And yet, the man most responsible for the financialisation of CO2 at his time at the BoE and BIS, Carney, has just taken Canada from the grip of environmentalists to develop new pipelines from Alberta to both oceans, east and west. Thus using the Trump ‘ogre’ to create new markets for Alberta’s fossil fuels.

Strange how economic and political expediency overcomes even the best laid plans when push comes to shove.
