The Editor,
Re. “B.C. gov’t wants input on climate action” (Green Scene, The Tri-City News, Aug. 14).
In her latest column, Elaine Golds pointed out that the provincial government has been seeking public input for its climate action plan.
But global atmospheric warming is a global threat that requires a global solution.
It is timely, with Canada in the midst of a federal election, for voters to familiarize themselves with the climate action proposals of the federal political parties.
Whoever is the prime minister after Oct. 19 will be going to the next international climate treaty negotiation in December in Paris.
It is vitally important that an expeditious, equitable, and effective new climate treaty is concluded to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The positive contribution of the next federal government of Canada is essential.
Your vote can help to achieve this end.
D.B. Wilson, Port Moody
