We've done the sciencelet's get on with climate action

huh. TIL: there is a four corners place in Canada, like there is more famously in the USA, where Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico meet.

But ours is automatically cooler, figuratively and literally*, because it is a: at 60 Latitude, and b: involves two Territories and two Provinces.

It is where the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba meet.

It is also a LOT harder to get to. Though arguably, as it is amongst the thousands of lakes in the area, during the summer, a float plane would get you there.

Also, technically. It is not a perfect joining on the map which is just bad planning on Canadas part, but at least it is hiking distance. Or that might be just a projection issue. They seem to converge at 60N 102W. I guess I could consult an official boundary document or something :)

Agricultural (ag) land trusts help mitigate the impacts of climate change by conserving land, protecting natural carbon sinks like forests and grasslands, and providing habitat and wildlife corridors. Agricultural land trusts also promote climate-smart farming practices and permanently protect land from development while also helping ecosystems and communities become more resilient to climate impacts like extreme heat, drought, and flooding.

I mean, the tree planting thing was probably doomed to fail anyhow, considering how flammable these trees are turning out to be with the reality of a rapidly changing climate, but the optics of pulling the plug on carbon mitigation while promising to greenlight a crapton more fossil fuel projects isnt good.
