A scientific review prepared for a U.S. government report on climate change forcefully asserts human activity is changing the global climate and the U.S. is already feeling the effects.
Scientists leaked the report to the New York Times fearing the Trump Administration wouldn’t make the report public because it contradicts the president’s contention that climate change isn’t real.
Environmentalist David Suzuki argues corporations are not being run by people who deliberately go out of their way to destroy the environment but they’re hamstrung by being under pressure to make a profit each quarter and elected politicians are worried about the next election and not alientating voters before then.
Suzuki is calling on the Canadian Senate to stand up for the environment because senators don’t have to worry about getting re-elected or fired.
