The impacts of climate change are piling up faster and faster, hurting people around the world and costing Canada billions of dollars in damages from wildfires in the West to reduced seafood harvests in the East, says a new report from the world's top global warming research body.

"It's happening way faster, more severely and more widespread," said Sherilee Harper of the University of Alberta, one of the 330 authors of the summary report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, released Monday.The summary report, intended for policy-makers, makes for grim reading.

By 2080, the report predicts cumulative forestry losses from fire, pests and other climate-change factors could add up to $459 billion. In the North, melting permafrost and ice thaw will damage infrastructure and transportation networks, as has already happened with the rail line to Churchill, Man. Federal Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault said the report emphasizes how much has been learned since the panel began its work, as well as the need to move quickly.

Its to late, the 6th great extinction has begun and will end 90% of life on the planet in record time. About 2000 years. For perspective. The dinasaur extinction took about 32000 years.

Now that the COVID narrative is no longer selling, it’s back to Climate Change™.

Do you just cut and paste this every ten years?

Stop the bullshit

Can anyone even believe that is ran by trudeau..... weird

Bull crap. We are carbon neutral. Stop the government propaganda.

CTV = The COVID/Climate Change fear network.

Somebody tell Jason Kenney.

😂😂😂😂

Who give a flying truck ?

Ok I tried googling where to live in 30 years cuz of climate change. Can’t tell if west coast fires or east coast floodings… basically don’t know where to retire

Don't bother warning these clowns, they don't believe anything that may infringe on their privileged, arrogant little lives.

yawn yea right. its called a cycle, and its been happening for millions of years, warming and cooling. more fear!

Even grimmer- Conservatives don’t care.

Is this the replacement fear now that Covid isn't scary anymore?

First off climate change in Canada is not a concern, with our vast forest areas and clean oil and gas production were are not the problem. Until the big Caron producers start cleaning up their countries there won’t be change. All we are doing is taxing our country into poverty

Climate change and covid are the same They are real but they are over exaggerated in order create fear and make money No realaistic plan to replace fossil fuels other than to make it so expensive to use that you have no other choice but to turn in your cars and turn off your heat

Solve poverty then you solve climate.
