And, which countries/regions are the world’s highest emitters #CarbonEmissions? Reported 2022, but the emission numbers are 🤯 -- which contribute to #ExtremeWeather #wildfires

"Once heat trapping gases get into the atmosphere, the effects are global. Trapping the sun’s energy doesn’t stop at national borders."

"Carbon dioxide stays in the atmosphere for as much as 200 years or longer. So historic emissions matter."

International scientists examined #ExtremeWeather conditions, traced #ClimateFingerprints. Findings & root causes:

🚨Human-caused #ClimateChange doubled likelihood of tinderbox weather conditions that sparked Canada’s massive 2026 summer wildfires

🔥Historical emissions, esp. from largest carbon emitters of heat-trapping gases from the burning of coal, oil and gas

🔥Hotter and drier conditions are making fires burn more often, more intensely

"We're seeing a very worrying pattern with this government of [not only] increasing fossil fuel subsidies across a number of fronts, but the creation of new subsidies, new measures, new vehicles to transfer public dollars to the fossil fuels sector" ~ energy transition lead, ISD

"The government continues to put a huge amount of our money into projects that are fuelling the climate crisis" ~ Environmental Defence Canada
