WE CAN’t AFFOrD tHE COst OF CArBON

B.C. and Alberta are engaged in a carbon trading scheme of sorts, to no one’s advantage.

Alberta sends carbon-rich bitumen to B.C. that (ultimately) contributes to global warming.

Global warming produces long, hot, dry summers, when B.C.’s forests ignite.

It hurts to think that the new normal for our children may be smoky summer skies, breathing masks and the eerie light of an orange sun. Clearly, it’s time for change. The cost of our reliance on fossil fuels has simply become too great a price to pay. Mike Ward, Duncan, B.C.
