Dr. Joyce Lee is a Care of the Elderly physician at North York General Hospital and Dr. Jeremy Theal is a staff Gastroenterologist and the Chief Medical Information Officer at North York General Hospital.
Drs. Lee and Theal are parents of a 6 year old girl. They are concerned about the effects of climate change, and what kind of world their daughter will inherit. In 2018, they trained under Nobel Laureate Al Gore to become Climate Reality Leaders. Since that time, they have given more than 40 presentations about climate change to community groups, healthcare providers, and business leaders in Canada. Their goal is to share the scientific certainty, the immediacy, and the impacts of the climate crisis, while inspiring people to act on this important issue. They have been driving electric vehicles since 2013.

Weather = flash floods + flash fires + flash rains + flash droughts + flash mobs
Climate = 30 years of weather + you don't got time to worry about climate
Dams and bio-energy are ecological disasters
50% of Nordic Europe's renewable electricity comes from burning imported trees
We burn corn, soy and palm oil in cars and will do so until 2030 so far
We burn recycled plastic and paper for electricity
In the last 20 years, petrochemical demand grew 7X human population
You can’t burn imported trees for electricity to save us from the climate
We can't build wildfire suppression big enough to handle future wildfires
Forest fires will burn faster than we can plant trees
We don't have enough land for bio-energy because we are losing forests, soil and water too fast
To get 30% of energy from algae would take a country the size of Argentina
To get 20% of global energy from solar in 30 years, we need them 3X faster than now
