sort of event. That is a worrying next step.
'What can we do?'
'No-one from UK is involved so not too bad.'

Not disagreeing, I don’t know if I don’t know ‘how bad’ recent events are in Canada (compared with, say, recent flooding in Germany), due to under/disinterested reporting, but I think it’s clear (not just UK) that there are increasingly elements of both ‘oh well that’s the new normal’ and ‘can’t do anything, so not my problem’.
Of course not helped (UK and elsewhere) by ‘business as usual/more of the same/ASAP pronouncements and polices from Govs.
It’s clear that ‘the Market will solve the problems’ isn’t true - both because market/business/capitalism isn’t that interested - except in bits that might make money - after Gov (taxpayers…) has paid for development/startup costs.
It’s also because it’s not that simple.
‘ALL we need to do is plant enough of the right trees in the right places and capture ALL current and legacy carbon and pump it under the North Sea’.
Yeah right.
