As I said before, that certainly isn t good enough. I just met two days ago with stakeholders on this issue including municipalities, environmentalists, insurance people and those who work in renewables. I ll be meeting with Canada s ministers of environment later this month and a key meeting on the subject of climate change will be held in December with provincial energy and environment ministers. I know more meetings are not the answer to our problems. But, when the ministers meet I am confident of their good will and their good intentions for our environment.
Nobody can afford to walk away from that room with a shrug.
The stakes are way too high. We ignore global warming at our peril. This is a now problem. It demands a now response. This doesn t mean nothing has been done.
