If Canadians all died (including aboriginals,) and Canada was to revert to a prehuman history wilderness, (and you could somehow keep everyone else in the world from moving in) global greenhouse gas emissions would be reduced by about 5%.

Given that over 70% of future gas emissions are scheduled to come from third world countries where abject poverty needs to be eliminated, how will reducing working hours have any impact on climate change in any truly significant way?

Another concern is that people who have too much time on their hands are going to recreate more. I know that I am more prone to producing greenhouse gas emissions recreating than working.

I am not so sure this is well thought out from a climate change perspective.
