MAY: "Where is the ‘brainy and thoughtful’ Mark Carney who warned the world of the dangers of climate change?"

September 29, 2025 - OPINION - Elizabeth May

EXCERPT: "It was ten years ago, nearly to the day, that Mark Carney first made his mark as a climate aware citizen. In his famous speech to Lloyd's of London, (delivered September 29, 2015), he changed the international conversation.

That speech, “Breaking the Tragedy of the Horizon – climate change and financial stability.” focused on the deep and complex reality that only action in the short term can prevent global catastrophe that will be felt long term, and forever. It was brainy and thoughtful.

He warned that to stay within the level of global warming that would allow human civilization to remain viable, most of the known reserves of fossil fuels have to remain in the ground;. He explained that they would become “stranded assets” of “unburnable” carbon. “While there is still time to act, the window of opportunity is finite and shrinking.” . . . . "
