Fossil fuels are a finite resource, we will run out. But the Conservatives want continue to plow the waters through towards that "iceberg" at full speed.

Sheer and friends are climate change denialists.
I bet that Sheer is a friend of Brazilian president Bolsanero who let the Amazon rainforest burn down.

Love it. If Police don't do their jobs then the public must act.

The greatest failure of many recent mass movements in the West is a failure to branch out from their middle-upper class origins (the source of most political agitators) and connect to the working class.

I’m fully on board with Canada reducing it’s CO2 emissions and I believe the climate science is overly conservative meaning we are in worse shape than it is conventional acknowledging; however I’m not really on board as seeing Canada as an environment pariah. Maybe I can be convinced.
If I do a back of the envelope calculation and forgive me if the math is wrong: Canada has 300 times the forest cover of the UK per capita. If we wanted to do a carbon sustainability comparison for today (forget about uk historical emissions and colonial legacy) the UK would have to bulldoze all their cities and farms, plant the entire nation with trees and reduce their population to 660k to be at Canada’s level

Except those forests has been around historically, and not touching them doesn't do any iota for what we are emitting, only not making it worse by removing a sink which we have little economic rationale to do, unlike the slash and burn agriculture in say Brazil (Amazon) or Indonesia.
