🧵 Here's what the #Doomers get wrong: there's never a point of no return due to the nature of the #ClimateEmergency we face. Every fraction of a degree of heat we add to the planet greatly increases disasters worldwide.

We have to live with each loss & fight each fraction. /1 https://youtu.be/uynhvHZUOOo?si=Fn21s2R-xqlL0UxK

We fight each fraction or it gets that much worse for the children in our lives when it's their turn at the wheel. A responsible generation of adults will turn over a more manageable problem to our kids. A reckless generation will just let it get worse & say "well, I got mine. /2 #Climate https://www.pewresearch.org/science/2021/05/26/gen-z-millennials-stand-out-for-climate-change-activism-social-media-engagement-with-issue/

Individually we can do small things that don't really add up to much. Collectively we can force our leaders to adopt the solutions available to us at a rate commensurate to the danger. That means we have to be alert, bold, resolute & ask ourselves: how many Jaspers is too many? /3 #Jasper #wildfire #Climate https://globalnews.ca/news/10648035/jasper-wildfire-damage-map/

And never again support any leader that doesn't have a clear, impactful and realistic #ClimatePlan. The cost is simply too great, as we have hopefully(?) learned from our beloved #Jasper. /5 #Climate #wildfire #ExtremeHeat #abpoli #cdnpoli https://thetyee.ca/Opinion/2024/07/26/Jasper-Grim-Warning-Canada-Wildfire-Failure/

When the smoke rolls in & we lose ~ 1/3 of one of our beloved cities to wildfire the only thing that makes me feel sane is working with others for change, like the #calgaryclimatehub. You can too

Be safe & take care of each other.

We can do this.

We have to.
