   "Much of the reluctance to do what #ClimateChange requires comes from the assumption that it means trading abundance for #austerity, and trading all our stuff and conveniences for less stuff, less convenience. But what if it meant giving up things we’re well rid of, from deadly #emissions to nagging feelings of doom and complicity in destruction?

   What if the austerity is how we live now — and the #abundance could be what is to come?"

     More #framing
     Our currently comfortable lives are an illusion. It's time to wake up.

     "As our region grieves, responds and starts to reconstruct after #Gabrielle, many are feeling a deeper unsettlement, a #Matrix-like wake-up call where you realise the world we lived in was based on assumptions that no longer stand."

     With a clean #energy economy, #Canada could see 700,000 more #jobs than in today's #FossilFuel based economy. This country needs to get itself out of its current #austerity.

     Yes, oil jobs will be lost: those are dirty, dangerous jobs. Let them be replaced with cleaner safer jobs.

     Of course, "The #FossiFuel industry is really winding up the scare campaign in the face of increasingly urgent calls to accelerate the switch from #coal, #gas and #oil to a #CleanEnergy future."

     They're telling lies, trying to cover up the fact that we're living the dystopia today, burning stuff that causes asthma, cancer, wildfires and floods.

     Is there "hope"?
     Yes, there is. It can be found in your #climate action.

     "Youra has advice for those who are suffering from the same sort of #fatalism that he once felt. “Stop engaging excessively with negative #ClimateChange content online and start engaging in your #community,” he said. “You can be one of those voices showing there is support for the #solutions.” "
