OTTAWA — Several hundred Canadian millennials plan to rally in at least 30 cities across the country today, demanding a federal leaders’ debate on climate change.
Emma Jackson, a field organizer with the group Our Time, says the science is clear that humanity only has 11 years to get a grip on greenhouse-gas emissions before global warming becomes catastrophic and irreversible.
Our Time is working to mobilize voters under age 35 to demand solid climate-change plans from all parties.
Climate change has skyrocketed to the top of many lists of issues voters care about the most — particularly younger voters.
