Yesterday was the International Day of Action on Climate Change. In Ottawa, cold weather kept the crowd from hitting the 5,000 people that organizers hoped. About 500 people showed up. In Calgary, a snowstorm dumped wet heavy snow on the city. On Google, unlike past climate change events, there was not a special logo created. On the front pages of major newspapers across Canada the major stories were not about the looming climate crisis.It's hard to get excited about global warming when there's a wet, heavy snow falling and it's only October.
In Winnipeg, about 200 people made it to a rally at the Manitoba Legislature. In Vancouver, a city steeped in protest, the crowd was estimated at 5000. Across Canada interest in the day of action appeared less than ever.
Could it be that the fire is smoldering out on the issue of climate change? Maybe in an era where ever shorter attention spans want to shift to other topics the climate issue has had its "ten minutes of fame"?

That's the story coming out of Canada:

Finally! People are getting tired of the global warming hoax and realizing that it nothing but a lie. Just look outside the window and you'll see the proof. I wish I was there at those protest to laugh those people in the face. Don't they see it by now?
Take care, Julie
