The tip comment is the same thing, its you claiming we shouldn't do our part because we're only a small part of the bill. Which is a dick kind of thing to do.
Canada is very per capita in CO2 output even if we aren't a big percentage globally. China and India will say if a rich country like Canada doesn't have to do their part why should a country that puts out way less per capita and isn't as rich have to do anything.
Now you're just trolling, as you so often do. Which is an actual dick thing to do.

Where did I say we shouldn't do our part?

Yes, its an El Nino year that is making eastern Canada a bit colder, combined with the slowdown of the AMOC.
But look at this map and you can see the few blue, cold, spots and see where its warmer, red.
Does this look like the world is getting colder?

Like I said, you could shut down all of Canada and it would only reduce global GHG emissions by 1.6%. Which wouldn't make the slightest difference to global warming. Not to mention, just about the entire population would freeze to death. Got any other brilliant ideas?

People of a certain mentality fail to grasp the concept that climate change, although resulting in an overall increase in global temperatures, also results in extreme weather occurrences on either side of the spectrum in although in much smaller areas. It's the unpredictability. That's what happens when you keep your head buried in the sand.

The earth’s climate has always been in constant flux and doesn’t stay constant or necessarily favourable to human habitation, whether it is agriculture or vacation human needs . Destruction and survival are mutually guaranteed, or are they ?.
The greedy grovelling , “ gravalicious” nature of big oil with their right wing apologist versus the left wing fueled naïveté of carbon taxes etc. will both be no match for the cataclysmic forces of nature which caused ice ages and tropical conditions at the poles in the past.
Speeding up or curtailing or slowing down iatrogenic CO2 is not going to influence naturally occurring CO2 release. The output from China or India is not something that the West can doing anything about.

What will happen if people who are climate deniers and skeptics no longer keep their heads
buried? Would they make as much effort to reduce their carbon footprint as climate sheeple
did? Would the world's emission be brought down in no time?

Wrong. I never said we shouldn't look at renewable technologies, eliminate coal fired plants etc. I was simply stating a fact, that you could shut down all of Canada and it would only reduce global GHG emissions by 1.6%. How much of a difference do you think your silly idea of banning private jets make to our overall GHG emissions in a country the size of Canada? I'll tell you, next to nothing.

I don't know. But it is ludicrous for someone to make declarations regarding the the environment when they don't even bother to look around them at what is happening. Their opinions are not worth a damn.

Carbon levels in the atmosphere are very low by geological standards.

400 - 500 PPM is miniscule, and extremely low compared to most of Earth's history.

We are merely getting back to a more normal level. And good thing too. Crop yields increase - in fact it is alreasy apparent from Satellite photos that the earth is greening.

Big Oil?

What about BIG GOVERNMENT?

Big Media?

Not even in the same ball park.

Weather events are not doing anything unusual.

FYI, forest fires used to be ASTRONOMICALLY worse then they are now, when settlers first arrived in |North AMerica

That's not a legit, peer reviewed, paper.
That's an opinion piece by a right wing, oil funded 'think tank'.

That's just a non-peer reviewed, junk science paper written by a left wing, climate-hystericist, environmental terrorist financed left wing rag:

Now that is a classic head in the sand statement. Heat records were being set all across the U.S. this year.
