The Tory Pirate - Politics & Policy: Random Thoughts: Canadians Abhorring Climate Change Whilst Enjoying Its Benefits?

So it has been another few months of above average temperatures. Focus has been on COP21 and what politicians hope
will be the deal that saves the Earth. Now while a fair amount of ire has been directed at climate change deniers they
may not represent the greatest obstacle to fixing CO2 levels.

Consider this scenario: Its December and the average should be 0 degrees Celsius. Now what if the temperature was a
nice 15 degrees all month. What would be the response from the average Canadian? My money would be on them
saying they like the mild temperatures. In fact I’d bet money all comments would positive about the “wonderful weather
we were having
“. I know because that is what people have been saying. No one is saying its too bad its not colder.

If Canada is to make the changes it needs it is time for Canadians to start embracing the cold. After all, a house
divided against itself cannot stand. Canadians need to start thinking of our frigid winters as a good thing.
