Canada

The greatest change everyone should expect to see in the coming decades from climate change is .... mass migration.

As soon as the heat, flooding, hurricanes in the southern United States get worse, all those people are moving north, first to the northern states and then to Canada. As soon as forest fires get worse and destroy more land and communities, people like me in rural northern Ontario will migrate to cities and towns and to southern Ontario.

If conservatives think immigration is bad now, the future is going to have millions of people moving to places they don't want to go to to be greeted by people who don't want them there.

"I found myself crying because of climate change" sounds a touch dramatic, until you tack on "because people I know had to flee their homes and lost everything in a forest fire, and my child with asthma couldn't play outside most of the summer because of smoke, and we were just told by our insurance company that they won't insure our home anymore because our area is too high risk now" and so on.

Hand over the bill to Danielle Smith.

It found that 90 per cent of respondents were concerned about climate change

And the rest have their fingers stuck in their ears chanting "lalalala"

The working class is the class most likely to be negatively impacted or even die from climate change.

The working class is the class that has the least ability to make any effective changes to combat climate change.

In fact, many of the “actions” we are encouraged to do are explicit greenwashing and attempts by the Parasite Class to shift the burden of responsibility off of them (where almost all culpability originate from) and onto the working class (who cannot do anything about it).

So yeah, is it really surprising that anxiety is sky-high when the consequences are so severe but the primary instigators and generators are simultaneously blaming those who can do nothing about it and taking any legitimate powers away from us?

I have a little less climate anxiety, and a whole lot more Gilead anxiety these days. I'm all for climate protection, now, but holy hell there's some even more immediate concerns. If you can believe it, and most seemingly can't.

Last winter had “a lot” of snow. But seeing it piled up looked no different than what we got every year ~20 years ago.

You'd have to be stupid not to, a lot.of tuoid people out there though and ironically it's why weirw in this mess, as this poll indicates (why not 99%)

You just roll with it, same as you do with "anxiety" about your own mortality..

Rees bluntly states, “the human enterprise is effectively subsuming the ecosphere” and “wide-spread societal collapse cannot be averted — collapse is not a problem to be solved, but rather the final stage of a cycle to be endured.”
