Last week’s Canada’s Changing Climate Report is a call for faster action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and shift the economy to clean electricity, analysts say, after the government reported that average warming will reach 3.5° to 5°C by 2100 across Canada and more than 10°C in the Arctic.
It has been heartening to witness the degree of national unity as Canadians steel themselves for the current trade war and insist that our governments stand up to Trump.
