Prime Minister Trudeau met with the country\u2019s premiers \u2014 besides those of Newfoundland and Labrador and the Northwest Territories \u2014 at the Canadian Museum of Nature Monday night to discuss a plan to combat climate change.<\/p>\n<p>It was the first meeting of its kind in seven years but it\u2019s far from the last word on climate change this week.<\/p>\n<p>As the world descends on Paris next week for the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference, Alex T\u00e9treault, an organizer for Ecology Ottawa, will be leading thousands of people from Ottawa City Hall to Parliament Hill in the \u2018100% Possible March for Climate Solutions and Justice.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><script id=\"infogram_0_caron_emissions_per_capita_by_province\" title=\"Carbon Emissions Per Capita By Province \" src=\"\/\/e.infogr.am\/js\/embed.js?j1j\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n<div style=\"width:100%;padding:8px 0;font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;line-height:15px;text-align:center;\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/infogr.am\/caron_emissions_per_capita_by_province\" style=\"color:#989898;text-decoration:none;\">Carbon Emissions Per Capita By Province <\/a><br \/><a style=\"color:#989898;text-decoration:none;\" href=\"http:\/\/charts.infogr.am\/column-chart?utm_source=embed_bottom&#038;utm_medium=seo&#038;utm_campaign=column_chart\" target=\"_blank\">Create column charts<\/a><\/div>\n<p>T\u00e9treault said he is hopeful the newly appointed Liberal government will stick to its promises and insists Sunday\u2019s march isn\u2019t any kind of complaint. \u201cSome people might say \u2018If it\u2019s so positive, why do you need a march?\u2019\u201d he said. \u201cA march is not always a protest; it can be a celebration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s kind of how we\u2019re seeing this right now,\u201d he said. \u201cWe support you in what you say, now make it happen for real. So this whole thing is framed in a positive light.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But not everyone is buying what the government is selling. Tom Harris, executive director of the International Climate Science Coalition, said he believes no real solutions will be found with Trudeau in Paris. \u201cThe trouble is that what most governments have done \u2014Harper did this too so it\u2019s not really a left-right issue \u2014 is they focus on trying to stop climate change by reducing greenhouse gases,\u201d said Harris, an Ottawa resident. \u201cThat\u2019s kind of foolish because Canada counts for two per cent of the world\u2019s emissions. China and India are not going to reduce their emissions, that\u2019s pretty clear.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey even have an out clause in the current text for Paris where they won\u2019t have to reduce at all,\u201d he added. \u201cSo let\u2019s say Canada reduced our emissions massively, say 30 per cent. Well it would be 30 per cent of two per cent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Still, Velta Tomsons (pictured), another organizer at Ecology Ottawa, said there is room for optimism in Ottawa. \u201cI think it\u2019s important that the Environment Minister is now the Minster of Climate Change and the Environment. That\u2019s huge,\u201d Tomsons said. \u201cIt\u2019s putting a label on an issue that has never really been discussed at the higher levels of government. So that is very exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ottawa\u2019s first blast of winter came just hours after the federal government made its first move of many in the fight against rising temperatures.
