[p class="storyText"]British Columbia is planning to implement the toughest measures to combat climate change in North America. [/p][p class="storyText"]The Canadian province is already feeling some effects of climate change. A tropical fungus has made over 170 people very ill, and eight patients have died from it. Scientists believe global warming may be responsible.[/p][p class="storyText"]Now the premier of the province, Gordon Campbell, has announced a target of cutting carbon emissions by 33% by 2020 - the toughest target in North America.
