@TalktoARYZE Nooooo! Merry Xmas anyway.

I would never have expected that more than 3,000 people would register for a briefing on health in the climate negotiations. Only 500 places were available, so for any still interested:

We are losing the public w/ endless discussion of esoteric climate policy—output-based pricing, contracts for difference, carbon tax credits … Enough! Thousands of young people are telling us they are ready to serve. For love of God could we just quickly sign these folks up!👇

Hat tip to #yyj local biz programs. 👏

OK, now this is good! The fed NDP have a motion coming forward Tuesday trying to shift the debate caused by the Lib's boneheaded carbon tax carve-out. This motion lays out a far better approach... 🧵👇

We need cheaper, better bus transit in Victoria. Especially if we truly want to reduce costs & car reliance (ie traffic) so take this survey https://t.co/iZxweG5rGS #yyj @BCTransit

Russians collected & dumped out the last Ukrainian books from the Mariupol library. Now the occupiers are opening there a "center of public initiatives" which is the office for recruiting youth into the "young guard" and "young army" movements

Texas is spending 400 times more on roads than what it’s costing to make all of Paris ‘100% cycle-friendly’. But one more lane, right? (@CarlosMorenoFr)

@CBCOnTheCoast excellent interviews this afternoon 👏🏻 Thank you for approaching climate change from so many angles (olive oil to personal financing). Keep going!!

[sarahpvictoria @sarahpvictoria]

We all need to do more to prevent these tragic deaths from happening. It’s just gutting. Literally every one and every agency has to let go of what we think we know and have faith in big swings.

@LindsayTedds Would you really opt to go there at this point, regardless of the wording?

[Randy Small - Whatcom County Weather @RandySmall]

Now the bad news - looks like vertically-integrated smoke models are showing a bigtime dose of wildfire smoke coming in this weekend. PLEASE prepare now for the possibility of smoke even to the surface.

Is this summer’s fire season hasn’t been enough for you to change behaviour as it relates to climate change, what will it take? One easy and impactful thing: take 8 minutes to write your elected officials. Tell them your vote depends on their actions to address climate change.

[Dr Charlie Gardner (also on the blue place) @CharlieJGardner]

1/ You’ve seen the fires
You seen the floods
You’ve read the news reports
You’re scared
And now you want to do something about it

But what? And how?
