Week 206 of fasting on Fridays for the #ClimateCrisis. Week 206 of striking from working and shopping on Fridays for the #ClimateEmergency. The more obvious it becomes that lives are being affected by wildfires, floods, and famine, the more the fossil fuel industry will likely extract to increase profits before their industry collapses. Profit panic that magnifies the burning of fossil fuels exacerbates short and long-term harm. The more disasters we see, the more vigilant we need to be about demanding an end to this industry.

With #WildfiresCanada, 2023's "record-breaking wildfire season has seen roughly 134,000 sq Km burned, six times worse than the 10-year average in any one year... nearly double the previous record of 76,000 sq Km that burned in 1989."

One fire expert: "Everyone is telling us we have to pivot to mitigation and prevention. More people...to do front-end work dealing with fuels, preparing communities and infrastructure, so that they can survive and be resistant to fire."

Week 205 of fasting on Fridays for the #ClimateCrisis. Week 205 of striking from working and shopping on Fridays for the #ClimateEmergency. What we’re seeing is just the beginning. If fossil fuel burning doesn’t end, these brutal, harsh, life-threatening climate events will only escalate. It’s going to take a lot more people speaking up and taking action to improve the future. The more quickly and in solidarity we act, the better the outcome.
