what stage of climate crisis is all road infrastructure being washed away?

#BCStorm #bcflooding #bcpoli #ClimateEmergency #ClimateActionNow

[EcoGothsOnly @Over9000Jon]

so coquahalla is gone and transcanada is gone so that leaves highway 3 which had a mudslide but is possibly still in tact

on the island the malahat is partially washed out and needs geotech and is gone north of duncan at mt sicker

so bc is currently nearly 100% out of highways

Two-Spirit (trans people) predate non-Native settler-invaders and their transphobic religious rhetoric, on this continent, by thousands of years.

A small step, and a small victory but CBC's language guide now advises to use the spellings of proper nouns used by Indigenous communities... in their own languages.

For example: Kahnawà:ke rather than Kahnawake.

Honestly, the fact that I say things like “wear your clothes as long as possible, wash them properly, don’t overuse laundry detergent, don’t use dryer sheets, don’t do hauls,” and ppl will still scream shows the real issue - for a lot of folks - is not wanting to change ANYTHING.

[Cristina Rivera Garza @criveragarza]

The manuscript I’m reading argues we don’t read a book for character or setting or plot “but for the quality of the atmosphere, and if we return to the book, it would be in order to breathe that air again.” And I wholeheartedly agree. The air. The breathing. The again.

slowly reading through some of the internal documents that oil executives were forced to turn over to congressional investigators and the honesty on display here is wild 1/

Here's the reality of homelessness in #MetroVan:

# of people without housing: 2,095 (2020)
# of vacant homes: 61,213 (2021)

All homeless people could be housed and there'd still be 59,118 vacant homes.

This is not a #HousingCrisis this is a class crisis #DTES

When government consults on climate change, Big Oil always shows up. Now it's our chance to help shape Canada's climate policy. The Environment Minister's public consultation closes Jan 14th.

Our fragile planet is hanging by a thread.

Every fraction of a degree warming matters.

We need maximum ambition – from all countries on all fronts – to keep the 1.5 degree warming goal of the #ParisAgreeement alive.

It's time to go into emergency mode.

Beyond despicable.
