BLAME ISN'T A CLIMATE SOLUTION
Too many pro anthropogenic global warming activists push the blame game—pointing at governments, corporations, or “the system.” Waiting for them to fix climate, biodiversity, or toxicity guarantees it never gets fixed. Finger-pointing costs nothing and changes nothing.
Outcomes are the sum of individual choices. Global scale multiplies that—it doesn’t erase it. Blame polarizes and excuses inaction on the levers we control.
Act where you have agency.
Back practical solutions.
Stop treating “waiting for others” as a strategy.
56 years since the first Earth Day, this tactic isn’t working.

@teotwp3 Individuals 100% need to take responsibility. Us wealthy westerners have quite willingly allowed ourselves to morph into rabid consumption machines, tossing away our collective strength for individualistic gratification - unwittingly perhaps, but eagerly nonetheless.
@Glen4Climate Flooding will get worse for 7 reasons:
1. Climate change.
2. Eutrophication of watershed which clogs them.
3. Erosion/filling of sediment..
4. Long term reduction of bulk density of soils.
5. Continued clearing of boreal forest.
6. Continued draining.
7. Contempt for beavers
@Glen4Climate Not really. The Feds want to shut the PFRA down. My personal articulation is a rather ambitious reimagination. Sent several emails but no response.
If there had been no CPR there would be no Canada.
The growth of Western Canada was not an accident. It was the result of a deliberate nation-building strategy that combined the railway with immigration, settlement, land policy, and economic development.
Without that strategy, cities such as Thunder Bay, Winnipeg, Regina, Saskatoon, Calgary, and Edmonton would almost certainly not have grown into the major urban and economic centres they are today. The railway connected them to national and global markets, attracted people, businesses, and investment, and made settlement on the Prairies economically viable.
Canada didn't simply build a railway—it built a country around it. Today's challenge is not to settle an empty frontier, but to create a new generation of connected regional economies. A modern high-speed rail network, integrated with housing, economic development, and population strategies, could do for the twenty-first century what the Canadian Pacific Railway did for the nineteenth: shape where Canadians live, work, invest, and prosper.
The greatest illusion of our time is believing someone else will solve the climate crisis.
There is no “someone else.”
It’s all of us, or none of us.

@josephluria It is ironic, that despite so many years in school virtually everyone is woefully ignorant of the first principles of solar radiation, energy, water, and Life.
