   Simple: we made the world hotter. Turned our forests into increasingly effective wildfire fuel which means more towns & cities are in increasingly grave danger. Means we breathe more (and more toxic) smoke because of it. Longer we avoid addressing it, worse it gets. /13

     With nary a #ThoughtsAndPrayers for the victims of #Jasper & a hearty wink/nod to the Great #CarbonCapture Boondoggle, it's abundantly clear Canada's largely foreign-owned #BigOil companies don't care how much of Canada burns. We'll have to stop them. You get that right? /22

     Speaking of walking #Climate disasters you really have to perform #Olympic-level somersaults not to mention Climate at all in this article but David Staples is indeed a man who can perform somersaults in his longterm role of NOT covering the greatest challenge of our time /20

     Speaking of #Jasper's #TeachableMoments quite a lot of Canada's national media are #climate disasters all on their own. This is an actual #GlobeAndMail headline 🙃

     The Climate equivalent of one of Canada's supposed top newspapers advising lung cancer victims to not quit smoking, just get more exercise. Disastrously bad stuff. The best that can be said about it is it's behind a paywall so at least nobody will read it /19

     Always known/preventable but there was just too much $ to be made by our richest people, industries & their gov lackeys. That's who needs to pay for it all if, like me, you don't think it should be the taxpayer, who's paid the ENTIRE bill thus far. /18

     Beware of politicians cynically co-opting things like #JasperStrong, especially if their only climate "policy" is #AxeTheTax. It's like #ThoughtsAndPrayers from NRA-funded US politicians after mass-shootings. Ask instead how they'll turn the heat down. /17

     Canada (yes even Alberta) has a strong majority supporting #ClimateAction but we don't act like a majority. We'll have to if we want our leaders to work for our interests rather than their already very rich friends. How many more #Jaspers do YOU want to see, let alone pay for? /16

     The fix to this, the wickedest of problems we've ever faced, is simple too: #TaxTheBillionaires & #SueBigOil. Every cent we'll ever need is right there for the taking. No, really. They lied to us about it, they made gobs of $ on it, we're on fire so now they gotta pay. Easy /14 https://www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-adventure/environment/suing-fossil-fuel-companies/
