Environment

To put some perspective, here in Eastern Europe many people are actually happy that we have light winters and less rain throughout the year. I would even say that global warming acutally makes this place more habitable (shortsighted, of course). EU is trying to push legislation to urge its state members for greener technologies, etc., however I personally think that the fact that it's not affected as bad as equatorial countries makes their moves not as radical as thhey should be.
The most affected are probably countries nearer equator - most of them poor countries which don't have that much impact on global politics. However, as you mentioned Canada, don't take me wrong, but the fact that global climate change touches rich and developed countries such as Canada, Australia etc., in my opinion is a good thing at current situation. Why? Because these are the countries that have global political power and the worse situation gets, the more they'll push towards saving the climate. No one will listen to poor countries.
