We caught up with friends yesterday and they had been contacting BC Parks, asking about why some of the park toilets up north were systematically being removed or boarded up, the answer they got was some bogus excuses, like a tree was close to falling on it(there is no such tree).

After some back and forth they were told that the new people in charge were philosophically opposed to having anyone explore the parks altogether and that they ought to stay home in the cities where they belong.

I fear a lot of people think that as the climate gets worse and more scorching where the heat domes occur, that they can escape the desertification down south by heading north, but what's going to happen is that the north will have long been clear cut down to nothing and so they'll find nothing but a worse desert than the one they're trying to escape from.

@neauoire I know I'm not very far north, but just drove through BC desert & eastern Washington desert this weekend, and I think folks forget that once you get off the coast, its no longer a rainforest.

@neauoire This reminded me of book The Drowned World by J.D. Ballard, it's a great novel slowly becoming reality.

@neauoire that "philosophy" makes the climate worse imho.
