We had a great response to this month’s poll.

In addition to answering the provided questions, a number of people added comments, noting what they are seeing and what they are most concerned about.

Fires, in particular forest fires, and the impacts they have on air quality, featured prominently. Larry noted that they had to stay inside a number of days this past summer, which many of us can relate to.

Flooding was another major concern, with s.hirst commenting on damage experienced to their house.

Brent, Mirjana, and George all noted that climate change is likely to cause increased political instability. (This is an issue on our radar for an upcoming Issue In Brief.)

And, the very Canadian concern of the loss of ice surfaces (connecting to the loss of traditional experiences and the deep cultural impact that has) was raised by Kevin.
