Consider This Sentence
The following sentence occurs in The Toronto Star on Apple News. “Prime Minister Mark Carney declined to endorse Canada’s greenhouse gas targets under the Paris Agreement on Thursday, stating his government is focused on ‘results, not objectives’ as he advocated for a ‘grand bargain’ that could see regulations changed to clear the way for a new export pipeline from Alberta’s oilsands—so long as a major project to reduce the industry's emissions gets built.”
Far too long. I will consult multiple sources for clarification.
My rewrite: “On Thursday, Mark Carney stated that on the subject of reducing greenhouse gas emissions his government seeks ‘results not objectives’ and will not pursue the targets that Canada committed to meet under the Paris Agreement. The Prime Minister and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith expressed support for a ‘grand bargain’ in which expanded pipeline capacity is greenlit in exchange for the building of carbon capture projects.”
