      It means if we want them to stay nice and keep letting us be our own country, we have to fix the effects of climate change without mentioning either its existence or the USA’s massive ongoing contributions to it, while the USA goes on trying to increase fossil fuel use and shut down renewables. Otherwise the USA will say “Look what you made me do!” and annex Canada. In other words, “We’re the USA and we are assholes in more ways than you could possibly imagine.”

        Yeah, so ridiculous.

        Climate change makes it worse, but many countries have to deal with and manage seasonal forest fires including the USA.
