The unprecedented wildfire season in 2023 has shown Canadians just how urgent it is to address the climate crisis, and new poll numbers show the majority of people want to see Ottawa move more quickly on environmental policy.
Ipsos polling, conducted on behalf of Global News, found nearly three in five Canadians agree that Ottawa will fail Canadians if it does not act urgently on climate change. But that also comes with 35 per cent of Canadians agreeing now is not the time to invest in climate change due to tough economic circumstances brought on by inflation.
The survey comes weeks after Alberta placed a six-month moratorium on wind and solar energy project approvals, with only about one in four in Alberta agreeing with the stance that Canada has to do more to address climate change.
With more than 15.6 million hectares burned across the country so far this year, Kyle Benning has more on what might be ahead for green investments.

No , we would like to catch whichever government office is responsible for this orchestrated arson.
All current sites that are burning, have been burned , are proposed smart city locations.
Hawaii included .
The deadline for them to secure the land was Aug 18th.
And Glohbull damn well knows it.
You can't change the climate no matter how much of our money they throw at it.its all a big scam
When people have a sense of job security and get paid enough to live they will care more about the environment. Jobs keep changing , shareholder driven companies keep laying people off and jobs get reclassified out of existence. When you are struggling to pay bills and trying to keep up with a changing work force the "environment" is the last thing you care about.
Wealthy business leaders and overpaid government decision makers will never understand this.

MORE CARBON TAX !!! YAY
Examples of waste. Less than 1 in 20 EV chargers bought by TRUDEAU government actually WORK. One in five CRA employees investigated over ineligible cerb, fired. It's not HOW much, it's how efficient. Stop the tax, call an election
Trudeau government incompetence means we get $1 value for every $20 spent. Call an election
Yeah, no Global. Did you talk to anyone that isn't an ignorant Lefty in the GTA about this? Canada is about 1.5% of global emissions. If Canada fell into space the atmosphere wouldn't even know it. How about you stop lying and give Central Canadians the facts about emissions? Or did Justin say no?
This is media brainwashing. You can have impactful messaging about human accelerated climate change while ALSO solving the housing crisis in a non-corrupt way. Both government parties are greedy and useless in different ways at this point.
Maybe the government should not have had all these fires set across Canada and we would not need the emergency help
Why have I never seen these polls or surveys?!? WHO is being polled? WHO get the surveys?
Climate change efforts should not be profitable. Only non-profit companies should be allowed in. Compensation packages should be average for market and managent should be paid no more than twice of the lowest paid company employee.
These measures will allow to maximize investments in real activities.
Why is there a media blackout of the two arsonists arrested in Alberta? Have there been anymore? Are they in jail or out starting more fires? Why has the media in Canada covered up this angle of the story? How about doing a story about the Yellowstone fire in the USA, did you know the arsonist was convicted a couple of months ago? Hugh fire covered by everybody but when they found out it was arson, media blackout.
Fires are part of western culture since the beginning of times in the west
It’s always been a issues ppl look at the stats and wake up
No one wants to do anything about climate change if it lowers their standard of living. They want someone else to pay for it.
Government: Lets tax corporations so they polute less.
Corporation continues to polute as normal passing on the cost to the consumer.
Government: Why isnt our tax working? Surprised Pikachu face.
Climate change is a lie and enviromemtal groups are cause hate speech
No they don't.
Out of touch news is why you've no viewers. Pure propaganda
Canada is contributing to climate change by funding war and the military
Canadians want urgent climate action and Communism is the only solution.
This year has not seen a particularly high number of wildfires but we have seen a particularly high amount of land burned. Could it be because we have a build-up of flammable vegetation due to years of suppressing natural wildfires? Let's see next year.
Climate action? LOL. You cant change the climate. Climate change has been occurring since the birth of Earth. Strange why gov funded media does not report RCMP arresting/perusing a number of arsons across the country. Move on.
I would love to see the dislike count on this video
Climat change is not going to happen unless countries like China, Korea, even the US get on board. Canada is already near carbon neutral due to our vast unpopulated areas (something activists don’t ever mention)
Canada contributes only 1.5 percent of the world's carbon emissions. Let that sink in. If Trudeau has his way people will have to choose between food and heat in a country where temperatures can reach minus 30 Celsius. Only the rich will be able to heat their homes. People will die. Thats what Trudeau wants.
Goddamn out of touch reactionaries have poisoned almost every goddamn comments sections on Canadian channels.
People need to be selfish rather than compassionate for the planet. Climate change is a cumulative effort not a national problem alone.
They're figuring out money doesn't grow on trees even though the liberals tell them it does.
We need to shut down global and the CBC
total bull propaganda climate chage is a tax grab from trudeau
Climate scam
No!!! The only action needed is to vote out the Liberal government. We need LESS government. Enough of this climate alarmist hysteria!!!
Who says Canadians want urgent Climate Action? Is it the mainstream media and the Liberals? The Climate Will Change Itself!
The Elites of the world have been pedaling this fraud for decades Now. First it was Global Cooling in the late 60's, Then it was the Hole in the Ozone Layer in the 80's,
Then Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth and Global Warming in 2005. Finally, now if it is hot and dry in B,C. and Cool and Wet in Nova Scotia then it's Climate Change. Give us a break!
I don't believe this
Global Warming didn’t start the fires, Humans did. Go check the BC Wildfire Service for their Stats.
We need more gas and cheaper. So I can ride out my retirement in comfort. ?
Liquor and whores are becoming unaffordable ???
We could shut down everything in Canada and it would make no difference in the world climate. Everything we need would have to be made somewhere else and the pollution would be worse because it would be made under less restrictions than we have had to bend to.
Climate change ! The world will do what the world wants to do. Liberal ndp party needs to be banished ! We can change that here soon. Vote Pierre for presidenteh!
The biggest issue are polluters like India and China, they are doubling down on dirty energy till at least 2050. Canada makes up such a small amount however we should be making it better and fully in place by 2050. Also India has some of the worst fresh water on the planet due to there chemical plants just dumping it directly into the rivers where people are bathing lol. Canada should be building 10 or more nuclear power plants and then selling that left over energy to the USA. Thus making Canadians pay less.
Scamate change, have a good night folks
