Canada's Climate Change Record is Abysmal, Study Says

Canada has one of the lowest population densities in the world, and a vast area north of the highly-populated zone along the U.S./Canada border is mostly unspoilt wilderness. The country's flag, emblazoned with a giant red maple leaf, symbolically hat tips Mother Nature. Even a snippet of the country's national anthem goes so far to call for the preservation of Canada's "glorious" land:
"Oh, Canada...keep our land glorious and free!"
And yet, Canada, out of all the industrialized countries in the world, is the absolute worst at combating climate change and protecting the very environment it holds in such high esteem.
At least, according to a new study by the German non-profit advocacy group Germanwatch, which ranked Canada last out of all industrialized countries in its Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI), a composite measure used to gage a country's effort toward the prevention of current and future contributions to climate change.
