Did you know that most young people in Canada feel negative climate emotions?
In our new cross-sectional national study, we found 95% of young people feel worry and 88% feel some hopelessness. These results show why climate action & climate-emotion support are so critical.

I've never seen such a crass climate change signal. A heatwave up to 10C hotter because of our burning of fossil fuels hit Central Asia last month. And this is only now, with just under 1.5C global warming. www.worldweatherattribution.org/extraordinar...
