Canada is not the US's hat. The US is Canada's pants.

Just another iconic Canadian town deleted by climate change. Nothing to see here, folks.

Beaverton not missing yet again.

That thing where she cried in a press conference (really happened), I guess it's just stupidity rather than cynicism.

Alberta's whole economy is based on oil, everyone's job there relies in some way on oil. But they don't even try to invest in other stuff like Saudi Arabia, it's all short term "increase extraction" mindset.

It's understandable why people I've met from Alberta don't want to believe in climate change, I know a guy from there who was shown (while in elementary school) a documentary calling Al Gore a charlatan.

When he came to Ontario he was honestly surprised we all believed in climate change, that was not at all the dominant opinion he had growing up, and he never really looked too hard into it himself.

I like the Beaverton but maybe we should be putting articles like this in c/fakenews

I want the phrase climatefire to take off. First of all, it sounds cool. Second of all it's actually true.
