Helpful carbon hints

The region needs a plan to avoid climate catastrophe, says some ‘agency.’  Here are some helpful hints from Alberta that will keep Hamilton, and Hamilton alone, from suffering this climate ‘catastrophe.’ (Burlington, you’re out of luck!)

Stop heating your homes with Alberta natural gas.  Huddle together to keep warm this winter, subject, of course, to COVID mandates: vaxxerd with vaxxed; unvaxxd with unvaxxed; masks are mandatory, households, and total numbers. etc.  Freezing to death is bad, but dying of COVID is bad form.

Stop driving to and from work, and to and from the grocery store.  Your dying of poverty and malnutrition in 2022 will be good for the climate in the year 2050.  If you leave no descendants, that’s good for the year 2100.

Stop primary steel making at Dofasco.  Saving Hamilton from a climate catastrophe is more important than the jobs or the tax revenue.

Eat tofu.  By not eating flatulent Alberta cattle, you indirectly benefit Hamilton.  Stop eating bread and other wheat based products.  Wheat is grown in Saskatchewan, and a lot of fossil fuel is burned planting, cultivating, harvesting, and processing wheat into bread and other staples that are delivered by truck to your supermarket.  Oh, and stop using canola oil.  That too is grown in Saskatchewan and Alberta.  Make the best use you can from that prime farm land you want to save from developers.

Don’t breathe so much.  Exerting yourself only adds to the CO2 you produce as a living being, so no activities that raise the heartrate, like exercise or huddling too closely with your significant other.  Producing more Hamiltonians is definitely bad for Hamilton’s climate.  Fewer people means less pollution.

Such is the world that the climate crazies want.  It seems a little dystopian, but fresh from their victories imposing COVID restrictions, progressives think they can pull some of this off.
