The new Canada's Changing Climate Report 2026 is a sobering read. Even if greenhouse gas emissions stopped tomorrow, the warming / impacts are locked in for centuries. I was a lead author for Ch 8 on extremes - lots of uncertainty. Please at least read the summary: www.canada.ca/content/dam/...

So disappointing. Dismantling Canada’s climate plan to meet the demands of a reckless premier and rich oil & gas companies not only increases our emissions, it undermines our competiveness as the clean energy transition accelerates - and it leaves our kids to pay the price.
