'We need to adapt' ... like frogs in ever-warming water til we're boiling to death? That kind of 'adaptation', governments of the world? Because you all ignored the science, 20-30 years ago?

"... warming ... that we're going to feel the effects of even if we were to stop using fossil fuels today,"
'We need to adapt': Heatwaves are dividing cities and 'amplifying' vulnerability
Extreme heat can affect different parts of cities unevenly. What's causing it — and what can be done about it?

On Jan. 9, 1953, Marguerite Pitre became the last woman put to death in Canada.
She took part in the bombing of Canadian Pacific Air Lines Flight 108 that killed 23 people in exchange for absolving a debt of $600 she owed.
This is the story of that bombing.

If you haven’t done so already, please boycott US products as much as possible and not travel there (and encourage your friends/family to do the same). The Trump regime has been repeatedly threatening 🇨🇦 too, and so in return Canadians have inflicted severe financial pain by cutting travel + imports.

Here are a few of the ways Canadians tried to put more power behind their purchase and travel choices in 2025 — and how those decisions may have impacted the U.S. economy.

If Greenland falls, Canada is next. It is time for the people of Denmark to invoke Article IV of NATO and to call Trump's bluff.
Either Europe stands up to him or we descend into an era of global gangsters.

Fun related random fact: BCI + BC Public Sector Pension Plans are invested in the Thai fossil firm working with Myanmar’s junta.
(from our awful pension investments advent calendar)
December 17: BCI has ~$5.30M in PTT PCL, Thailand’s major oil + gas firm (majority state-owned).❄️ PTT is bankrolling Myanmar’s evil junta (currently waging war on civilians) by buying loads of fossil gas from the military-controlled Myanmar Oil + Gas Enterprise (MOGE).🎄Our pensions are complicit.
