I'll be live tweeting the debate on this motion.

As a third party we haven't been given the opportunity to be on the speakers list for the motion. #bcpoli #ClimateCrisis #LNG #oilandgas
Debate on #LNG motion begins with BC Liberal MLA Mike Bernier suggesting that BC LNG can “help” with the transition away from coal.
LNG is not a transition fuel. The methane emissions from #fracking intensify the #ClimateEmergency
MLA Bernier states “we are losing billions in investment.”

No mention of billions in subsidies to prop up oil and gas industry.

Climate change is already costing billions.

Consider the costs of wildfires, droughts, floods.

The rain event that flooded Lismore collapsed landscapes.
It shattered hillsides. Roads broke apart and fell down valleys.
Hillsides fell on houses.

This thread gives a glimpse of the cost of inaction on #ClimateDisruption

1/
For every 1°C of #GlobalWarming, the atmosphere holds an additional 7% water vapour. The extra heat (energy) means more extreme events.

On Tuntable Creek Rd, a neighbour measured 810mm. That’s 32 inches.

This is our road.

These impacts are across the whole Northern Rivers.
This is a landscape collapse event.
The word ‘flood’ does not describe what happened here.

BREAKING: New report reveals that #Facebook is systematically spreading #climatedenial across its platform bit.ly/fbclimatemisin….

Please read and share the report, but THREAD 🧵 of findings below (1/9)
(2/9) Our 40-page review summarises over 100 academic studies, empirical reports and journalistic investigations. It finds that Facebook has been failing on all fronts when it comes to preventing #climatemisinformation
(3/9) Total disclosure - this was initially an internal document that we were never planning on publishing. But once we put all the evidence together, it felt overwhelming, and that we had a duty to release it to the public.

So what are Facebook doing? Or not doing?

@DisInfoChron We discuss @JunkScience who I caught in the @industrydocs flacking for tobacco, while he was a science columnist at Fox News disinformationchronicle.substack.com/p/naomi-oreske…
Milloy, you still taking tobacco money?! /2
@DisInfoChron @JunkScience @industrydocs Dr. Fred Seitz was President of Rockefeller University and was head National Academies of Science. He was also a tobacco consultant and climate denialist.

Doug Ford’s gas pump stickers hid an uglier truth link.medium.com/LaQbw5g4Lab #onpoli #climatedenial #stickers #ClimateChange
2. It started as a comedy - who among us didn't laugh as the (misleading) anti-carbon tax stickers literally came unstuck due to cheap glue? I mean, what does Doug 'Deco Labels and Tags' Ford know about stickers anyway?
3. Then it morphed into a satire of the courtroom procedural, as the Ford government’s expert witness tried to defend not including any info on the rebates on the grounds that Ontarians are too stupid to grasp anything more complicated than a bumper sticker slogan

The @BrownUniversity @climatedevlab is investigating 10 #utilities historically dedicated to #climatedenial and opposing #climateaction. (1/8)
These companies are part of a tight-knit historical cohort of #coal #rail and #utility companies, three carbon-intensive industries that have driven the extraction, transportation, generation of American #dirtyenergy. (2/8)
Our research found that many of the same large coal & rail companies have been doing business with the profiled utilities — again & again. (3/8)

1. When the polar ice is melted, Florida will be erased.

But we could see a 10 meter rise in a century with the help of anti-science #Trump & his #ClimateDenial Republicans pushing a high carbon & methane agenda. What would that look like?

2. When the polar ice is melted, Florida will be erased.

But this is #Florida with only a 10 meter rise in sea level. Be sure to thank the Republicans.

3. When the polar ice is melted, Florida will be erased, but this a Florida our grandkids could see.

People in the Keys are already packing their bags. I have just enough time to go see them while we still have them. #RoadTrip
