Technically the Inuit aren't considered part of the First Nations. Something about them coming after the land bridge was gone (which I can't figure out how this is possible. High-tech kayaks? *shrug*), but yeah honourary Canadians. :)
Everyone's liable, but I guess that those who are actively trying to do something about it are at least lesser culprits than the rest. After all, the whole idea of climate change isn't very old. When I was a kid it was all about pollution, which helped cause climate change. We didn't know that; all we knew is that it was bad for our lungs and caused diseases. This is so, so much worse.
Wouldn't it be nice to have a parallel universe somewhere which is doing it right?
A parallel universe, hmm. We'd have to pick our inhabitants carefully. Here's a preliminary list:
David Suzuki Stéphane Dion (he even has a dog named Kyoto) Al Gore Me You patchfire because I don't go anywhere without her. topaz7 for her love for the spotted owls and the ability to discuss politics endlessly without gagging songdog because she's my sister and all cool and environmental. mr_t00by, who is maybe even more environmentally inclined than his mother. A bunch more of our flist(s) Benton Fraser. Yeah, he's fictional. I do not care. They need cops, and besides, you just know he recycles. Ina May Gaskin, because people will be having babies, y0. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
