The billionaire class does not want to price on fossil fuel pollution because they have heinous carbon footprints.
They don't want to pay the piper.
That is why there is massive lies about the consumer carbon price in Canada.
The fact is the Canada Carbon Rebate is an affordability measure.

Forcing the super-rich to fund the transition to renewable energy through implementing wealth taxes is one of the clearest & most straightforward solutions to this problem.

The super-rich have made their money by exploiting us & our planet.

Beautiful interview @katharinehayhoe.com about why climate science + activism should go hand in hand.

this beautiful piece by @timhollo.bsky.social gave me hope today.
'It was incredibly empowering to be part of a joyous, colourful crowd of climate defenders in kayaks on Newcastle harbour that turned a coal ship around.'

'But we actually did something much bigger than that.'

A beautiful piece. Thank you, Tim

Thank you, Dave

Thank you @risingtideaus.bsky.social
