Did you see the solar panels? We promoted solar on rooftops & over livestock grazing on pasture. We established an Agricultural Land Reserve to protect our limited farmland & scientists warned of desertification of farmland in the south & millions moving north as climate changes. It's happening now.

No surprise. In 1972 BC elected a science based social-democratic govt. for 3 1/2 yrs. We held science conferences on energy, decided against nuclear, opposed supertankers on our coast, & supertanker ports, banned offshore drilling & new dams, promoted LRT & held a week long alternative energy show

Canada is a major importer of fruit, vegetables & fish. As more oil & gas is exported expect equal increases in the cost of food as the planet warms. BC could be self sufficient but our governments are allowing development on #ALR Land protected by the Barrett #NDP. #keepitintheground & #savetheALR

Canada is one of the top ten CO2 emitters in the world. But that's not the whole story. Canada exports fossil fuels to other countries, increasing their CO2 emissions. Alberta is intent on building more pipelines and BC is intent on shipping LNG. It is past time to #keepitintheground.

pOILievre has a list of bans protecting the environmental bans that he plans to remove. His latest is to remove the ban on plastics, such as plastic straws, that are building a sea of plastic in the Pacific. pOILievre supports bigOIL & his bans on action against climate change are the same as Trump

In 1957 Dr: Sverre Pettersen, the world's top climatologist, warned, "In the next 50 years there will be very little ice in the Arctic". That's why I became concerned for how a warmer climate would affect agriculture. He was right. Now we have the 2nd lowest extent of ice for the end of November.

In 1960 I researched the effects of climate change on agriculture & lectured on climate change in a senior course in UBC agriculture. In 1972 I drafted Agricultural Land Reserve policy adopted by the BC NDP to save BC's 5% of arable farmland. Look how GHG's have increased nonstop since 1960 & 1972
