    Well, just where exactly did you think the North Pole was, Santa?

              Global warming… …er, I mean “Climate Change…” …will take care of that first issue, and the cascade effect of humans moving northward due to such will take care of the rest.

              Why did you cross out global warming for “climate change”? (Genuine question, this seems a debate i have overlooked)

                Global warming fell out of favor, while true: morr energy in the system, higher average temperatures; it confuses some people.

                I.e. more energy means more extreme extremes. So cold events can also get worse and more frequent. To a lay person that’s a contradiction.

                Climate change gained favor as a more lay friendly name.

                Also there was some idiot US congressman/senator who brought a snowball into the house as evidence that global warming was a hoax.

                  That I knew, but the phrasing seems sarcastic towards climate change, that’s mainly what i wanted clarity on.

                  Building on your answer, if the Gulf Stream were to break, Europe’s temperatures would drop, and at the moment there is still no understanding of how close we are to the Gulf Stream collapsing.

                        I learned that a week before moving to Detroit when I randomly found a trivia card that asked “What country is directly south of Detroit Michigan?”

                          I was born and raised in Yellowknife so I guess I get to be an exception. That aside, I’m in agreement with the spirit of the meme. 15 or so years ago there was a lot of hullabaloo about Chinese “ghost cities.” Well, those cities are populated now. Canada should be thinking (and doing) similarly.

                            I guess the good old usa would be represented by a thin left side and a thin right side, with a whole lot less in the middle.

                              I feel like this only really works for Ontario. The majority of the population of Ontario is located in the South.

                                This map is a bad take on the joke that the “majority of Canada lives within 100km of the US border” -or whatever number. All that joke tells you is that the majority of the population are in the big metro areas surrounding Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver. It doesn’t mean most cities are within 100km of the border. The yellow area in the prairies has very few people, lol.

                                  Assuming that is 100km from the border, a country formed by that map would still be roughly in the top 30 biggest countries, about the land area of Egypt and significantly bigger than France or chile.

                                      To answer your question, it was indeed a sarcastic comment on the BS surrounding CC being somehow more politically acceptable than the truth of GW. I’ve never been a proud American (in part because of the truth in “pride goeth before a fall,” even though I’m not religious), but I’ve never been less proud than I’ve been forced to become over the past couple of decades.

                                        Unfortunately climate change makes many northern communities, that are dependent in permafrost to allow trucks to pass, less accessible. At least in the short and medium term.

                                          Gotta love the magic of trying to map a 3D sphere into a 2D space. This article I just searched up seems at first glance to do a reasonable job of quickly explaining the reality.
