Since the first fire began 4 days ago in the Los Angeles area, an area of 37,000+ acres or about 150 sq km have burned. To give BC residents some perspective, that's the size of the City of Vancouver, University Endowment Lands, UBC & the City of North Vancouver put together.

If I engaged in conduct that caused this destruction, I'd be thrown in prison. Why aren't we prosecuting ExxonMobil, Chevron, Shell, and BP?

Great graphics showing huge strides made by Great Britain in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Canada should follow suit. @bsaxifrage writes for @Natobserver #emissions #GHG #cdnpoli

The British just set their 2035 target at an eye-opening 81 per cent below their 1990 emissions. Canada will set a 2035 target in a few days. Here’s where both nations are today.

This past week at COP, the gvt of Quebec announced it will be phasing out gas in new buildings in their province by 2026, and will transition existing buildings off gas by 2040. And this under a conservative provincial govt! Never say it can't be done. https://t.co/hP2Pm705V4

Quebec has set a 2040 deadline to remove fossil fuels from all buildings, except those in the industrial sector.
