What billions? The US released some of Iran's own assets that were frozen, the US didn't give them anything.

Well I guess The Netherlands shouldn’t exist either, over a quarter of it is reclaimed land and 60% is below sea level at high tide. The area that flooded in Abbotsford was farm land, the most productive in Canada. I guess we shouldn’t have built the Trans Canada Highway through it either but I’m not sure where else we could have put it. https://www.farms.com/ag-industry-news/abbotsford-king-of-highest-farm-gate-receipts-per-hectare-294.aspx

I live in the Fraser Valley and Sumas Prairie is about 5 ft ASL. Whenever there is major flooding like we had in 2021 and 1991 it comes across the border from Washington State. Tides even affect Hatzic Lake which is upstream from Mission. In 2021, flooding closed HW1 for two weeks. Much of Delta is less than 4 M and much of the rail and road access to Delta Port is at 2 M as well as Boundary Bay Airport. High tides and storm surges regularly cause flooding in Boundary Bay. YVR is only 4 metres ASL

True but Cherry was an employee of the CBC, he wasn't entitled to a platform. I think the "you people" comment was just used as an excuse to do what they had wanted to do for some time.

Interesting how we respect honours given by other countries but dump on our own. Very Canadian. "WE'RE NOT WORTHY". Not surprising that came from a Canadian comedian. I mean, the US gave a POS like Rush Limbaugh the Presidential Medal of Freedom for Christ's sake.

It is very accurate, Sumas Prairie is less than 10 feet above sea level and that is 100 km from the ocean. The Fraser is tidal past Mission. BC Hydro actually did import 20% of its power this year. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/bc-electric-rate-changes-as-province-imports-power-1.7065802 So we will dike all the way to the border? What happens if Washington State doesn't follow suit? The water will just go around our dikes. The most damaging floods in the Fraser Valley are already from water crossing the border. Are you going to move all of Richmond and a large part of Delta, Pitt Meadows etc? How will rising water levels affect Delta Port and the port of Vancouver? The "we will just adapt school" really hasn't put much thought into what that will actually mean.

What taxes would you raise in order to finance those tax breaks? Canada will have to adapt as well. Rising sea levels will affect many areas of Canada. Much of the Fraser Valley as far east as Chilliwack is only a few feet above sea level and I bet if you checked you could find many other places that are low enough to be affected by storm surges. Bigger storms, drought affecting food production. Prairie farmers will be in rough shape this year if they don't get enough snowfall to raise ground water levels. BC Hydro had to import 20% of its power last year because of drought and low water levels in reservoirs. So much for run of river if that continues. People say all we have to do is adapt when they have no clue what that will actually mean.

All of that stuff is being worked on but it takes money. If it isn't profitable it will have to be subsidized and that will mean taxes to provide the money. Carbon taxes should be going to this purpose, not wealth redistribution. That is my main issue with our carbon taxes. Adapting is not optional, we will have to do that anyway. What can we do to slow the process down and give us more time to adapt and reduce the consequences that will require adaptation. Adapting to higher sea levels alone will be a massive undertaking. https://www.palmbeachpost.com/story/news/environment/2023/08/23/flooding-sea-level-oceans-rise-climate-change-emissions-noaa-predictions/70640635007/

Not a big fan of carbon taxes but what do you think we should be doing that would be effective and not “virtue signalling”?

Did he, or was he taking a shot at those who call them fascists? You are seeing what you want to see.

Or, you could look at it as sarcasm, making fun of those who believe their daily needs are being provided by fascists. You can read into that cartoon just about anything you want depending on your own prejudices. Maybe that is what he intended. de Adder has won numerous awards in the US as well

Ya, actually it is.

Such a hypocrite, you wear it like a badge of honour.

You parrot garbage from political hacks who have no background in science and somehow think you have a monopoly on the truth. You never question their motives because they are telling you what you want to hear. Al Gore is not a scientist either and An Inconvenient Truth was released 18 years ago. We have learned a lot since then but apparently you have learned nothing and are intent on remaining ignorant.

Sez the guy who said he hopes Russia completely destroys Ukraine and calls for the destruction of Gaza.

The Arctic is actually warming at a greater rate than anywhere else on earth. https://www.nature.com/articles/s43247-022-00498-3

Marano is a right wing political aid who used to work for Rush Limbaugh. His degree is in political science. Who collects his data and what scientific models does he use? Why do you reject real scientists and buy into these political hacks who have no scientific background at all? You really are a useful fool for these shysters.

One can only hope. Looks like Haley is on a bit of a role, if she gets close enough, Trump might actually have to debate.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/canada-record-population-growth-1.7063692 https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/canada-gdp-economy-1.7044651 So our population increased by 1% in the 3rd quarter and our GDP shrunk 0.3%

All judicial rulings are based on opinion.

If so, they have been doing a really lousy job because the Palestinian population has more than quintupled since 1950.

Poland reaffirms support for Ukraine and calls for the West to rearm. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/dec/23/west-must-rearm-in-the-face-of-russian-threat-urges-polands-foreign-minister

Let's see, NASA and other agencies actually doing the data collection and research or YouTube videos from god knows who. If you can't be bothered with the former, why should I waste my time on the latter?

We know you don't give a shit about the climate, that is obvious. People should be practicing what they preach but people like you make it easy for them not too. Your ignorance is their biggest ally. I drive a fossil fuel vehicle as well. I haven't jumped on the EV bandwagon yet but would seriously be looking at PHEV's if shopping for a new vehicle.

Fires have always been started by human error and lightning, that hasn't changed. What has changed is their severity. Who is in a state of panic? They are just recognizing a problem, you on the other hand are so terrified by it you can't even recognize there is a problem. Yes there are people who don't practice what they preach, so what, that doesn't mean the issue doesn't exist. The billionaire globalists profit from your ignorance. You validate what they are doing by denying there is a problem, so don't point your fingers at the billionaire globalists because you are one of their biggest enablers. You just use them as a convenient excuse to deny it exists. There are no such things as alternative facts, there are facts and shit you make up.
