Quote from: Valmy on September 16, 2025, 03:29:39 PMJust to clarify even back in 2004 I did not doubt the temperate north could freeze under global warming, what was ridiculous was the disaster movie nature of it.

I think we all understood that was what you were saying  :)

In several surveys, the overwhelming first choice for what makes Canada unique is multiculturalism. This, in a world collapsing into stupid, impoverishing hatreds, is the distinctly Canadian national project.

The mountains will remain the Eastern barrier, obviously.

Yeah, we don't have something similar here.  It's why it is one of the sweet spots for riding it out.

Fair point - although that is more of a problem a few hours in from the coast.  But I can see that being more of a problem here as things continue to dry out.

And another reason why I think one of the biggest issues is how to integrate Africa into a global economy and enable African states to develop.

And the birthrate is falling massively across Africa - including in Nigeria.

Yep. Let's not start celebrating our African future just yet. Africa is trending our way just a few decades behind us.

You just have to figure eventually somebody is going to find a way to stabilize the population or at least manage it well because right now everybody seems hopeless to even slow the crisis. Or even react to it in a productive way.

Soon enough, a significant chunk of the population will have nothing better to do with their time than fuck.

Ah weird, my memory playing tricks on me. I'm sure I'd heard somewhere Nigeria was a particular issue which wasn't keeping up with these African trends. Maybe it was just a Nigerian as an example for Africans and the issues with getting reductions
