Waterloo Region Information Archive

According to the City of Kitchener website as of February 6, 2026 , "Climate change is a global problem with local impacts. Local climate change projections indicate that our climate is already changing and that our local weather will be warmer, wetter and more extreme." (Hard to believe with the winter we are having, with a low of -21C tonight). Is this projection true? What can we see with our own eyes?
Maybe we could question this narrative and zoom out a bit. If we look at recent research from the journal Science on September 20, 2024 this graph was shared about the fact that we are in a cooling period:

Lets ask ourselves, why the push for all the "climate initiatives" in Waterloo Region when we are actually in a documented cooling period? We know that the climate cycles and changes over hundreds of thousands of years. This has never been so keenly focused on before. When you look at the next graph, you can see that Canada only contributes to 1.5% of the total world Green House
Gas (GHG) emissions, and Waterloo Region is a tiny, tiny fraction of that.

According to "Transform Waterloo Region" there is a push to reduce our GHGs by 80% by 2050 - but why? Waterloo Region contributes to 0.008% of the World's total GHGs. China and India have no such goals. By trying to reduce our GHG emissions in Waterloo Region by 80% by 2050, that means we will have to give up our private use of gasoline cars, air travel, gas stoves and more. Who voted for this?

We need to look at how much money the Region of Waterloo is spending on Climate Initiatives to reduce GHG's and ask if that money can be spent on more immediate, local issues like homelessness and our water supply constraint.
