Climate Change Concerns: London, Ontario, January 12

There is some evidence that Canadians are cutting back on spending and reducing personal debt (which still sits at historic highs) because it has likely dawned on some that they are only one or two pay cheques away from the poor house.

Few realize, however, that we are only one or two bad crop years away from historically high food prices and shortages of some valuable commodities because of climate instability related to high carbon emissions, like those from our costly economic engine, the tar sands of Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Look outside. Do you see typical January weather where you live? Here in London, we’re experiencing another mild, wet winter. Yes, there will be some snow in our future, perhaps near future, but global warming is having its way with us.
