I am concerned to think of all the terrible and just plain wrong information you have been given.
I'm more of a glass-half-full kind of person. I think we should look at it as "Upcoming wildfire season could be best one for the next 50 years".
"Researchers say"
Researchers also say things they pulled out of their ass 90% of the time.
Source: I researched it
OP, I appreciate what you've done here. I lol'd, keep up the good work. A++ would tip again
This is terribly incorrect. Space is not a solution. The amount of energy required to send trash into space is very high and therefore expensive, like ~$5000/kg, and would generate a stupid amount of C02. Watch this video, it gives a great perspective on the scope of the problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Us2Z-WC9rao
Alternatively, the Earth is HUGE. All the garbage ever generated in the history of humankind would fit into a comparatively tiny space. This is obviously a terrible option too, but WAY better than space.
Burning it is also terrible - no matter how good we get the incinerators, they still produce unacceptable levels of dioxins and other chemicals. You are much more likely to get cancer if you live near an incinerator.
The ONLY solution is to stop producing so much plastic.
Was this article written by an insane person?
the current Goldilocks state of the North American economy
What?!
Much of this conflicts with the view, widely expressed in some form by commentators and political leaders of all stripes, that Canadians will benefit if the prices of things like groceries and houses would only go back to the levels they were at in the good old days, say, before the pandemic, so that people could afford them.
....
so that people could afford them.

No shit?
This comment needs to be higher up.
This kind of article isn't news, it's marketing.

It's not the quality of the show or the content that matters. Have you ever put a small child in front of the TV? It's like turning their brains off. To be honest it's quite startling.
It doesn't matter if its "wholesome" content or not - there is a physical decreases of core brain activity as the child disengages from the world.
God this kind of news is so trite. Post again when it's a tech bro deciding to go for a submersible ride.
That kid... is back... on the ESCALATOR!

How fun! Albertans are well known for responding rationally to being told how they should change their behaviour when faced with a large-scale crisis.
