Nechako Lakes MLA John Rustad has been removed from the Liberal caucus, following online comments doubting climate change.
Earlier in the week, Rustad shared an already disproven post questioning the impacts of carbon emissions on climate change.
He also shared images of climate maps, saying a change in colour coding was used to increase concern over climate change.
But, it’s not the first time Rustad has shared comments questioning climate science.
In 2021, Rustad implied that carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is not a pollutant, and in 2019 he falsely claimed the NDP electric vehicle plan would cause the province to run out of electricity.
Rustad will stay on as an independent MLA, with the option to seek membership in another party if he so chooses.
