@kevinrns Gobsmacking! I’ve had some discussions recently about the term climate “activist,” and whether there might be another term that could be brought to usage. It seems to be the case that when referred to as an activist, it has negative connotations and brings almost implicit impatience.

I don't know any of those people.

Hmm perhaps economist, one recent study suggested British Columbia suffered over an 11 Billion dollar economic loss, in one year, to destructive climate chaos, on top of the necessary spending to restore multiple bridges, kilometers of highways, which will be be paid through taxes.

They also lost six hundred people to heat death on the floors of their homes that year.

Some of your impatient acquaintances like to talk taxes right?
