“We don’t talk about climate change anymore. It’s called climate chaos. We have no way of knowing what’s going to happen, but we’ve upset the very chemistry of the atmosphere, and the consequences of that are going to be enormous.”
– David Suzuki in an interview with CBC
David Suzuki is well-known for being a spokesperson on global climate change. He has travelled to various places within and outside of Canada to speak about the gravity of the issue. His speeches stress the importance of adopting a more sustainable way of living, to reduce the use of fossil fuels, and to empower people to make a positive change for the future generations. In 2008, he urged students in McGill University to speak out against politicians who are not taking action against climate change.
In recent years, in an effort to minimize his carbon footprint, David Suzuki has stopped travelling overseas to spread his message on climate responsibility, and prefers to appear by video conference.
