WATCH: Fake news Carney says Poilievre would 'let our planet burn'

Newly minted Liberal leader Mark Carney isn't wasting time when it comes to spreading fake news — following in the footsteps of Justin Trudeau and Steven Guilbeault.

During his victory speech on Sunday, Carney said, "Pierre Poilievre would let our planet burn. This is not leadership, it's ideology."

Audience members booed Poilievre.

Carney, a prominent figure in climate finance and former governor of the Bank of England and Bank of Canada, views achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions as both an urgent necessity and a significant economic opportunity.

He advocates for an expedited transition to net zero — similar to Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault.

Some say Carney's adherence to climate change and net zero ideology are a threat to Canada's oil and gas sector and economy. Carney has acknowledged the oil and gas sector’s economic importance while pushing for decarbonization.

Former U.K. Prime Minister Liz Truss has warned Canada about electing Carney prime minister.

"I strongly recommend not backing Mark Carney for his policies on net zero," she said in January. "It was disastrous for Britain. It would be disastrous for Canada."

Canada’s contribution to global CO2 emissions is approximately 1.5% — making Carney's "planet burn" comment ridiculous and fake.

Around 311 coal fired power plants under construction worldwide, rendering Canadian emissions tiny by comparison.

Pierre Poilievre and Canadian emissions will not cause the planet to burn.

Patrick Moore, a founding member of Greenpeace, has argued that Earth is in a relatively cold period compared to its geological past.

In a historical speech at the Ninth International Conference on Climate Change, he said, “I fear a global cooling,” suggesting that a warmer climate would be preferable for agriculture and life, and that “today, even in this interglacial period of the Pleistocene Ice Age, we are experiencing one of the coldest climates in the Earth’s history.”
