Flooding in Japan

The extreme weather I mentioned in an earlier post looks like this in Kyushu, Japan.   26 people have died, and thousands are cutoff.

The weather eased somewhat on Sunday bringing temporary relief, but the Japan Meteorological Agency warned of more heavy rain, landslides and floods on the main southern island of Kyushu.

 What will it take to galvanize the Canadian government into taking action on climate change? What about Canadian citizens?  I know climate change deniers,  for Pete's sakes!
