Every single one of us will eventually be impacted by climate change, more and more of us already are.
That's why every single one of us needs to hold the fossil fuel industries to account or they'll just keep profiting from our pain.

Terrifying.
NEW: Many of the world’s vital sources of underground fresh water took millions of years to form and could require thousands of years to refill, as water mined from them largely ends up in the rising oceans.

Six other Canadian venues cancelled his shows. But Danielle Smith's UCP is making allowances so he can appear on the legislature grounds. This could be a test of wills between the UCP and those who oppose the importation of MAGA politics to Alberta.
