In the survey released today by the Environics Institute for Survey Research in partnership with the David Suzuki Foundation, Canadians express most concern (78 per cent) about what climate change will mean for their children and future generations. Scarcity of water and more frequent droughts; increased extreme weather events like storms and flooding; and disappearance of wildlife are also of concern to a majority of Canadians. The survey also shows the majority of Canadians support a tax on carbon-based fuels across the country. Close to six in 10 (58 per cent) British Columbians support their existing carbon tax, and 56 per cent of Canadians elsewhere say they would support a B.C.-style carbon tax in their own provinces.
