Here's something that's not talked about enough

The air pollution from burning fossil fuels kills an estimated 10 million people a year

1 in 6 deaths is caused by fossil fuels

Not a good look, @scotiabankctr.bsky.social.
Financing the destruction of the Amazon for oil and gas in the middle of an accelerating #climate and biodiversity crisis.
Not a good look at all.
@forourkidscanada.bsky.social
Since 2016, big banks have directly financed over $15 billion to oil and gas operations in the Amazon rainforest — fueling human rights violations, environmental destruction, and climate chaos. 🧵

Really educational post on fascism today & how it presents in today's #politics from Charlie Angus.
Time to drop some f bombs and talk about the face of gangster fascism.
Gone are the grey uniforms and goose-steps in are the baseball caps and botox.
But the fascist playbook is redefining politics. We need to call it out.
This is my latest.

The president said, in a televised speech, that he's sending his new, less restrained, more violent military into US cities to practice their brutality on immigrants and minorities, to better train them to apply that brutality to other countries.

He said this out loud.

We met with Liberal MPs this week to push for a Youth Climate Corps in the 2025 budget. A YCC could create tens of thousands of good jobs for young people tackling the climate crisis.

We need to know what we're up against. Listen to this excellent interview with the authors of a new book on #climate obstruction from @drilledmedia.bsky.social. Very relevant to those of us in the petro-state of so-called Canada. Looking forward to reading it.
If you're a @drilledmedia.bsky.social listener you know I think social scientists are key sources if we want to understand why governments haven't acted on climate. So imagine my nerd delight to get my hands on an incredible new batch of research on climate obstruction. drilled.media/podcasts/dri...

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.”

Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability & quality of life.

Common sense.

Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.
Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change.

Tens of thousands in 70+ communities across Canada took to the streets in an unprecedented & historic cross-movement mobilisation to #DrawtheLine and demand Mark Carney & the federal government pick a side: injustice, violence, and climate destruction — or a just and safe future for all of us.✊

At the UN Climate Summit today, many of Canada's allies will reaffirm & strengthen their commitment to climate action—but PM Carney will be notably absent.

Amid increasing uncertainty over this government's climate approach, we need to know: is Canada in, or out?

PRESS RELEASE - 1/Today, CAPE and 16 organizations with labour unions, Indigenous clean-energy leaders, doctors, faith groups, climate activists, electrical workers and municipal councillors are calling on the federal government to build a renewable east-west electricity grid for Canada.
Couldn’t be more proud to stand alongside 17 allied organizations on Parliament Hill this week calling for an East-West grid based on renewables + respect for workers’ and Indigenous rights

A message from the Deputy Mayor of The Hague to Toronto's Mayor, @oliviachow.bsky.social
For our collective health and a #climate safe future, let's ban the promotion of polluting fossil fuels.
@climatefast.bsky.social @seniorsfcan.bsky.social @350canada.bsky.social @davidsuzukifdn.bsky.social
Cities around the world are banning fossil fuel ads. Toronto could become the first Canadian city to follow suit, but their draft policy isn't strong enough. Tell Toronto city council to take a bolder stand to protect our health: https://loom.ly/TlsXPlA
It's time for Toronto to lead on #climate and ban #fossilfuel ads, @oliviachow.bsky.social
Promoting fossil fuel dependence harms public health and undermines our TransformTO #climate plan.
Let's join 45 other cities and ban fossil ads.
@climatefast.bsky.social @seniorsfcan.bsky.social
🚨Time is running out! 🚨 Tell Toronto city council: the fossil fuel industry driving the climate crisis shouldn't be permitted to promote its polluting products on city-owned property. https://loom.ly/TlsXPlA

Yep, you heard that right... Republican lawmakers are complaining that Canada is ruining their summer.

Instead of blaming arson and poor forest management, let's address the elephant in the room: the FOSSIL FUEL INDUSTRY.

Let's hold them accountable >> act.gp/4lZqEGQ
