.@AmyG_Standearth kicks-off grounding us in how @TotalEnergies' EACOP risks harming the lives & livelihoods of millions.

"This is not just a climate issue. This is a climate justice issue." 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
While @TotalEnergies & those attempting to push through EACOP claim it will benefit local communities, a majority of the fossil oil of the world's largest proposed pipeline would be for export.😡

‼️ BC judge denies application to extend injunction at Fairy Creek ‼️

Amazing news for all the forest defenders who continue to stand for old growth and for justice at Ada’itsx @SaveFairyCreek 👏 #FairyCreek #bcpoli cbc.ca/news/canada/br…
In his ruling, Justice Thompson says “methods of enforcement of the court's order have led to serious and substantial infringement of civil liberties, including impairment of the freedom of the press to a marked degree” #FairyCreek
Of forest defenders, the Justice says: “They are respectful, intelligent, and peaceable by nature. They are good citizens in the important sense that they care intensely about the common good” 👏💯 #FairyCreek bccourts.ca/jdb-txt/sc/21/…

Ever heard that Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is a climate-friendly fuel? Well, you’ve been sold a lie. LNG, made up of methane, is one of the fastest growing threats to our climate. RT to expose the truth about #LNG. #bcpoli #cdnpoli
Didn't think we'd need to say this, but the responses we're getting on this tweet really prove our point: the fossil fuel industry has done a great job convincing the public that "natural gas" is good. It's not. Read more here: vox.com/energy-and-env…
In B.C., methane emissions amounted to an estimated 8.8 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2017, according to the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy. That’s equal to 1,724,724 vehicles on the road for one year. Read more: thenarwhal.ca/climate-change…

The BC government announced a stimulus package today containing less than half the recommended funds to address climate change.

The west coast is burning. BC is choking on smoke. Maybe we should listen to the science on climate change? 🙃 #bcpoli

“I am disappointed that Premier @jjhorgan would ignore the recommendations of their own handpicked advisory body on climate.” - @Tzeporah

The Climate Solutions Council recommended at least $500M be committed to climate mitigation and adaptation. BC fell far short, under 50%.
“The BC Government will still spend more in 2020 on fossil fuel subsidies than they do on their entire plan to fight climate change.” - @svenbiggs

A recent report from Stand found @jjhorgan’s government increased fossil fuel subsidies by 79% compared to the Clark government.

Today an explosive new report on old growth recommended immediate logging deferrals for the most at-risk old forests across BC. So far, the BC government’s response has left most of those areas on the chopping block.

Our full release: stand.earth/latest/forest-…
BC has yet more evidence for the need to defend old forests, and a clear path for next steps. Today’s announcement from the province shows they have a ways to go before we can be sure they are adhering to those recommendations. We need more deferrals for at-risk old growth, ASAP.
BC announced a large deferral area in Clayoquot Sound, and while a significant portion of this area was already protected, it is an important step forward. The visionary leadership of Indigenous Nations is advancing an inspiring future for their people, land & waters.
