Alberta faces same #GlobalEnergyTransition the rest of the world does & the biggest players like China & the US are racing to the challenge. We just purposefully hobbled ourselves (& Canada) out of allegiance to 20th century energy bosses.
Disastrous.

We can be certain that if Alberta's recent election is any indication, our youth will ABSOLUTELY be left behind in the #GlobalEnergyTransition. Small wonder so many have left/are leaving for places promising greater opportunity for the future. /21

On to Emergency Marker #2. In the early days of 2023 Canada's Prime Minister proposed a new #JustTransition office to ensure affected industry workers don't get left behind in the #GlobalEnergyTransition, to which he was met with howls from BOTH of Alberta's party leaders.

20 BILLION dollars is on the table for #BigOil in Alberta to clean up their own mess as they promised. In our latest #ClimateLens podcast host @Bentley asks some #Alberta #ClimateScientists how they think that money would be better spent.

Classic #denialism has lost its oomph but what is the New Denialism? What's going on with things like the #15MinuteCities conspiracy or the pushback against a #JustTransition? What should folks expect from their provincial government in the #GlobalEnergyTransition instead of rewarding high emission industries? Check out your latest #ClimateLens podcast!

Heading into Alberta's next election the far more dangerous denialism is turning a blind eye to the #GlobalEnergyTransition already upon us & not laying out a clear, credible & prosperous pathway through it, not having a plan as the world turns its eyes to a #ZeroEmission future.
#TheNewDenial goes under the #ClimateLens this Wednesday

It's almost impossible for climate to not get you down from time to time but our next guest #Calgary's own #ChrisTurner argues there IS reason for "qualified, necessarily compromised" hope & optimism and we bet you'll agree! We hope you'll join us Feb 28th at 7pm!

Words matter. If I'm honest I never really identified with the terms #EcoAnxiety or #ClimateGrief. I have #ClimateOutrage. Some days it's all I can do to stop myself from opening my window and shouting at the world for how reckless we're still being at this very late date. But not every day.

I often describe my life as a state of 50/50. 50% of the time I wake up in the morning thinking "we have everything we need, we can DO this thing." The other 50% I'm equally confident we'll turn it all into a smouldering ashtray. My advocacy benefits from & indeed relies on both.

🧵 As a longtime climate dude #ChrisTurner's "#ClimateOptimist speaks to me. There's every reason to be cynical/hopeless/plunged into despair but there's also every reason to start seeing a pathway out of here too & you're not helping anybody (let alone yourself) by ignoring it

Same folks fearmongering #15MinuteCities were big names in #AntiVax/#FreedomConvoy, which itself had deep roots with Canada's #OilAndGas industry. Our next podcast connects some dots with some Alberta #ClimateScientists.

Dishonest actors like
#DonValley MP #NickFletcher have moved on from denying #ClimateChange outright but now ragefarm/fearmonger/outright lie about solutions like #15MinuteCity. We're in a #GlobalEnergyTransition. We have no time for utter BS like this.
Learn more about the ongoing devolution of #ClimateDenialism in our next #TheClimateLens podcast episode coming soon.

How does the new fearmongering/ragefarming about #JustTransition & #15MinuteCity fit in with the decades of "classic" denialism now behind us? Next show I'll ask a few AB climate scientists!

We're an energy province with a global energy transition now upon us. Alberta's next election is here. Next podcast I'll ask AB #ClimateScientists what they'd like to hear from folks asking for YOUR vote.
