Ross Belot : Mark Carney has said he's not Justin Trudeau , not being Justin Trudeau .

He says Carney has a chance to break the cycle of climate change in Canada .

Canada is not going to meet its 2030 Paris Agreement target of a 30 percent reduction in emissions below 2005 levels, he says.

Belot says he doesn't expect Carney to be radically different on continued fossil fuel production.

Ross Belot : If Carney wants to prove he’s not Justin Trudeau , he needs to start with honesty.

He says the only significant emissions reductions in Canada since 2005 came from phasing out coal in electricity generation in Ontario and Alberta .

Belot says the heavy lifting on climate action hasn’t even begun — and we’re already out of time for 2030 .
