Hug support for climate action

Over the vacation more than one billion people took part in the World Wildlife Fund's Earth Hour initiative. That is why it is incongruous, said the World Wildlife Fund's that the G8 not put action against climate change on the table.

A group of campaigners sloped on Parliament Hill to ask G8 summit foreign ministers meeting in Chelsea to deliberate the agenda for June's G8 summit yesterday to talk about climate change.

"The success of Earth Hour year after year shows that Canadians want their government to put greening the economy on the table here at home and when it is a player on the world stage," said Keith Stewart, climate change director at WWF-Canada.

Paulette Roberge a spokesperson with WWF-Canada in Ottawa said "There seems to be a bit of disconnected between this huge groundswell of public support and what's happening at the political level."

"There is too much discussion and no consensus on how to approach it. It has to be discussed at a political level."

The WWF said Canada remainders one of the only countries yet to announce its contribution to help poor countries tackle climate change announced as part of the Copenhagen Accord.

• Hard science strongly supports the climate change
• The climate is changing rapidly
• Using fossil fuels for electricity and industries we are releasing billions of tons carbon dioxide which results in the climate change.
• Carbon dioxide trap the sunlight around the planet acting like a blanket
• By slowing the emission of carbon dioxide the rate of climate change can be reduced.
• We are not working enough to reduce the emission.

Impacts on climate change are:

• Globally land and sea temperatures are rising
• Droughts, wildfires and floods are increasing
• Glaciers and permafrost are melting
• North and south poles ice are breaking up and melting
• There is an increase in the number of hurricanes, cyclones and typhoons.
