Link of the Day: Canada’s Action on Climate Change

Following up on yesterday’s link, it seems appropriate to take a look at what the government’s actually doing to deal with climate change. As I’ve previously mentioned, the answer is apparently “not a whole lot.” But if you want to hear their side of the story, then this is the source.

“Climate change is a global problem that requires real solutions,” the government tells us. “That’s why the Government of Canada supports an aggressive approach to achieve real environmental and economic benefits for all Canadians.

“The causes of climate change and its impacts on the environment and human health are now more understood. Canada is a vast country with a diverse climate, which makes the impacts of climate change all the more important.

“The Government of Canada supports efforts to protect the environment by developing policies and programs, conducting scientific research, and working with other government departments, the provinces, territories and international partners in the fight against climate change.”

Promising initiatives? All talk and no action? Take a look at the site and judge for yourself.
