We're going to have to figure out how we're going to respond. We have to adapt to things that are happening. We also have to take the strong steps necessary to mitigate what's causing climate change.
In our jurisdiction, the changes that we know are there didn't start in the Northwest Territories; they came from somewhere else. As Canadians, we have to do our part in the global scheme of things to manage the effect of climate change. Things like rain patterns, droughts, and snow patterns are changing. Rain comes in a deluge and then it's gone. We have invasive species coming north. B.C. has already struggled with the pine beetle.
There's a whole range of issues that are going to require us, as a country and as individual jurisdictions, to put our heads together. The western premiers have found that out. Provinces and states found that out when they formed their own climate groups to deal with climate change. We're going to have to do this together.
