Environment Minister Rebecca Schulz is in Azerbaijan for the COP29 international climate summit .

Alberta is engaged in a donnybrook with the Trudeau government over its incoming federal emissions cap on Canada ’s oil and gas industry.

The province says the federal limit will effectively cap production and is unconstitutional.

A new report by S&P Global Commodity Insights concludes that emissions per barrel from the Canadian oilsands are declining.

Since 2005 , emissions from the oilsands sector have increased by 142 per cent as production has climbed in Alberta .

Oilsands output could increase by about 400,000 barrels a day by the end of this decade .

It’s important to have a realistic discussion about what climate targets are achievable as the world consumes more energy.
