Climate costs
The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change was unusually blunt last week.
It warned that if governments don't act now, and stop spewing so many greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, the world could hit a temperature tipping point of 1.5 degrees Celsius warmer just 12 years from now.
That will result in irreversible changes and major eco-disasters, the report said.
The wake-up call from the IPCC comes as the federal Liberals' national carbon price and climate plan is under siege from a growing number of provincial governments. They argue that the cost to ordinary Canadians is too high.
