First it was building electrification – now it's gas station prohibitions. The movement of local #SAFECities taking action to protect the climate and the safety of their residents from fossil fuels is growing. My latest for The @guardian theguardian.com/commentisfre…
So this is wild – @standearth launched this program called Forest Eye that uses satellites to monitor and track old growth logging in B.C.
You can even receive Forest Eye alerts directly to your email and/or phone to help power your advocacy! Sign up ➡️ stand.earth/forest-eye/sign-…

Canada is on fire, and big oil is the arsonist. It’s time to stop pretending we can negotiate with them and start regulating them. @fossiltreaty theguardian.com/commentisfre…

That’s, uh, kind of the point?
We get your business model depends on poisoning people and destroying the global climate, but try and think of others for once.
The largest U.S. oil and gas trade lobby group said on Wednesday it believes sharp emissions cuts proposed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) would result in the elimination of new internal combustion vehicles. reut.rs/3MfYp7s

Inspired. The world needs to listen to @Justinjpearson . I hear you and I will never quit.
A powerful message from @Justinjpearson of the #TennesseeThree, who just joined us on the blockade line at the White House Correspondents Dinner.
“In this fight for justice, we must remain unmovable in our belief in a clean planet!”
That’s right. It’s time to #EndFossilFuels.

YUUUGE news out of California with national ramifications: @AirResources passed the #ACF! This rule was years in the making and will have massive impacts on people's health and the climate. THANK YOU @mslianeran for taking this step to #StopDieselDeath

We are walking off the climate crisis cliff, and not enough people realize it. There is still time to preserve our societies, our way of life, but only if we act decisively and urgently to phase out fossil fuels
Today’s policies would make our world 2.8 degrees hotter by end of the century.
This is a death sentence.
The final fight to limit temperature rise to 1.5 degrees will be won or lost on the watch of the major economies, who are also the major emitters.

We can’t afford to lock in more fossil fuels with another #DirtyDeal. We can build abundant clean energy without handouts to fossil fuels!🌎

Good news: we have the solutions!
Fossil fuel #divestment supports workers, pensions, AND our climate.
We're calling on @theNAMedicine to incorporate divestment into its decarbonization commitments.

BREAKING: we just shut down a keynote speech by Senior Advisor to the President John Podesta. Addressing a room full of millionaires in a 5-star hotel, Podesta said we can only get to net-zero by 2050. So we sang him off the stage.
Hey look, it's the @nytimes confirming what I said (more than a month ago) would happen regarding the #WillowProject 🙄
Young people are pissed, and they should be

In today’s first @washingtonpost TikTok: The gas industry is spending millions on fighting a ban on gas in newly built homes in Eugene, Oregon.
The industry may take that fight to other cities and counties across the U.S. tiktok.com/t/ZTRTQxb2a/
