Rising sea levels, severe weather, and decreased freshwater supplies are the results of a rise in the average temperature of Earth.

Like a greenhouse, GHGs make the earth a more positive growing environment.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicts that Alberta will experience the most warming in Canada by the year 2099.

Canada is on track to meet its original targets under the Kyoto Protocol.

Alberta has the largest GHG output in Canada because of its oil industry and coal-fired plants.

The United States did not agree to join the Kyoto Protocol.

The B.C. government created a "carbon tax" on fossil fuels and used the money from that tax to fund other climate change initiatives.

Climate change will affect all regions of Canada in the same way.

Home furnaces and hot water heaters account for about six percent of Canada's GHG emissions.

The woodland caribou is now listed as a threatened species under the federal Species at Risk Act (SARA) because of GHGs.

The SARA includes prohibitions against killing, harming, harassing, and capturing species at risk.

If governments promote the use of grains or vegetables as an alternative to fossil fuels, it could have an effect on our food supply.

Canada had originally declined to be part of the Kyoto Protocol but changed its mind in 2006 when a Conservative government was elected.
