Hurricane Dorian: Bahamas death toll expected to be 'staggering'

I know that for most people when Scientists talk about the grave risks of the climate crises it is too abstract, far away and in the future.
But it's not.
It real. It's here [Nova Scotia will get some damage as well]. It's now.
So, all of us need to wake up and make the needed lifestyle and value changes that will allow our kids to enjoy the same high quality of life that we oldies have.
When I started as a Green Party candidate in 2007 I was told that our issues were side issues and that we would never win any seats.
Well, sadly, our 'scare mongering' is now happening - besides, it was never about fear, it was about the courage to face reality and not live in our delusions.
But the good news is that we are WINNING seats across Canada - we hold the balance of power in BC and are the loyal opposition in PEI !
So, stay optimistic and full of courage and together, with ALL Canadians [human and non-human], we can and will take on the challenge of the climate crises together.
So, let's roll up our sleeves and get on with the job so we can avoid more headlines like this one:

About Me

Name: Gordon

Location: kars, ON, Canada

I am happily married Professional Engineer living in Kars: I have three daughters, taught High School Physics for most of my working life, and am now a beekeeper who he writes articles on the environment while working on the Board of the Canadian Association for the Club of Rome [an environmental think tank] to spread the word about how we live better AND protect our environment. I am a ‘seasoned’ politician, having worked on the Riding Association of the federal Greens here in Carleton and have been a candidate for the provincial Greens four times. My wife and I are committed to living sustainably and to that end have eliminated fossil fuels from our lives: we drive an electric car, heat/cool with geothermal energy and have our roof covered with PV panels. For us to ‘walk the talk’ is a vital step in enabling people to listen to our core belief: taking care of the Earth is the best way to care of ourselves, our families and our community.
