"Only negotiations we have internationally are who gets to pollute and how much. That's what the #ParisAgreement is about: #emissions targets & pollution. But who gets to PRODUCE & how much are critical negotiations that have to happen between countries so we have fairness & a management of decline"

"We've grown up with this idea that more #FossilFuels means more prosperity which couldn't be further from the truth today. Fossil fuels are [becoming] the greatest cause of premature death on the planet. Heat waves, air pollution, toxicity in our daily lives, extreme weather & climate change."
"She started talking about how her family has a farm & how much more difficult it was getting from drought & how the seasons were changing. I didn't say a thing, just listened. Halfway through she came to it on her own: 'Wait a minute, are you saying that all that's because of #ClimateChange
"There were personal costs. I received a lot of death threats. I was attacked physically. There were campaigns against me. It was hard & I would do it again. And yet, even though we were able to achieve widespread consensus on policy recommendations they were all swept away when Kenney came back."
"We have been vulnerable all along. Anyone who lives in #Alberta knows the booms and busts. It's an unstable industry controlled by very few. Always has been. The working people in Alberta are the ones that suffer the busts. That's why it's critical Alberta strategizes for economic diversification."
"It's also important to look at some of the good stuff. We are globally undergoing a dramatic #EnergyTransition & it's been remarkable. Last year there was double the investment in #RenewableEnergy on the planet than there was in fossil fuels. We're seeing that now 1 in 5 cars sold are electric."
"In #Alberta right now it's estimated there are $216 BILLION in unfunded liabilities as a result of #OilAndGas industry development so afr. Add all that up & it costs a hell of a lot more to continue our dependency on #FossilFuels than shifting to cleaner and safer energy systems."
" #TailingsPonds are leaking toxics into people's air, water & food. We also know about the liabilities. These are some of the most profitable industries in the history of the world. The wealthiest companies & individuals get paid then leave the costs for the taxpayer, the public, to deal with."
"Oil gas & coal are responsible for 86% of the carbon trapped in our atmosphere, creating a smothering blanket around the earth that is causing this extreme weather, the change in temperature & the rest of it. It's not just a climate issue because we know the impacts we're seeing cost so much."
