Like my borther, he lives in Vancouver. Similar with rubecube, I believe he's in Victoria.
There is a very special detachment from reality these people live in and they (really) fundamentally do not understand the contradiction of climate change vs. modern life and don't really operate in reality.
There is no squaring the circle that is climate change vs. modern human existence, especially when observed through the lens of
how the rest of the world actually operates, which could not be farther than how Vancouver / Calgary / Canada operates- which is amongst the highest standards of living in the world. When I read comments like petes above, or rubecubes last comment or others on climate change, they come across as the most ivory tower condescending BS ever. Pete talks about buying designer clothes and whatever, but buying beef is evil, as if such breadth and types clothes have no impact.
I work internationally. Let me tell you how much climate change comes up... most people are just trying to eat and have lights on in the house. The absolute luxury of choosing between beef or thousands of other food products is not reality for about +80% of the world. I just don't understand how this basic stuff is lost on the people of the west coast.
