Elizabeth May, Saanich—Gulf Islands

Green
“Experts warn that key climate systems, like the Atlantic Ocean currents, are close to collapsing. The government and the Conservatives are still backing projects that hurt the climate. I want to know when the government will take action to stop this.”
Official Hansard

Madam Speaker, alarm bells are ringing of imminent global collapse of key climate systems, but the alarms are being drowned out by the cheering of Liberals and Conservatives for new and more climate-killing projects. Key experts say that there is a fifty-fifty chance of the collapse of the massive and complex Atlantic Ocean current system with devastating and catastrophic results. When will the government stop shutting off the alarms and try to act before we pass the tipping points?
