There are 28 fossil fuel lobbyists from 🇨🇦 at #COP29Baku. I’m quite sure that number doesn’t include the biggest Canadian booster of coal, oil and gas on site - Alberta Environment Minister Rebecca Schulz. I can’t believe we’re having this conversation in 2024. @CAPE_ACME

COP 29 is a fossil fuel scam For 30 years the UN COP Climate Conferences have failed to deliver meaningful change. They have served as a ‘talking shop’ with the big polluters given seats at the top table to cast doubt over the sciences and delay meaningful action. 1/12

Yes, put this on the damages list for when oil and gas is sued for all the future damages, death and destruction to come from their emissions. Like Big Tobacco getting their due. @bcpoli @ElizabethMay @CAPE_ACME @_CANE_BC @PPSTMX1 @ProfKHarrison @pro

This future morbidity from fracked methane is preventable. The financiers, businesses and politicians who profit from gas need to turn off the spigot and do the right thing for the planet and future gens! @CAPE_ACME @_CANE_BC @PHA_BC @bcpoli @ElizabethMay @Dave_Eby @PPSTMX1

New West council voted last night to Sue Big Oil. 10th city in BC to join class action. Need a wave across the land to sweep away these purveyors of destruction. ❤️ with folks in my hometown of Asheville, NC, devasted by nearly a meter of rain in 3 d.

There appears to be no plan to meet Canada’s Paris climate commitments as we sent another 550,000 barrels of oil out to the world today. SHAME!
