We all need to do our part.

Comment on social media to show people like you that you worry about climate change. Knowing others share our concerns helps all of us feel connected to each other and feel more confident we can solve problems together. Start today, share this page on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter. Find tips for talking about climate change in the #TalkingClimate Handbook from Climate Outreach.[/vc_cta][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1601399538413{padding-top: 1px !important;padding-bottom: 1px !important;}”]

If Canada and the rest of the world does its part to reach those goals, and we can, the Earth’s energy system will eventually come back into balance and we will avoid dangerous global heating.

According to the world’s leading climate scientists, even global average warming of another half a degree or so puts the world at grave risk of even more extreme changes to our weather. Unfortunately, if we don’t get a handle on our energy and land use, humans and natural system could face additional warming of 3 degrees or more.

Climate scientist Kathryn Hayhow breaks down the situation like this:
