I completely agree with the above and would only add: 4. If, halfway through a response, you realize that’s not where you want to go, stop abruptly. They can’t use phrases that don’t make sense. 5. Don’t repeat the q asked, unless they specifically ask you to; and then only if you agree w it.

“But our population is so small, we’re not contributing much anyways. Go talk to China!” they then say. Again, NO. We Canadians have some of the highest per capita emissions in the world, and our national cumulative emissions add up to 2% of the total. That’s enough to make us #9 globally.

“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!

This is the exact same area that was devastated by two wildfires less than two weeks ago. Wildfire makes areas more vulnerable to landslides, and these types of compound whiplash events are becoming more common thanks to, you guessed it, climate change.
