Despite concerns about the increase in domestic carbon pollution that will result from this development, the February 2014 provincial speech from the throne claimed that exporting LNG is the “greatest single step British Columbia can take to fight climate change.” This infographic illustrates new research by the Pembina Institute and the Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions that examines the role of natural gas in the transition to a carbon-constrained world.
