“Canada is such a northern country, don’t we want a little global warming?” I often hear.
In a nutshell, NO.
We’re warming 2x faster than the rest of the world, driving extreme heat, flood, and sea level rise we are not prepared for. The wildfire season started in Feb this year. Feb!

I live in Alberta. -40 in winter isn't unprecedented for us, but we hit it for a week *every* winter now, and routinely hit 40 at least once in summer--and that had not happened in my lifetime until a few years back.
The mediation between extremes is gone and it took spring and fall with it.
