A proposal to stop labelling carbon dioxide as a pollutant and instead celebrate it as a "foundational nutrient for all life on Earth ” will be up for debate at the United Conservative Party’s annual general meeting in November .

Resolution flies in the face of the scientific consensus that carbon dioxide emissions created by humans burning fossil fuels is one of the primary drivers of global warming.

The rejection of science illustrated in this policy resolution and others related to COVID-19 vaccines is reflective of attitudes within the UCP base “to a considerable extent,” Young said. “Will we see the Government of Alberta adopt this as policy? No,” Young said. “Does this kind of thinking inform some of the policies that we do see them pursue? I think to a certain extent, they do.” Natasha Bulowski / Local Journalism Initiative / Canada’s National Observer .
