2023 is on pace to be the hottest year in Earth’s climate record and the list of climate-driven extreme weather events and other disasters is growing by the day. The human toll has been astonishing and promises to only get much worse as warming, driven by the highest concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere in at least 4 million years, continues to rise year after year.
The gap between the emissions cuts climate scientists warn must happen versus those our political and economic leaders are prepared to deliver, pushes us ever closer toward climate system tipping points and hostile climate regime changes humans haven’t had to endure since the end of the last ice age, almost 12,000 years ago.
This episode of Planet Haliburton focuses on the climate change risks to human health and the urgent need for emergency climate action, with Dr. Nell Thomas, a family doctor and climate activist resident in Haliburton County, Ontario.
