"#BigOil, the billionaires & their legions of puppets all have very direct, clear reasons to maintain this broken & burning status quo. The only thing that can stop them remains US. They have all the money but there's way more of us than them. The battle for #HeartsAndMinds never had higher stakes"

"It's a hearts & minds thing. #BigOil has always understood that & we'd better get smart about it fast. As for talking about #ClimateChange, it wasn't even the right time to talk about it during the #LAWildfires, which came with $250 billion worth of damages. That's if money's all you care about."

"It never had to be this way & all of it remains entirely fixable by a well-informed populace even now. That means rooting out things like foreign ownership of our national media & the indoctrination of our children by the now largely foreign-owned big oil companies. It's a hearts and minds thing."

On approach to TFS, I saw a big solar power plant and many wind power plants next to the desalting factory.

Don't think these were here last time I was. If so, that's a very nice development.

In any case, it makes total sense to harness wind and sun for something so energy intensive and time insensitive.

"I get it. It's a lot. But for the record the 'a lot' was predicted. #ClimateChange was always going to keep pounding away at us while other global dangers rose & pounded away too, each making the other worse. Welcome to the not-so-great feedback loop, population you & everybody else. So now what?"

"Folks told us #Covid just wasn't the time to talk #ClimateChange & to be sure a lot of climate organizations & the most progress we'd ever seen just died on the vine during that time. Last year it was #Housing & #Inequality. This year it's an openly covetous, belligerent & reckless America."

"Provincial governments are primarily responsible for education but the federal government can play a role too, particularly when an education topic is deemed in the national interest. The need to urgently address #ClimateChange is absolutely in the national interest & in that of our children."

"The federal government is coming out with a framework on environmental learning which needs best practices and principles & to be aligned with our treaty obligations under the #ParisAgreement to limit warming to 1.5, placing the urgent need to transition away from fossil fuels in the framework."
