Reminds me of the Bobcat Goldthwait bit about the fire truck Yes, you morons. Three billion people will be faced with the choice to emigrate or die because the weather is fatal and their food doesn't grow and the marine life is all dead, and the droughts in the American dustbowl will inspire them to take everything we can drink, but before we die of thirst and starvation huddled under millions of climate refugees, we're gonna see a winter where the snow in your four-car driveway won't need shoveling. Drill you dumb motherfuckers, drill.

So serious question: which parts of Canada will be least affected, or may see things improve, during climate change? I'm assuming the southern prairies in particular are going to look more and more like deserts, but what about places like the Peace River region in the north? edit - a shameful typo just another fucked around with this message at 19:43 on Jun 19, 2019 |

just another posted:So serious question: which parts of Canada will be least affected, or may see things improve, during climate change? Here is a very good website to help you understand how different parts of Canada will be affected by climate change: https://climateatlas.ca/ The short answer is that more or less everywhere gets worse in some way. More days of extreme temperature, more periods of sustained heavy rainfall or drought, hell we may even get more snow than we used to in the winter because of generally increased precipitation and the just-below-freezing conditions that generate snow being more likely to occur more often than the frigid cold conditions where no snow is possible. And even if there is anywhere in the country that improves in some way, the strain placed on those places by having to balance out the enormous majority of places that get worse (for example, when it comes to growing crops, or population migration because some places are no longer liveable) will more than make up for it. It is a complete 100% myth that Canada will be fine when it comes to global warming, emerging out of normalcy bias and typical Canadian complacency.

I don't know... all the indicators point to where I live becoming substantially more livable for humans over the next 100 years. It's just a shame that the things that will make the north coast nicer will also obliterate the local ecosystem and probably make wildfires a local hazard.

On average climate change doesn’t look that bad for a lot of northern areas but that ignores the details - mostly that weather becomes mores dynamic so moisture and precipitation goes up, it comes all at once intermittently in between heat waves.

I might need to pick your brain sometime. I'm early days planning a regional teachers conference themed around the intersections of economic justice, climate justice, and Reconciliation in Northern BC, and you seem to be the CanPol Cassandra for climate change.

Oh wow. The guy who was interviewed by Faith Goldy on Rebel Media and hired one of the founders of Rebel Media (home of Ezra Levant) to run his campaign, won't denounce a racist MP? The hell you say. Possibly less overtly racist than Maxime Bernier is a hell of a place to set the bar, but Andy loving Scheer may not be able to clear it.

Seems like an easy bar to clear but we live in the worst timeline. e: Didnt Manitoba's NDP basically collapse on itself during a leadership change? Have they recovered at all from that yet?
