Under the UNFCC Canada is not responsible for the downstream combustion emissions of the fossil fuels we export. So we conveniently ignore them (as in Ksi Lisims Assessment and BC and fed announcements today), though those GHGs are more than Canada's territorial emissions to the global atmosphere.

BC Environment Minister Tamara Davidson and Energy Minister Adrian Dix have given the green light for the Ksi Lisims LNG Facility
Once operational, the plant will be the second largest LNG production facility in BC and may use natural gas to power the liquefaction process #bcpoli

It's not just weather. Work with foreign nationals is a BIG part of what NOAA does - from climate negotiations (UNFCC, IPCC, Montreal Protocol), ocean (biodiversity conservation, fisheries, species protections), to space (satellites, space launches, etc.).
By definition, numerical weather models require international data. The atmosphere knows no geopolitical boundaries: any model that begins and ends at its country’s border is unable to generate reliable predictions until after a weather system crosses its boundaries. Which defeats the purpose!
NOAA Employees Told to Pause Work With ‘Foreign Nationals’
An internal email obtained by WIRED shows that NOAA workers received orders to pause “ALL INTERNATIONAL ENGAGEMENTS.”

39 years ago, in May 1986, the threashold of 350 ppm, considered a 'safe' limit, was breached.
33 years ago, in May 1992, the Earth Summit led to the creation of the UNFCC (which organises the COPs). The concentration then was 359.99 ppm.

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) averaged nearly 430 ppm in April 2025 (new record high)
10 years ago April averaged about 404 ppm. Preliminary data from gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends/...
This isn't going away. The longer we wait to address climate change, the greater the impacts and the harder it becomes to solve
