Original language of petition: English
Petition to the House of Commons
- Whereas the world currently is experiencing climate change which is only expected to worsen and this can lead to rising oceans, hotter weather, and the extinction of many species;
- Currently, this issue has caused argument and debate in Canada, which has resulted in the delay of the Trans mountain pipeline and has hurt interprovincial relations;
- This delay has also caused unemployment in Alberta, and a great deal of uncertainty;
- While this occurs, climate change worsens, and the world’s weather turns severe;
- A middle path solution must be created to reverse climate change as well as to continue economic growth, one that would give breathing room to allow a longer transition period to convert to alternative energy technologies while we not only reduce, but also reverse, the carbon footprint which we have left;
- This would allow us to make an immediate difference in the fight against climate change as well as continued economic development; and
- A worldwide effort would allow us to mitigate costs and be an achievable goal for other countries who struggle with being environmentally progressive while attaining economic development.
