Yes, please do your fucking part to stop global warming.
What is the US doing to prevent fires?
Dismantling the federal wildfire management system, probably.
That tracks
Killing unarmed civilians in the streets.
In other news Republicans cut funding to FEMA because they are a bunch of Socialist bastards and the American people should be able to save themselves./s
As a Canadian, I kind of agree. We have cut funding for fighting wildfires by more than half in the last 5 years and it shows.
You’re saying it was higher under a conservative than a non-conservative? You’re saying a conservative was concerned about people and the environment more than a non-conservative?
I’m gonna need to see the receipts on this one.
My representative is so fucking infuriating.
Not interested in what diarrhea of the mouth Republicans spew…
Having said that, Canada has done little to prevent wildfires; all our politicians are in the pocket of big oil and seem to be too stupid to realize that if they at least try to mitigate the climate disaster, the public is more likely to give them a pass
It’s true.
Canada is #12 on CO2 emissions per capita, with mostly middle east oil countries above. The US is #16.

We’ve apologized for Alberta numerous times.
The US cancelled all environmental regulations, because “woke”, so the US can shut the fuck up. The psychopath that shall not be named literally says all the time - drill, baby, drill. So, again, the US can shut the fuck up.
Or maybe, just maybe, we should both be working on this. After all, we are right next to you on the list, and certainly heading the wrong direction.
I’m not sure “shutting the fuck up” is the right way to go.
That’s cool and all but what is anyone supposed to do about it?
Canadian cities are centered around cars.
Winters are harsh, summers are plenty hot.
Most power is supplied via 80% non fossil fuels and trending in the right direction.
Obviously theres room for improvement but Canada is just not positioned to have low per capita emissions, it will always be lagging on this point.

…currently.

Insulation is neat.

Woo!

Especially if we tried nothing else and got nowhere.
Look; I agree we’re not gonna get there with a red government; we certainly aren’t getting there under a blue one with their love of selling dinosaur juice and dinosaur farts.
But we can’t get a happy shiny gov when everyone’s fear-voting to avoid the racist ponzi-schene alternative; or fear-voting to avoid losing grip on the dream of just one more tax break for the rich-bitches to start that golden trickle-down.
So my thing is, get a new voting setup. I like the simplest, because the rest are too hard for people to care about, but yeah. And while we’re already 10 years out and even more fucked than now, at least the rich bastards will be dead and we can kumbaya around the burning husk of civilisation (because everything’s burning) knowing we’re maybe on a better path.
When our descendants revert back to conservatism and invade the surface world, at least we’ll have left them the seeds of a better world to grow up here while they’re down there hiding from the radiation.
No clue how to reply to schizo posting like this.
Well done
Same thing as us. One big thing for everyone, not just centered on climate, is get semis (mostly) off the road. Primary method of shipping should be freight trains, for multiple reasons including environmental.
You could feed the damn trains with coal and it’d better for the environment than running a hundred semis across the country and all the road maintenance that requires.
Our last administration was doing pretty well on green energy. We can both do better than 80% if we include nuclear.
EVs over ICE vehicles. Charging stations. Encourage home solar and battery solutions.
Actually regulate industry.
Regulating the seas might be more difficult and require more cooperation.
Honestly it shouldn’t be hard to get out of the top 25 countries for per capita CO2 emissions.
You know whats ironic about EVs and their charge stations?
They’re often running on diesel generators, very common on Tesla charge stations
