Anyway…

Yeah, for me The Walking Dead were the non-zombie characters, on the run with no expectation of anyone surviving to their next birthday.

Kleptocracy hates rules, except Omerta.

Air quality seems to be becoming more extreme around the world!

It is certainly one way to compare. But in terms of global change, absolute numbers must be considered. No matter hours many people there are, we all breathe the same air. With more people in the area, there’s more pollutants in the air, whether it’s per capita or not. So while it may be logical to compare per capita, it’s not really the practical reality.

I understand percentages. But in your example of addicts, it’s the number of people that counts in my book, not whether or percentage is lower. I also understand that more people, pollute more, absolutely. So to think that our small population needs to make a significant effort to reduce pollution , which is absolute, is a guilt reaction.

This how you win the Hearts and Minds war.

Yes, we are small compared to them. But we are doing very well! This article is full of numbers without sources, making it an opinion piece.

Here’s something I can agree with:: (translated by google)

“ It is not only the limits of our planet that are exceeded, so is our economic model”, and

“… the only way to curb the looting and deadly destruction of our resources by the most greedy among us is to impose severe and ambitious regulatory constraints on them”

Downvote for paywall.

You’ve got to be kidding! No way Canada makes as much air pollution or solid waste as China, India, Africa, etc. We CAN do better but, the headline is BS.

Or just sarcasm.

Canada is home to millions of conflict refugees (i.e. veterans) from SE Asia, northern Africa, and the Middle East. I don’t know what would happen, but I hope this would be a significant factor in any insurgency.

Maybe “The Space Merchants”? They sell land on Venus because life really sucks on Earth. But will it be better elsewhere?

Opinions! Just like asholes; everybody’s got one.

I’ve never had a pc get to 10 years old before upgrading. I fully expect my MacBook to meet my needs (which don’t include rending animations or editing video) for the rest of my life (I’m 65) OR at least 10 years.

I may not have 10 years left in my life cycle!

Someone has to say it: I bought a MacBook!

I can haz vaxeen yes!
