    Because to fix it, what they have to change is everything. The way things are powered, produced, financed and probably also governed. Nobody will vote for that. They’ll keep trying to patch things up until it really starts to falls apart and people take the pieces to put them together differently.

      Effective prevention of climate change is and has been politically impossible, like you said.

      Maybe I’m just depressed about it all but I’ve moved on to the unfortunate “resilience” (or acceptance) phase. It’s coming and it’s not slowing down. So what are we going to do about? The answers differ depending on where you live. Some places just aren’t going to survive. The ones that do are going to have strained resources to withstand extreme climate effects while simultaneously having a refugee problem.

        So what are we going to do about?

        Yes, some will fail but like evolution in living creatures, better adapted regions and ideas will survive and flourish. It’s the usual way in history. I figure it’s our job to start adaption where possible.

      Are you an idiot? Answer: Yes.

      Canada is already 80%+ green. Far higher than any other country its size.
