Sometimes I think we could achieve greater emissions reductions simply by ending all the hopium research and papers and conferences about what we should do (but are never going to)🤷‍♀️
Everyone needs to quit giving these bozos air time (including you @thetyee.ca) 🤷‍♀️

“The trackable nine million cubic metres of fresh water that the BCER reported the industry used in its fracking operations last year was the “equivalent of the household water needs of 111,530 Canadians.” 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
As drought in B.C.’s Peace River region leads to massive wildfires and the City of Dawson Creek scrambles to find a new water source, a report released today concludes that water use by the region’s fracking industry shot up a record 50% last year.

It's a little too spot on when the NYT The Daily podcast episode about rising fascism in the streets of Chicago is sponsored by the American Petroleum Institute
“the People over Papers map was back online six hours after it was removed from Padlet—this time on its own website, which Celeste’s team has been working on since May and had planned to launch next week. “
