Or it's Marxist. Depends on which direction the polar vortex is blowing — frank
I'm astounded at how these climate crisis radicals refuse to acknowledge how essentially racist and sexist they actually are. — Merkwurdichliebe
Are they? — frank

A 2 degree C. increase in temperature is equivalent to perhaps 1000 km move towards the pole, — unenlightened
A 2 degree C. increase in temperature is equivalent to perhaps 1000 km move towards the pole, and most plants cannot move that far in a few decades. — unenlightened

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_ShieldThe Canadian Shield (French: Bouclier canadien [buklje kanadjɛ̃]), also called the Laurentian Plateau, is a geologic shield, a large area of exposed Precambrian igneous and high-grade metamorphic rocks. It forms the North American Craton (or Laurentia), the ancient geologic core of the North American continent. Glaciation has left the area with only a thin layer of soil, through which exposures of igneous bedrock resulting from its long volcanic history are frequently visible.
