"Despite all the hysterical warnings of climate scientists, there have been no signs of apocalypse." Except we're breathing wildfire smoke every summer, crops are failing, and our government is yelling at us to stop taking showers because there's no water.
"It's comically unrealistic to expect Canada to mechanically thin out fuel loads across nearly a billion acres of forest, most of it hundreds of miles from towns or infrastructure." Hayduke
That Americans are blaming Canada for the smoke from Canadian wildfires proves two things: they don't know shit about global warming and they don't know shit about Canadian geography.
There are ~9000 times as many trees in Canada as people.
Most of the forest is highly inaccessible, far from any towns or roads.
Any sort of large-scale active forest managment is a fantasy in Canada, and firefighting is mostly limited to the small portion near inhabited areas.

Yeah. Now imagine that ten-fold for a female scientist.

Nature is not a thing, it is everything
The reason the human race is going extinct is because those that claim to want to "protect" nature agree with those who destroy it, that "nature" is a thing to be controlled, restored - a plaything of the human. As such these "environmentalists" can conveniently pretend that they only need to make a few expressions of being upset - because ... well, nature is just a thing.
If they stopped pretending and were honest enough to say that actually nature is everything - and as such "everything" is being destroyed, then they would have to do more than just get upset - which is such an upsetting thought for them that they just avoid it.
Governments are not killing the world, rather it is the cowardice of those who go through the motions of opposing them.

"As the second-largest emitter of greenhouse gas emissions in the world, you [U.S.] bear a significant amount of responsibility for global warming and the consequences we, in France, are experiencing. Your cities '90% air-conditioned' are not unrelated to this."
