Merry Christmas! Happy Hanukkah! Oh, Uncle Jeff is bringing up climate change and starting to spread misinformation. It's enough to suck the Merry right out of any room. RESPONSES TO HELP YOU DEBUNK COMMON CLIMATE MYTHS THIS HOLIDAY Despite knowing the truth for over 50 years, fossil fuel companies have been working for decades to muddy the waters on the science of climate change. (1) They paid scientists to publish phony studies and they used the same PR firms the tobacco companies used in the 1950s to confuse people and misrepresent clear science.

It presents challenges to populations in every corner of the globe. Food insecurity and more powerful natural disasters will fuel massive conflicts, migration on a scale never before seen in human history, and political unrest around the world. All of this will shake democracy to its core after we have already seen the emergence of far-right extremism in well-established liberal democracies. This is why it is important to keep tabs on current crises that are both contributing to global warming and hurting local populations. To solve climate change we need to be global thinkers and to be effective global thinkers we must concern ourselves with the plight of people in dire circumstances around the world. The people of Ukraine are desperate and they need our help.

Each chapter of the story reveals a provincial and federal government complicit in industrial pollution and neglectful of its consequences, thus amounting to a clear-cut case of environmental racism.
