RE: The way to extinguish “Blame Canada” Editorial by Amy Mann.  Amy is a student organizer and researcher at the University of Toronto.  She is a native of Winnipeg.

The editorial editor surrendered his chair to a college student this morning.  I wondered what was up.  The writing style was somewhat more pleasing than usual, though the editorial still retained that smug stupidity and sheer irrationality one expects in a Spec editorial.  “Pointing directly at the companies selling out our country for a profit!”; “the right will only double down on their violent rhetoric.  Blame Canada will not disappear in a puff of smoke, but ravage on like a wildfire.” Ouch.  Etc.

So, what’s it about?  Climate change, again.  Climate change caused massive wildfires, and New York City got enveloped in a different smelling cloud of smoke, this one possessed of fresh pine and wood fragrance.  Canada is being blamed for fumigating New York City and endangering it citizens.  Blame Canada!

Nobody on the right is blaming Canada, or climate change, for wildfires.  They happen.  The global average temperature is 14.16℃, the same as it was in 2010 and 1997.  NOAA reports that global temperature declined by 0.296℃ between January, 2015 and May, 2023.  Global warming is a bust; there’s no correlation between CO2 and global temperature.  That’s the data.  We aren’t going to reach a 1℃ rise by 2100, not that anyone has said what happens at 16℃ that will cause climate collapse.

If climate change caused the wildfires, what can you conclude now that they’re out?  The climate change on us again!

Nobody’s blaming Canada except the loony Left.
