At the limit: A call for action as the Earth reaches cascading tipping points – Times Colonist
Ahead of COP30, more than 160 scientists released a report warning global warming is pushing humanity into a “danger zone” marked by cascading climate tipping points.
Waterloo native Neha Acharya-Patel was just 15 when her father took her deep underwater for the first time at a dive park in Gulliver’s Lake, near Hamilton, Ont.
“It was disgusting and it was so cold … someone had just thrown toilets and refrigerators into it,” Acharya-Patel said, laughing at the memory. “It was horrible. And then I didn’t dive again.”
That changed in 2013, when she moved to British Columbia to pursue an undergraduate degree in marine biology. There, she trained in scientific diving and fell in love with the deep, cold waters of the Pacific Northwest.
