CLIMATE DISRUPTION AND GLOBAL SECURITY CITIZENS’ CLIMATE LOBBY CANADA’S EDITORIAL PACKET: April 22, 2015 Earth Day 2015: Global warming is real, human caused and poses a threat to global security. The solution is to cut emissions. The good news is pricing carbon will create jobs and save lives. Yet, climate change was not mentioned in the Conservative Government’s pre-election budget on April 21, 2015. Also missing in the budget is the $300 milllion Green Climate Fund pledged in November 2014 aimed at supporting projects, programs, policies and other activities to address climate change in developing countries. In December 2015, nations will gather in Paris, France, to share their plans for combatting climate disruption. During this election year, with a dose of political will, Canada can turn a corner, do our fair share to combat climate change and diminish terrorist threats.
