Ask HN: Is it wrong for Canadians to enjoy a mild winter due to climate change?
Or maybe it is only wrong to say so in a public forum?

- smoldesu 4y agoI'm not sure what you're getting at here. Having lived in Michigan most my life, I can attest that climate change has only made winter weather worse; it's now more violent and less predictable than ever. It's been 5 or 6 years since I've gone a winter without losing power. IMO, it seems like you're jumping a lot of conclusions to get to a semi-interesting question. Can you indirectly enjoy the benefits of climate change? Maybe, but the problems far outweigh whatever benefits there might be (in my experience).
- getToTheChopin 4y agoI'm enjoying the hell out of our mild winter so far in Montreal. -40c with windchill? No thanks.
- markus_zhang 4y agoYeah this winter has been particularly warm except for November. I expect larger snow storms in late Jan and Feb though as from experience they will bite back after the warm periods.
- h2odragon 4y agoYes, and for the sin of feeling good about something you should administer daily self punishment of 12 strokes with a whip. This will assure your moral superiority over your friends and neighbors, as well as providing valuable exercise.
- nullish_signal 4y agoIs it wrong to ask questions containing Loaded Assumptions, due to Liberalism?
