There are some bright spots in 🇨🇦's emissions report, including decoupling of economic growth from GHGs.
But we need an Emissions Cap more than ever. Oil and gas now make up 31% of 🇨🇦's emissions!

Are we still doing #FollowFriday #FF ?
If so check out some of the people to whom I am grateful for the tweeting and reporting from #INB9 in Geneva these last two weeks and that allowed us who are not in town to still keep up with the frantic pace of the #PandemicAccord …
Advocacy + communications training + learning by doing 🙌🏻 Madhu Pai, MD, PhD
“there are too many know-do gaps in global and public health. Good communication, advocacy, and diplomacy can help bridge some of the know-do gaps, and give public health students skills to become change-makers”
“You need to have a solution.
But a lot of advocacy I see is complaining.
Unless you have a solution you’re not serious.” Cindy Blackstock

Huge 🙏 to Stephen Huddart for inspired moderating.

The new TMX pipeline is now operating, triggering a major increase in tankers in Burrard Inlet.
But a credible emergency response plan to protect human health + safety if a major oil spill happens in Vancouver’s Burrard Inlet does not exist.

BC is not prepared to protect public health or the ecosystem if a TMX tanker spills in Vancouver. We know such accidents happen and how devastating they are. No more tankers on our coast! @CAPE-ACME CANE ACIIE Protect the Planet John Vaillant Elizabeth May vicnews.com/news/vancouver….
First they ignore you, then they mock you, then they start an industry-aligned astroturf group to fight you.
Don’t be fooled, BC! Gas is bad news for our climate and our health.
