How strange it is that people believe this climate nonsense spewed out daily by mainstream media they even had my wife convinced until I googled every damn one of the news stated "Highest temperatures ever" for every single claim for weeks now and every time I found higher recorded temperatures for each individual location everywhere. Folks dont believe all the propaganda do yourself a favor do like I do and stay informed.
We have however never had these massive fires that happen now? NO another false news propaganda BS story, google it, North America was on fire in the 1700,s so badly that new York suffered weeks of no sun and the smog travelled all the way to Europe from fires in Algonquin Park.
This new war on climate change is comrade Trudeau,s made up news spewed daily by his bobblehead fools up in Ottawa and his paid for media.
Enjoy the rest of your summer everyone it is just another normal heat wave and it will pass just like every other one in the worlds history.
I was very deeply involved with the Green Party back when I was a resident and newly-minted doc, ran on the Green ticket, and was the national healthcare critic (somewhat informal way back then) and did some radio interviews as such. I did a lot of bicycle infrastructure promotion, and even was one of 200 Canadians selected to be "trained" by Al Gore for his "The Climate Project" initiative way back around 06 or so.
It's weird to think about now, but the Green Party back then was very not-woke. It was libertarian-conservative in many ways. It advocated for low corporate tax rates. It was about getting the government the hell out of things (they distort the market and make polluting tech more profitable - long discussion). Then EMay took over, and the rest is history. I'm not embarrassed to say I ever had anything to do with them, even though it is pushing up towards 20 years since I did.
Ironically it was actually my time at the Al Gore "training" in Montreal that started my break from the GPC. I looked at the way he was treated and revered and realized I was in a cult. What I saw was a smarmy politician in a 4000 dollar suit with a 10,000 dollar Rolex and too much haiir product. What other people there saw was some kind of saviour. I realized that I wanted to get rid of big, centralized government, rebuild communities and localize economies (to the extent they can be in today's world). They wanted a Great Leader to part the seas and take us all (willingly or not) to the promised land.
I always find it funny when people start any defence of Trump, or Bernier, or Peterson, or some other "polarizing" figure by saying "I don't agree with a lot of what they say, but...". To me that goes without saying. Hell, I don't agree with a lot of what I say (or said) let alone what other people say.
Is the climate changing? Sure. Is it an apocalypse? Nope.
I've come to the conclusion that I'd rather spend the rest of my days living with people driving Ford F-250's, doing donuts on ATV's, and eating all-steak diets who will respect my personal freedoms than I would like to live with a bunch of vegan, bicycle-riding busybodies who feel they have to micromanage my every move "because climate change".
Lots of insight and intelligence in this article. I absolutely agree that delusions of virtue underlie the "woke" and "social justice" movements--and its scary to think this delusion is infecting (no pun intended) the medical field. These moral crusades are fundamentally disconnected from any rational resort, and we see lots of evidence this is exactly the situation we are in society-wide. But panic and alarm are never conducive to practical solutions.
I love the expression: boilerplate woke-speak about the need to have “uncomfortable conversations”, “ask hard questions” and other euphemisms for placating the mob. I wish this language were turned back on the anti-racist racists. They present themselves as brave when they are merely sheeple.

Great read again, thanks for this!

Yea, that stuff is funny/ridiculous. Although I know its all around us, I don't actually hear this stuff in my real life.
Excellent. That is Jordan Peterson's point when he says, first, clean your room.
