental initiatives and regulations. He will soon be gone, but he has set mitigation efforts back by at least a decade, meaning future efforts will need to be less gradual and more extreme.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"float: left; margin-right: 14px;\"><strong><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45658\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Prime Minister Carney is open to cooperation on practical solutions. He is open to building pipelines to help share \u201cdecarbonized\u201d oil and gas with less fortunate counties that will need it until global reserves are finally depleted in about 50 years. That is an example of mutually beneficial flexibility and compromise that has been missing. It&#8217;s now up to Alberta and the oil and gas industry to show they are also open to practical solutions.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Canada\u2019s oil is different. We have a bit of light oil that can just be pumped out of the ground and shipped, but 90% of our oil comes from heavy bitumen that is melted by heat from burning large quantities of natural gas before it can be pumped out of the ground and shipped. So, our oil makes carbon emissions twice, once when it is produced and again when it is used. That\u2019s the main reason Canada is among the world\u2019s top ten sources of total carbon emissions, and on a per capita basis.&nbsp; Emissions from Alberta oil production increased 70% from 2005 to 2023, negating reductions from all other sources.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The oil production process can be \u201cdecarbonized\u201d with expensive and somewhat questionable carbon capture and storage equipment. But can such a facility capture and store (securely without leaking) emissions from producing 1.5 billion barrels per year for 40 years? Alternatively, emissions from production can be \u201ctotally eliminated\u201d (rather than captured and stored) by replacing the natural gas burned to heat bitumen with heat from Alberta\u2019s abundant geothermal sources, using the same drilling and piping technology as carbon capture and storage, and indeed by the oil production itself. That option is available now from Eavor-Loop in Calgary and Quaise Energy in Houston. Geothermal has a higher up-front cost but significantly lower operating costs, leaving 1.6 trillion cubic feet of natural gas available for sale to countries that need it each year over the 40-year operational period.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both solutions cost big money, but how does that compare with the impact of droughts on food costs, the costs of over 150 wildfires in Canada almost EVERY YEAR now with ongoing medical costs from excessive heat and smoke, evacuating and resettling 30,000 people, the loss of valuable forest products, the subsequent replacement of hundreds of homes and damaged infrastructure? How much did our emissions contribute to the loss of 15,000 homes and structures in LA last year? The problem is the money comes out of different pockets at different times, but Carney can help resolve those financing issues.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is just one example of the urgent need for flexibility, compromise, and cooperation in everything we do everywhere at both a domestic and international level. We can\u2019t change the past, but we can change the future.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXfcy6embqXdwyISW4E3_UHGRWs0zHA9ed7gpm7_gcj1lGTMizqBGzi6HcSfLOilMEHd2r_HqVNtFMRPznQlaRSfXMxTQ1_TJqeRfc2MTsAPEFs1W4EqtGR8-K58MFVPfSWZk5PeOob_WVt5OwhwETU?key=eID-45sOFtE5vQHttMbBDg\" alt=\"Life Expectancy \u2014 Our World in Data\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXcKFTnXPFHVBfN1pf3W_MVg3Ok3NYswUkS2Pf-RnzxrcsiX4DEzmfp2kBwStMMeyBaoRFLhLJWvfk2PurrjrFTNjbRQqh4-uH3bXKyPRn_ePB1owMnd-CJpVPKXq2nD_rWKN2gla21nO-YMP0Ox8UE?key=eID-45sOFtE5vQHttMbBDg\" alt=\"Life Expectancy Worldwide Mapped (2000-2022) -
