The question now is: who and how will an alternative #climateconference be organised, for all the actors actually committed to reducing #emissions? The question is in your court readers. #climateaction #fossilfuels #climatebreakdown

For some inexplicable reason I still had it stuck in my head #PetroCanada was a #CrownCorp (versus, more obviously, being a for-profit #GasStation #brand owned & operated by an #OilCompany…)
