My email to @Dave_Eby and @KahlonRav on short-term rentals below
My simple solution:
◾️Ban short-term rentals for a defined period
◾️Increase minimum fines to $25,000 per offence
◾️Hold hosts and platforms accountable
I encourage others to email them to express your views too

These are real scientists protesting. There's almost no one in the media speaking up passionately about this - apart from those you'd expect - so I cant see how we have any hope of saving ourselves. Most people are choosing the collapse pathway through apathy. It is what it is.

According to the IEA, no new oil and gas projects can be approved if we want to limit warming to less than 1.5C.
But countries around the world are still approving hundreds of projects.

Got a letter in the Vancouver Sun. "What is the point having a provincial climate plan with an ambitious VKT reduction target if municipalities and the media just pretend it does not exist?" vancouversun.com/opinion/let… #bcpoli #cleanbc #vanpoli

In a biodiversity crisis there is no acceptable rationale to spray poison onto growing forests to suppress life for corporate benefit.

It's time to stop kidding ourselves that the people in charge are protecting the environment, ecology and the social contract. When they make decisions like this in light of the current scientific evidence - who are they deciding policy for? theguardian.com/us-news/2023…

Porto is one of my favorite cities. I'm figuring out how to meaningfully help the #ClimateCrisis
Hope others will do so too!
Porto, Portugal. The worlds climate is destabilising. Scientists are screaming at us that it threatens our ability to grow enough food and we may permanently collapse human civilisation. Please RT, educate your friends and family and demand action youtu.be/EOctIuyVfnA
"Why should they save money while other low paid workers have to go in the office?" Reads to me as putting ppl in same boat.
When I read your thread it comes across as everyone should be back in office bc not everyone can.

An incomplete 🧵 on extreme weather events in 2022. Reminder: This is at 1.2C heating. We are on track for 1.5C by 2030, 2C by 2050, over 3C by 2100, and 10C long-term. Oh yeah - and 96% of oil and gas companies are EXPANDING operations.

Climate and nature collapse is terrifying. Anyone who has ever been caught up in a flood or wildfire will tell you. That’s why almost everyone agrees that we need action on climate… but it just isn’t happening. Which is why young people are resorting to pretty desperate measures

Of the 33 million people people displaced due to the floods in Pakistan, many are living In shanty towns, their only belongings; sacks of clothes. They are being forced to survive on 2-3 cups of tea a day. It's so painful to know that it hasn't even been a week & the world forgot

Everyone in the global North is also crying today because at least 33 million people in Pakistan remain displaced by monsoon flooding related to anthropogenic climate change, right? Right?

I’m angry with a lot of people today, but a special shout out to the Democrats who didn’t vote for @HillaryClinton because they didn’t like her

No one will ever convince me that Clark, Coleman and the gang did not financially benefit off their many real estate deals in this time of money laundering.
How Cullen was able to reach this conclusion is bizarre.
