Here in Calgary the air is as bad we know how to rate. You can thank the #PathwaysAlliance as well as all the #ClimateCriminals from the #WorldPetroleumCongress who will be descending on our city on Sept 17th.

Never forget: it never had to get this bad. Don't let anybody tell you it did. Oil companies had better science than anybody on this & knew since at least the 60s & started the cover up/deception campaign in the 80s. Ranks amongst the greatest evils in history

#ClimateCrimes #ClimateChange #yyc

For decades climate folk warned a hotter planet meant longer dry seasons -> larger fires -> WAY more smoke. Once the world finally literally caught fire, best the world's "Conservatives" could do was posit easily disprovable conspiracy theories rather than taking responsibility🧵

When much of the entire continent of Australia was on fire in 2020, #NeoDenialists first claimed CNN's footage were special effects. When the smoke got too hard to ignore, a new claim involved a secret arson plot to clear a path for high speed rail.

Rather than accepting the enormous global consensus that scientists have tried desperately to tell us for decades, Canada's #NeoDenialists like Australia's before them churn out evidence-free #MassArson theories & create #EcoTerrorists from whole cloth.

I suppose we should be grateful Canada's #NeoDenialists like #WBrettWilson have (at least for now) skipped over the part where #JewishSpaceLasers are to blame for wildfires but make no mistake: this is the quality and calibre of the new #ClimateDenialism in 2023.

"Why are #BP, #Shell, and #Exxon suddenly backing off their climate promises?

“You know, nothing like profits rolling in to make #BigOil show its true colors...I think over the last few weeks, we’ve seen the industry take off the green mask that it has been wearing for the last few years & remind us of its true identity & its real business model, which is the continued #extraction & production of #FossilFuels at the expense of our climate & communities.”
