Don't be fooled: Mike Hudema's support for Rachel Notley contradicted by other Greenpeace sentiments

Witness a real-time drama happening in Canada that is representative of the political absurdities unfolding in the Paris COP 21 process -- and that provides a stark example of establishment NGO politics versus the authentic climate justice movement.

Mike Hudema aligns Greenpeace Canada with the market-based NGOism of Forest Ethics to congratulate the fossil fuel enablers in the new NDP government of Premier Rachel Notely in Alberta. (See statements below, and Notely’s speech.)

Hudema happily welcomes all the trappings of a "major victory" of the Alberta government, while flanked on all sides by Big Oil. Imagine that, a government instituting carbon taxes and all manner of new market-based  "controls" on carbon, while "growing the economy" at the same time...and wait for it...allowing Tar Sands production to grow from 70 to 100 megatons (and the pipelines that go with it)...before putting a cap on it!

Going past 2.7 to 3.5 degrees and terminal ecological crisis? Abrupt systemic changes to our atmospheric and ocean climate systems? Well, heck, no need to take emergency measures! Instead, it appears we need more business-as-usual dressed up as real action -- packaged and encouraged by our very own "environmental movement."
