Frida Ghitis: People who don't understand Justin Trudeau's climate policies think it’s easy to dismantle them.

She says Liberals have cleverly side-stepped it, given that Trudeau is resigning and major Liberal leadership contenders are saying they’ll come up with new and improved policies to cut emissions.

A new report by the fiscally conservative Fraser Institute says it's impossible to hit Trudeau 's goal of having Canada achieve “net-zero” industrial greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 .

Ghitis says Canada will fall short of its net-zero target by 30% , while causing economic suffering.
