BC Climate Alliance

Our Chiliwack contingent (@Blasterella & Co.) met with MLA Dan Coulter today! It was a treat to have a face-to-face meeting again and all felt that it was a productive conversation! Thank you for your time MLA @dacoulter

Thank you Minister @BruceRalston for meeting with the BC Climate Alliance today. We look forward to staying in touch!

BC Climate Alliance met with Minister @GeorgeHeyman and key staff today re: aligning climate policies. We applaud the govt for the ambition in CleanBC’s RoadMap, and look forward to policies being implemented that can “bend the curve” so our emissions decline as required.

Some of our members met with Parliamentary Secretary for the Environment and MLA for Richmond-Steveston, Kelly Greene. Thanks @KellyRichmondBC for taking the time to meet with us last Friday!

This is where it gets real for Canadian politicians. No more patting yourself on the back for modest climate actions while seeking to boost fossil fuel production and exports. Time for a managed wind down. theglobeandmail.com/business/artic…

We talk a lot about ramping up #climateambition and rapidly accelerating growth of #renewables and energy conservation measures. Today a new @IEA report confirms that we must immediately begin decreasing #fossilfuel use now iea.org/reports/net-ze… #netzero #cdnpoli #climate

Thank you MLA @dacoulter for meeting with us! Chilliwack Citizens for Change and BC Climate Alliance look forward to further discussions and collaboration regarding our concerns.

#BillC12, the Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act passed 2nd reading in the House of Commons. Now there’s an opportunity to strengthen it to make sure that Canada never misses another #climate target. Press release: ow.ly/n0ez50EFMCR #Cdnpoli #climateaction

Thank you Minister @GeorgeHeyman and Asst Deputy Minister Jeremy Hewitt for meeting with us today to discuss our climate concerns! We appreciate the planning and actions taken by the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy to meet Canada's climate goals.

@lauralynchcbc @cbcwhatonearth Great show yesterday. One point I would like to make is that with carbon pricing BOTH eyes are OPEN. A predictably rising carbon price address both supply & demand. If investors know on a timeline when fossil fuels are too expensive they won't fund it b/c the demand will be low.

Yesterday, new mapping revealed that the BC provincial government has approved 43% more old-growth logging during the period since it received the Old-growth Panel recommendations that it promised to implement last fall: wildernesscommittee.org/news/new-mappi… @jjhorgan @KatrineConroy

Thank you MLA @MurrayRankinNDP for meeting with our local BC Climate Alliance chapter this afternoon. We sincerely appreciate you taking the time to discuss our climate concerns. @cclvictoriabc

Thank you Minister @KatrineConroy for our recent meeting. We appreciated the conversation about fossil fuel subsidies and carbon emissions from forest management.

Thank you @rr4mla for meeting with us to discuss our concerns!

Citizens' Climate Lobby Canada invites you to join us for CREATING A BALANCED FUTURE: A pan-Canadian online conference and lobbying event with our provincial parliamentarians Friday, April 30, 2021 at 8 am PDT canada.citizensclimatelobby.org/creating-a-bal…

Our climate can’t wait for @JustinTrudeau to govern like it’s an emergency, our best chance for real climate action is a Green-NDP Climate Emergency Alliance. @theJagmeetSingh @AnnamiePaul we need a #ClimateAlliance! #Lib2021 #NDPConvention2021 climatealliance.ca

On April 9th, @350Canada is hosting a massive campaign kick-off event. The plan is under wraps for now, but have said it'll shake up politics as we know it to give us a fighting chance to tackle the climate crisis. Don't miss it act.350.org/signup/campaig…

This practice is called slash burning, and it's how a lot of logging waste in BC is dealt with. Despite causing a big chunk of our carbon pollution, like other industrial emissions it's exempt from the carbon tax. @Climate_Pete breaks it down: straight.com/news/peter-mcc… #bcpoli

More than two-thirds of Canadians voted for strong climate action but politicians are holding up progress. It’s time to make Canada’s new climate legislation #BillC12 a law! @JustinTrudeau @pablorodriguez
