The best case is what we need to keep fighting for, sadly we are headed towards the worst case.

I suspect that the actual worst case scenario isn’t captured here, and that it’s beyond imagination. Climate change is going to be a major driving force in society and the survival of humankind, and it’s not going be pretty. I suspect we will face some other type of existential threat like a major global infertility crisis or pandemic or war or similar.

We are well on our way to the worst case scenario. Halifax has lost 87% of the original buildings. What some call progress has led to this destruction of heritage and culture. Halifax is looking more like a gulag everyday. The infilling and waterfront property walls on the Northwest Arm are creating water flow problems, and those that don’t understand physics are blaming it on climate change. The same thing is happening in the Bedford Basin with the infilling the city and province are ignoring. The willfulness to look the other way as long as someone is making money will continue to be Halifax’s downfall.
