Climate Change

It's finally snowing!!!

2016 was hot for us. Broke so many records and almost broke another. If it took just a couple more days to snow, it would have been the latest first snow on record.

Climate change is a huge issue and needs to be taken more seriously.

I will be quite upset if Trump does back out of the Paris agreement.

It's probably going to happen.

The nutty part about this, is that China is basically gearing up to be the green leader.
Trump said "China is beating the hell out of us", and it's going to be his fault....

Yeah its all totally messed up. And its not like this is just any political argument, people's lives are at stake here. If this agreement doesn't go through then the implications for the world could be devastating. It makes me angry when I think that what Trump does in his four years, with this deal and boosting coal mining again etc, could be the difference between climate change being controlled and tens of millions of people being displaced from their homes around the globe due to flooding.

Thing is people complain. The province shut down all coal mines, while we're still in stupid contracts keeping the costs of electricity up, people are complaining about the higher prices of electricity. But I don't see people complaining that the smog in Toronto is gone. I don't see people complaining that there hasn't been acid rain since the 90s. Without all that smog summers are very dry and cool. I mean, shame happens with el nino and other factors, causing an abnornally hot summer this past year, but for the past 5 years summer has been dry and cool, which is good. It used to be hotter here in the summers than back home in Italy because of the humidity, you couldn't even breath. But the cost of electricity is too high and people would rather die faster.

Interesting, but I'll wait and see what happens down the line.

I don't like the YouTube current algorithm. Apparently, if you don't upload for at least two weeks, the subscribed audience won't notice any consequent updates. As a result, the subscriptions tab doesn't reliably notify you of all of your subs' new content.

I really hope he changes his mind about climate chamge being false.
That would be disastorous for many people and species.
