There's a new David Attenborough series called Our Planet. It mentioned this and does a good job of explaining how in the arctic the melting ice affects the whole chain of life and how species have shrunk and their food sources are being depleted.

The problem I have is the free trade deals and offshoring to non-environmentally regulated countries to produce cheap goods is doing much worse globally than just automobiles. Than you have this explosion in the global shipping industry (air and sea) polluting that is never really reported on
I'd rather have more expensive goods, less consumption, etc., and thus less pollution with limited outsourcing pre China WTO. Basically, we're filling the bathtub while trying to empty it with a spoon.
I think it’s more like northern Canada is warming up twice as fast as the rest of the world,
parts of wetern Canada maybe too. But certainly not central and eastern Canada,
we could use a bit more warming up here, lol.

The BBC article lists the temperature increases and it says that Arctic Canada, northern British Columbia and the prairie provinces are warming up faster than the rest of Canada. And Canada in general is warming faster than the rest of the world. The north has doubled compared to the rest of the world - a 2.3C increase compared to 1.1 for the rest of the world. I think BC can attest to it with the increasing dryness and wildfires in the north and south as well as in northern Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba plus the increasing summer heat waves in the south and coastal BC.

I think a lot of Canadians will be very happy to hear this. It's really ****ing cold there.
Sometimes when I look at the rest of Canada setting cold temperature and snow records every year I think they will be too.
We just had the coldest February ever and there have been some days in Spring that felt like Fall.
