British Columbians might be surprised to learn they are among the world’s most aggressive extractors of climate-destabilizing fossil fuels, per capita — and major projects that are already being built aim to make the province’s contribution much worse

The CO2 extractors: British Columbians are among world's most aggressive

They rocketed past the Americans decades ago. Now they are set to blow past even the Saudis with a massive new LNG industry – in charts.
Since then, British Columbians have aggressively increased fossil fuel extraction – currently digging up 41 tCO2 per capita. And just look how fast they have been bending their extraction curve upwards in recent decades. As the climate crisis keeps getting worse, British Columbians keep increasing the amount of the problem they are pulling out of the ground. They are choosing, decade after decade, to keep accelerating away from climate stability that can only come with net-zero fossil fuel CO2. That’s the green line at the bottom of the chart
