Fort McMurray’s 80,000 Climate Refugees (now 88,000):
Fort Mac Alberta Lucks Out In Climate Casino

Don’t get me wrong. I empathize with the people from Fort McMurray.  Many lost their homes and memories.  I also empathize with the people of Houston that had waterworld a few weeks ago.  And with the people in India who have endured massive fires for a month.  And with the millions that will starve to death because the coral reefs are dying and can no longer support biodiversity and the 25% of the worlds fish that live on them.

Should I go on? I could go on for hours. Even days…

We have a global climate change emergency on our plates. As soon as the public recognizes this then governments will be forced to act. The sooner the better…

Fort McMurray was incinerated in a wildfire creating 80,000 climate refugees overnight. As tragic as this fire was, it is just one more city being destroyed in our climate change casino. Every city on our planet is vulnerable. Governments must do the right thing and declare a global climate change emergency.

FYI, US Presidential Candidate ‘Bernie Sander’s News Channel‘ showed my video from today!

On October 24, 2013 I wrote ‘Are Alberta’s Tar Sands prepared for a torrential rain event?‘, which examine the risk of the Alberta tar sands being flooded out by a torrential rain event, exacerbated by abrupt climate change…

I will need to revisit threats to this region, and analyze the flammability of the tailings ponds and the bitumen extraction regions, including the trees that are clear-cut, the peat that is scraped away and the underlying bitumen, which is like asphalt.  Natural gas, which is >90% methane is highly flammable and is used to melt the bitumen, which is mixed with dilutants (also flammable). A disaster waiting to happen…
