PM announced #TransMountain pipeline would be built ‘no matter what’ & admitted on camera it was a ‘deal’ w/ Alberta. Then proceeded to ‘consult’. Now Court has said that ‘consultation’ was ‘adequate’ despite outstanding concerns & opposition from First Nations #cdnpoli THREAD 1/
Canada is broken. We claim to be pursuing reconciliation with indigenous peoples but instead we are forcing them to court or to the blockades if they disagree. 2/
This decision is heartbreaking. The @tsleilwaututh & @SquamishNation have been working tirelessly to get our country to acknowledge their rights and the climate science, risks of oil spills & other safety & health risks.our refusal to listen to them weakens our Nation. 4/

Let’s get something straight about fossil fuel phase-out: renewables needn’t replace all the coal, oil and gas we use today bc most of it is just used to produce and move those fossil fuels around!

We only need to replace the useful energy: 37% of what we currently produce 🫨🧵
Just want to emphasize this. Fossil fuels are only 37% efficient.

In other words, 63% of the oil, gas, and coal we extract goes to waste in the production, refinement, and transportation processImage
Moving fossil fuels around is responsible for 45% of shipping traffic globally. That’s $42 billion per year on moving fossil fuels (mostly LNG) around 🤯 🫠 🫣

🧵 What we have been seeing in the #cop28 negotiations can be summarized as the good, the bad, and the ugly. 1/6 Image
The good: many countries have had strong statements in support of a phase out of fossil fuels in line with science and the 1.5ºC target, and a full phase out of fossil fuel subsidies. 2/6
The bad: terms like 'phase down', 'unabated' and 'inefficient'. These are not just terms, it's a tactic being used by the fossil fuel industry to ensure that they can continue to grow production despite clear science on the need for *absolute* emissions & production decline. 3/6

🚨💀Lethal heat, heat extremes beyond human experience just some of the terrifying terms and definitions in new research just out by scientists at Penn State & Perdue.🧑‍🔬

Climate change will expose billions to heat & humidity so extreme their bodies simply cannot cope.

🧵 1/19
They took new “survivability limit” measurements for heat and humidity, and combined those with climate models.

The results are profoundly disturbing. Humanity is *much* more vulnerable than we previously thought.

2/19
There’s a limit to what the human body can handle.

“Uncompensable heat stress” happens when it’s no longer possible to cool down. Core body temperature rises continuously.

This is already happening in some places but will increase dramatically as we breach 2°C or 3°C.

No a carbon tax won’t stop wildfires but it helps. Let me spell out the connection for you. Close to 90% of the emissions trapped in our atmosphere causing climate change are from oil, gas and coal. 🧵#cdnpoli
These pollutants trapped in our atmosphere creating a blanket that smothers the earth. This in turn heats up the earth causing extreme weather, flooding, droughts and yes more extreme and frequent wildfires. 2/
Numerous scientific reports have warned of a surge in severity and frequency of wildfires due to climate change 3/ nytimes.com/2022/02/23/cli…

Debunked!

Exxon Mobile claims carbon capture tech can wipe its excessive emissions clean. But that's a dirty ploy to keep expanding fossil fuels in a world on fire (and get even more subsidisies to do it.) 🧵 Image
See for yourself. Even the oil giant's own sustainability report indicates how inflated and fantastical these claims are. Carbon capture (in red) nowhere near compensates for rising ad reckless fossil fuel emissions. Image
CCS is a delay tactic used to ramp up production. It does nothing to reduce the 80-90% of emissions generated from a barrel of oil downstream at the customer end. It does nothing to capture other pollutants. nationalobserver.com/2022/09/27/opi…

Let me get this straight.

Oil companies are raking in billions in profits that they're using to lobby govs into funding more oil projects that will make higher profits (and kill us all) and we’re still inviting them to climate negotiations to be *checks notes* ...realistic??? 🧵
In my reality, here on Earth, the planet is rapidly warming because of fossil fuel emissions and we’re running out of time to fix it. We need strong action to transition to 100% renewables.

The oil companies themselves won’t get us there. Just look at their track record.
Big Oil has raked in billions in the past year while the rest of us were weighed down by rising costs of food, energy, and housing. They’ve profited off an affordability crisis, proving the only thing that matters to them is their bottom line.
