Very important read from @mrabson.
Environment groups have been warned that saying #climatechange is real could be seen as partisan... why? Because Maxime Bernier (not a scientist) expressed doubts about it

Seriously. This should concern us all.
@TorontoStar just wrapped up a major #climatechange series that digs deep into the consequences for Canada of continued reliance on fossil fuels.
It’s called “Undeniable.”

Reporters fanned out across the country to explore how #climatechange affects different regions.
In Montreal, 66 people died in the first week of July 2018 during a suffocating heatwave. As @MarcoOved reported, heatwaves are expected to become more frequent and vulnerable communities are most likely to suffer the consequences. #ClimateEmergency

.@MoiraWelsh took us to the east coast where sea level rise and warmer ocean temps, are speeding up the erosion of Prince Edward Island’s shoreline. Over the next 90 years, 1,000 homes are at risk. #ClimateEmergency projects.thestar.com/climate-change…
In the North the #ClimateCrisis has already taken hold. In Nunavut, melting permafrost and sea ice are a having profound and wide ranging impacts on communities — @KenyonWallace wrote all about it. projects.thestar.com/climate-change…
I could keep going:
@EmmaMci wrote about worsening wildfire seasons in Alberta. In BC we looked at the potentially dire consequences of more frequent atmospheric rivers — torrential rainstorms that can cause flooding, landslides, and avalanches. It’s all tied to #climatechange
Facts are not partisan. #ClimateChange
