Going back a few more years, a polar vortex in January 2014 put much of the eastern half of the country into extreme cold, dropping temperatures 20 to 35 degrees Fahrenheit below average. To name a severe example, the wind chill temperature fell to -63 degrees F in Grand Marais, Minnesota. Where do we go from here?

For Canada’s major oil and gas producers, Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is a get-out-of-jail-free card, which allows them to keep on polluting while appearing as though they are taking the threat of climate change seriously. Implementing CCS technology, however, on a commercial scale has proven complex and costly. Want proof?
