Europe still holds wrong thinking about the monetary system, but does the EU even have the right system in place? Still, floods savage countries like Germany every year now. It’s a matter of time before a dam fails (see Brazil or Kenya or Nova Kakhovka). Some towns can be sheltered by ecological restoration, others protected by ecological infill (greeting cities), still others nothing can be done. Cities are the front line of climate change, it’s there people will either adapt or, likely, perish.

In Canada, we just raIsed carbon taxes again mostly to fund the government's favourite carbon engineering hucksters in another desperate bid to salvage sequestration

As per usual, the regime's man-with-a-hammer-syndrome solution for

every decarbonization nail involves building even bigger carbon engineering.

You'd be hard pressed to find a reference in Ministry literature to Mother Nature and how She too is a great carbon engineer, who once re-balanced the carbon cycle from 20,000 ppm and how She mostly works for free. Peak Wall Sttreet 'green-washing'.

Set water loose to roam free!
