"The well on my land is for #NaturalGas. You don't know that stuff is leaking. It has no smell to it. Farmers & ranchers are being told you can walk right up to these well sites & that's putting them in danger. These well sites are INDUSTRIAL sites. Poisonous and explosive vapours come off of them."

" #BjornLomborg suggests that the only reason #BigOil is advocating for #CarbonCapture is so they can get massive government subsidies that'll enable them to keep producing more oil. It's a pretty frank admission from a key booster of the industry. He's not just some random guy."

Ultimately your city’s probably no different from the rest: by the data a solid majority wants to stop dicking around & start fixing #ClimateChange in a meaningful way. They all have their scripts when they come to your door but it’s YOUR movie, not theirs. What do you want from this exchange? /end #yyc #yyccc #abpoli #ClimateChange

When they come knocking at YOUR door, consider asking the following:
1) Does the candidate understand #ClimateChange is real & caused largely by #FossilFuels?
2) Do they understand cities like ours are one of the prime locations to fight #ClimateChange
&
3) What are they going to do about it? /6

During election season YOUR POWER becomes clear. They want your vote so badly they themselves or their campaign team will literally come knocking at your door to ask for it.

Canada has the largest intact boreal forest on the planet.
An increasingly hotter world due to #ClimateChange makes longer dry seasons, far larger wildfires & yes, more smoke. No amount of "raking" fixes it. The scientists warned of exactly this for a very long time /1

Landman Petroganda 🧵 /2
