Explain why they’re not supporting climate change prevention measures with every fibre of their being; instead, they seem to overwhelmingly vote to ignore the problem.
Isolation from the rest of society leads people to echo chambers because of a lack of diversity in ideas.
Think of it as opinion inbreeding.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Compared to urban dwellers, rural Canadians are more vulnerable to climate change in many ways and face extra challenges to adaptation, says a new federal government report.
Ashlee Cunsolo, a Memorial University researcher who co-authored the report, said rural and remote communities actually have many lessons to offer other parts of Canada.
Cunsolo has been working with Inuit communities in northern Labrador and across the North for more than a decade, looking at the ways climate change is impacting both physical and mental well-being.
Dr. Kyle Merritt is a family physician who heads the emergency department at the Kootenay Lake Hospital in Nelson, B.C., a small community in the Selkirk Mountains that relies heavily on forestry and tourism.
He said over time, many health services for his community have been centralized in the bigger urban centre of Kelowna, more than four hours drive away, and the local hospital no longer even has its own intensive care unit.
But it also includes improvements in telemedicine to make virtual medical appointments more interactive, and cultural learning and wellness programs within communities for those who can’t get out on the land safely.
