Measurement United States Canada Who Wins? Coastline 19,924 km (12,380 mi) 202,080 km (125,567 mi) Canada by 914%
How come no one is talking about Canadian beaches?
Very cool visualization.
Coastlines are fractals, so theyāre all infinite and therefore equal.

Some fractals are more infinite than others.

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 thatās 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.
Iām a fan of climate destabilization myself.

That I knew, but the phrasing seems sarcastic towards climate change, thatās mainly what i wanted clarity on.
Building on your answer, if the Gulf Stream were to break, Europeās temperatures would drop, and at the moment there is still no understanding of how close we are to the Gulf Stream collapsing.
Letās not forget this very real threat
Collapse of key Atlantic currents may be held off by newly-discovered back-up system, study finds
Rising temperatures in the North Atlantic are slowing vital currents, but a new process in the Arctic could save the day, scientists say.

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. Iāve never been a proud American (in part because of the truth in āpride goeth before a fall,ā even though Iām not religious), but Iāve never been less proud than Iāve been forced to become over the past couple of decades.
As the other commenter said, Global Warming fell out of favor because it underlines only one part of the full problem. The weather in most places is getting warmer, but other things are also happening connected to it: extreme events are becoming more and more common, such as drought, flooding and forest fires, that might not seem included in the wording global warming but is clearly described by climate change.

The science is still very unclear, both from a modeling perspective (what are the pieces of the puzzle and how to connect them), a simplified perspective (what pieces are most important) and a theoretical perspective (what typical behavior should we detect close to the collapse).
Unfortunately, the latter oneās answer seems to be that close to bifurcations in statistical differential equations the variance of a system increases. Decrypting the math: close to a sudden change, we should experience a wider variety of events that usual, in particular more extreme events. This seems to be happening to the AMOC, but support for the claim is still weak and unclear (because the modeling is unclear, so we donāt know what pieces should be included in the problem).

I see Torontario but I donāt kmow what that stuff to the west is.

OPs image shows that they dont know where the prairie cities are.
Or Quebec and the Maritimes.no no cornwall is as far east as it gets

Maritimes erasure, too
idk wtf the maritimes and Quebec did to this guy

Donāt worry, itās all farm land and forest fires x)
If you go far enough, you get racism, followed by unaffordable housing.

damn, what a sad end

Yeah but itās cold and groceries are expensive and amazon doesnāt deliver.
I cancelled my (Amazon Canada) Amazon Prime account after I saw Bezos standing behind Trump at the inauguration.

While thatās true, in America at least the fact that average global temperatures are rising in large part due to human activities has been a significant point of contention with conservatives who seemingly instinctively deny responsibility for anything negative that they and/or their preferred policies are contributing to. They fought against āGlobal Warmingā tooth and nail despite the documented facts. They more begrudgingly accepted āClimate Changeā because it could at least be spun more easily into outcomes that didnāt make them look so bad.

I see⦠thanks for explaining where you were coming from! I honestly only vaguely remember the times when Global Warming was the naming, and here countries are mostly springing in action when talking about the ramifications of Climate Change. Even if we hardly tackle the root causeā¦

I mean, it is the lions share of our population down there. And wouldnāt Winnipeg be in it?
