Environmental economist tells trial Canada has limited power to alter climate change
David Anthoff testified that Canada has limited power to change its domestic climate because other countries’ decisions largely determine climate change.
Anthoff, a University of California, Berkeley professor, was the federal government’s first witness in the Vancouver trial.
Fifteen youth argue that federal legislation violates their constitutional rights by allowing greenhouse gas emissions to continue.
Anthoff said Canada produces about 1.4 percent of global emissions and emphasized that coordinated efforts with other countries could increase its influence.
