Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You should care about climate change. It's critically important that Mother Nature is pretty angry about the way we are treating her. We are acting as though we have unlimited resources (we don't) and the planet is infinitely large and can absorb our folly. It isn't and it can't forever.

British Columbia this summer probably suffered the worst summer in its history. Sometimes the temperature reached into the 40s (Centigrade). My daughter tells me that a town of Lytton BC was burned to the ground by a fire that was believed to be started by train sparks.

Thousands of towns in Canada are served by Trains. This is the first time I can remember a place burning down because of their sparks. It was helped by the intense heat of the weather.

We have to care. One of the main building materials we use in Canada is wood. A fire like Lytton's would devastate us, just as it did Lytton.
