It is literally in grade 3 when kids learn about greenhouse gases. The more you put into the environment, the hotter our planet gets. The hotter our planet gets, the hotter the oceans become and that causes more extreme weather, and it also dries out our forests, which makes our forests more susceptible and vulnerable to wildfires.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8608754\" data-originallang=\"en\">Over 40% of the people around the world who were forced out of their homes because of wildfires last year were Canadian. We are a small country, 0.5% of the world's population. Climate change is real. When will the Conservatives get it?</p>",
