Rising Tidesto reflect and think about times past and times to come. Rising Tidesso many words. Words of sorrow, words of loss, words of concern and fear. But also, words of connection to trees, to ice, to nature. We need these words to apprehend the changes coming upon us. I commend Catriona Sandilands for bringing together this diverse group of people that honoured climate change through these words. In their story, Deborah and Hilary MacGregor say, The spirits call to action has him troubled. That responsibility to actwhat can one person do? This is the power of wordsto find ways. Plato said that we knew nothing if we could not name it. Rising Tides uses words on climate change to name it, tame it and act as science tells us to, before it is too latebefore, as Jessie Thistle tells us, we see the red light of the cigarette and understand who lit the fire. Dr. Catherine Potvin, Canada Research Chair in Climate Change Mitigation and Tropical Forest (Tier 1)
