For perspective, when global temperatures were 4 degrees colder, what would later become New York City was under hundreds of feet of glaciers. They’re saying we’re gonna go that far in the other direction, and then almost that far again, in just your childrens’ lifetimes.
why on earth are snakes seen as mysterious, cunning and insidious, they are literal dumbasses, slithering through the world trying not to die of their own dumbassery. Sometimes my pet snake fails to eat his rat because he can’t find the head and it won’t fit into him because he tries to eat it ass first, so he gives up and sulks in his cave for three days. Sometimes he tries to wrap around his heat lamp in the middle of the night, then kaboom! falls to the ground and lies there confused for half an hour. He gets offended by his water dish. One time he got scared of his plant because a leaf touched him funny as he was slithering by. When he was little and not used to handling,he tried to bite me occasionally but missed every single time. He’s scared of black rats and won’t eat food that isn’t either white or light brown. I have no idea how he would survive in the wild. He’s not evil and mischieveous, he’s literally a cannoli with a head and he’s never had a thought in his life.
have y’all seen that nasa pic of the earth with the sun behind it on the night time side it really really fucked me up my own soul became solid and like………….. weeped!
who wouldn’t see this and then look deeply into their own emotional playing field to see what improvements could be made purely inspired by the vulnerable earth. this is the face of all literal gods
That’s actually called the Overview Effect- something experienced by some astronauts that makes them see that “from space, national boundaries vanish, the conflicts that divide people become less important, and the need to create a planetary society with the united will to protect this “pale blue dot” becomes both obvious and imperative”.
Support the Tsleil-Waututh Nation, go to twnsacredtrust.ca and donate to their efforts to stop this and put all the power behind the Indigenous people whose lands this abomination threatens. Support Chief Leah George Wilson (Sisi-ya-ama) and her people’s fight directly at the source.
No matter who approves it, this pipeline will not be built,” said Will George, a leader of Protect The Inlet and community member of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation whose territory encompasses the tanker terminal. George and thousands of supporters with Protect The Inlet led public resistance to Kinder Morgan, causing mass arrests for six months last year outside Trans Mountain facilities. The Indigenous-led opposition has been ramping up recruitment for more resistance in anticipation of today’s approval with the launch of https://www.stoptransmountainpipeline.org/.
“People in British Columbia are the ones risking disaster from spills and we’re prepared to do whatever it takes to stop this pipeline,” George continued. “Tonight in downtown Vancouver we’ll show our opposition to this destructive pipeline and on Saturday we will further escalate our actions.”
This Saturday, June 22, Protect the Inlet and George will be in Victoria for a 22 kilometre walk where local activists have been building a Tiny House to support the Secwepemc Tiny House Warriors, who are preparing for land defense in the Interior of British Columbia. 7km of Saturday’s march will occupy the highway, before delivering a completed Tiny House to Island View Beach.
British Columbians oppose the project because it lacks consent from many Indigenous peoples and Nations along the route and tanker radius; a tanker spill jeopardizes endangered whales, salmon and other ocean life while threatening local jobs in tourism, fishing and other coastal activities; and the expansion of fossil fuel infrastructure and subsequent climate impacts are inconsistent with the climate emergency recently declared by the federal government.
Last year, more than 200 people were arrested at Trans Mountain construction sites before the Federal Court of Appeal ruled in favour of First Nations and environmental organizations, overturning permits and halting construction. Pipeline opponents expect arrest numbers to rise significantly when construction begins in earnest.
Canada declared a climate emergency on June 17, which is largely seen as a meaningless gesture given today’s decision on Trans Mountain. The pipeline’s new upstream (production and transportation) climate impacts would add an additional 21- 27 million tonnes of upstream greenhouse gas emissions annually to Canada’s total, roughly equivalent to 4,458,599 new passenger vehicles on the roads every year, or cutting down 24,715,361 acres of forest in a year, as calculated by the EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator: https://www.epa.gov/energy/greenhouse-gas-equivalencies-calculator
Despite the federal government’s ownership of the pipeline and supposed commitment to climate-safe policies, there has been no formal accounting of climate pollution from the Trans Mountain pipeline and tanker project. A study commissioned by the City of Vancouver determined the downstream (end user burning) climate impacts of additional greenhouse gas pollution to be 71.1 Mt Co2e (carbon dioxide equivalent) annually, roughly equivalent to adding 13,694,444 passenger vehicles for one year or cutting down 75,912,447 acres of forest in a year.

so, hey geniuses how do you propose the oil be best moved then? if not pumped through a pipe that is contained and safe? a pipe, thats what we carry water and gas to our homes, can you imagine if we had to have it delivered to our doors how many trucks would be on the roads? the fuck is wrong with you people?
You make $6 an hour now, Mr. Congressman, and you’re not allowed to sit down or take breaks during your 7.5 hour daily shift. If you don’t like that, then you’re welcome to make some changes
It legitimately works. When politicians chose to live on the food stamp budget for their state they worked to increase the allotment after only a week of living that way.
And honestly? It should include having to spend time living on disability, navigating their district in a wheelchair, and taking public transit.
These people should have to live with their choices the same way they force us to live with them.
