Global Warming, Global Signs: (Via Energy Mix): Climate Hawk Mourns for Fort Mac…and Many Others | The Energy Mix

Reflections on the devastation of Fort McMurray, Canada, and the global connections to impacts of planetary warming elsewhere, by David Marshall, via Energy Mix: Climate Hawk Mourns for Fort Mac…and Many Others | The Energy Mix

"Nobody deserves to have their lives upended by climate disasters. Nobody. And most certainly not those working to keep a roof over their head and food on the table. But the world is slowly, steadily careening out of control. Tragically, the average Canadian contributes more to climate change than just about anybody else in the world, and Fort McMurray is the epicentre of one of our most unsustainable industries. I hope that this is—finally—the time where we heed the unmistakable warning signs that the path we are on is devastating people and communities and species and ecosystems. As Albertans muster the courage to rebuild, and all Canadians do what we can to help, let’s realize that a different, better path is right there to be taken."
