Canada is responsible for 1.6 percent of global emissions. This sounds small but we are the top emitter per capita at 21 tons per person per year. The global benchmark for a sustainable climate is less than two tons per person, per year. With this crisis at hand, we should study how society has successfully faced other threats to population health. For example, doctors responded to AIDS by doing more than treating individual patients.
Finally, there are co-benefits in taking action to solve complex problems. The AIDS response contributed to the empowerment of the LGBTQ community. It sparked a broader patient-rights movement. It highlighted the connection between public health and marginalization. The parameters of medical research shifted. Prior to AIDS, condoms were seen simply as a form of contraception. Now they are widely used to prevent sexually transmitted infections.
How about global arson gangs? Or Privilege Elites Climate fear mongers? Or something else ...I was a volunteer firefighter please explain 👇
Maybe we should study our successful handling of the Y2K crisis. Remember how well we managed that?
That makes no more sense than studying how we've successfully made pickles.
