are dire.A follow-up article is needed to highlight exactly which parts of “human activity” are contributing most to the problem, where policy needs to change in Canada, the U.S. and globally , and where small efforts by individuals can actually make a positive difference. I suspect the latter is sadly minimal compared with corporate and policy impacts, and the effect of Canada’s efforts as a whole is minimal compared with the countervailing winds coming from the U.S.
