@BradyStrachan thanks for coverage of hard working Kelowna firefighters some lost their homes in August 2023. Could you do similar coverage on North Shuswap, where our volunteer fire fighters faced that beast, and also lost own homes including the Scotch Creek fire hall itself ?

These videos from @DavidSuzukiFDN debunking the false messaging from the LNG industry are SO good. Take action here: https://t.co/x52bJ1D2ot

URGE @LloydsofLondon @AIG to stop insuring the fossil fuel industry and put their full weight behind transitioning to clean energy. Here’s the link: https://t.co/Tkxf2dIZdM

Approving Rosebank is a horrific decision.

It's in the exact opposition direction to what we need.

It's an act of environmental vandalism.

Humanity has now impacted every part of the Earth System

Atmospheric carbon dioxide ⏫ >50% and methane ⏫ >150% since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution

We have warmed the planet by 1.2˚C

All due to capitalism, colonialism and global consumer culture.

"Removing carbon from the atmosphere is costly and uncertain. We must do everything possible to stop putting it there in the first place."
Well said!

I just signed a petition calling on @TransLink and @BCTransit to ban fossil fuel advertising. #FossilFuels are a harmful product. If #BigTobacco isn't allowed to advertise, why is #BigOil and Gas? #fracking https://t.co/9Nv0MHJfsp via @leadnowca

@standearth @FortisBC Remove Fortis as a sponsor--conflict of interest----cheers

@standearth @FortisBC RNG is not a viable option, being another methane gas. Air source heat pumps readily-available, far more efficient source of energy than gas can ever be - and is safe for the climate. My heat pump great all winter and during this summer heat-I literally cannot live without it.

[J Brook @BrookTerrific]

@standearth @FortisBC Yes! https://t.co/dz3A8coGOH. We all need to move to Emission Level 4 of Zero Carbon Step Code, the quicker the better. And having oil and gas companies participate and delay the implementation, is not helping. No more sponsorship of this type at political events!!

[Stand.earth @standearth]

@FortisBC We were also excited to connect with local leaders at #UBCM23 last week. We heard a request from many for clear, unbiased information about how to meet B.C.’s climate targets by decarbonizing buildings, so we obliged with our own open letter. #ActOnClimate https://t.co/IKieVtTNg9

[Bill McKibben @billmckibben]

As fires continue to burn out of control, a senior Canadian official argued for weakening environmental targets because...we need oil for bike chains.

Mayor Sim and @Vote4ABC just voted down my motion to extend temporary modular housing leases to prevent more people from becoming homeless. 😳

It’s infuriating and unacceptable. But I will keep fighting for secure, dignified housing. And a #Vancouver for all of us. #VanPoli

June, 2023: hottest month ever recorded
July 1 - 7, 2023: hottest week ever recorded
July 7, 2023: hottest day ever recorded

The average temperature is up 0.3 degrees since 2016.

We need to end fossil fuels before it's too late.

Another great edition of the Climate Panel with @Melissa_Lem & @janellelapointe on The Early Edition with Stephen Quinn: Surging wildfires and B.C.'s climate tax credit. Give it a listen: https://t.co/HqGv2d6Wau

[Seth Klein @SethDKlein]

Many more people need to understand that the #ClimateCrisis doesn't just manifest in extreme heat, fire and floods -- among its most disruptive impacts will be to our food and water systems. This is what it looks like 👇

[J Brook @BrookTerrific]

@jmocurran Yes, totally agree - as a wise person said, you are entitled to your own opinion, but you are NOT entitled to your own facts !!
