This is the government of Canada’s scientific finding.
It is true.
It is also a terrible message. Here’s what’s also true:
Every tenth of a degree of global warming matters.
Every fraction of temperature rise we avoid saves lives, reduces disease, food and water shortages, disasters.
That means:
Every wind turbine and solar panel deployed
Every heat pump installed
Every energy efficiency retrofit
Every electric bus and vehicle
Every job created from all these things…
It all matters! It all counts.
But so do new pipelines, the LNG boom, and the Carney government’s dismantling of Canada’s climate policy.
Folks, it’s not too late. We can change course and choose a healthy, safer future.
We just need the right kind of nation-building projects.
(And that includes engaging First Nations first.)
