We’re now into an extended heat warning! We’ve had 21 days of extreme heat this year so far! Stay cool & hydrated & check in on family, friends & neighbours. Extreme heat can be deadly!
This is an important next step with our community-wide climate action efforts. Now more than ever, we need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to the impacts we’re already experiencing (like the extended extreme heat alert we’re in right now). Climate action enhances QOL & local economy.
City Council has approved a recommendation to update
Hamilton’s community-wide Climate Action Strategy to speed up efforts to reduce carbon emissions and better protect the community from extreme weather.

Don’t forget those who insisted that actions needed to avoid the #ClimateCrisis were “too expensive.”
Don’t forget all the record-breaking, historic or “100 year” events we’ve seen lately.
They’re not the “new normal.
It’s going to keep getting exponentially worse.
