Climate change is the greatest existential threat facing mankind, but you wouldn’t know it from the Conservative leadership race

  • TORONTO—The world seems to be on fire this summer as record-breaking temperatures are causing death and destruction on every continent. Unless the world acts
Opinion | BY DAVID CRANE | July 28, 2022

It seems they would govern as though the future didn’t matter. But a commitment to serious action on climate change should be a litmus test for anyone who wants to be prime minister, writes David Crane. The Hill Times photographs by Andrew Meade
