Have you heard about the mega El Niño of the 1790s? This is prior to the advent or discovery of modern global warming starting in the late 1970s. Historically, rapid shifts to El Niño from La Niña have devastated humanity e.g. 4% of Earth's population in late 1870s. Indeed, if the ongoing climate-fueled El Niño and record warm temperatures from 2023-24 had the same impacts as 150 years ago, then 400 million humans would die from starvation due to drought and crop failures. Yet that hasn't happened. Why isn't El Niño any longer an existential threat to human society? We've become exponentially more adapted to our current climate variability in the past 2 centuries.

This video is actually very indicative of the ‘original sin’ ideology behind Eby’s radical reconciliation policies. He’s explicit that the Declaration Act (DRIPA/UNDRIP) is about “correcting [the] original colonial mistake” and that “it works for First Nations, it works for the provincial government…” but unmentioned is whether it works for British Columbians. If the BC government isn’t looking out for the broader public interest, who is?
