I don't see any of the pinned posts in your post or comment history. While I agree on the urgency of addressing climate change and agree that we need to substantially increase the speed of our deployment of renewables, it's completely reasonable for someone to ask for sources.
We need MORE fact checking, not less. When someone asks me for sources, I'm THRILLED to share with them, because that is someone who is interested and thinking critically. It's someone I can have a dialogue with.

You dont see any pinned posts?
Why not?
You can't see a comment history?
How come?

You dont have to fact check Canada's forest fires.
All the fire posts have links, most of them to ciffc.ca.
If we need to fact check the Forest Fire Catastrophe, and you're Canadian, I have to ask where are your lungs?
Do you really not know about the 18 million hectares of forests burned into their roots?

I went to your Lemmy profile, nothing there.
Thanks for providing the link - but I think that you should have posted it here instead of responding with derision.
@potate
You are insulting people on a social you arent using? Can't use?
Please block.me.
@potate
It frightens me that a Canadian says they dont know about the 160,000 Square Kilometres of Burn in 2023
This is how much burned in 2023.
Everything under the square is burned to the roots. Including the black lines.
I'm assuming you meant to include an image here?
I live through the smoke every year, and have had to retrofit a ton of of air filters into my home. Believe me, I know - I live and play in the areas that are burning. But someone asking for a reference is a GOOD thing and responding dismissively doesn't sway people to better understand, it turns them off of your message.
