    I work for the Canadian government. During an all-staff meeting for my department, our Deputy Minister said in front of God and everyone that he figured the carbon emissions were about the same between working from home and commuting to government offices. A couple months later he got promoted to be the Deputy Minister of Environment and Climate Change Canada.

    The Earth is doomed.

      The guy has only studied political science… Imagine if they put people with a background actually related to their ministry in place instead…

      Fucking hell, he’s been the DM of six different ministries since 2015… No wonder we keep receiving emails telling us a new DM is in charge, it’s a game of musical chair!

        Not who I was referring to, but he isn’t much better.
