#DebtForClimate

Is a "Global South-driven initiative connecting social & climate justice struggles by uniting labor, social and climate movements from the Global South & North toward a common goal of turning debt-trap diplomacy on its head by canceling the debt of impoverished nations as a way to pay for leaving fossil fuels in the ground and financing a just transition."

"British Columbia’s natural-gas homes together contribute the same amount of climate pollution each year as:

-More than 870,000 vehicles.
-One car, driven around the equator more than 400,000 times.
-Nearly eight million round-trip flights between Vancouver and Toronto."

From plaintextipcc (.com) on the 'summary for policy makers' page:
"B.1.3 ... emissions from 1850 to 2019 were 2400±240 GtCO2 (high
confidence). Of these, more than half (58%) occurred between 1850 and 1989 [1400±195 GtCO2], and
about 42% between 1990 and 2019 [1000±90 GtCO2]. About 17% of historical cumulative net CO2
emissions since 1850 occurred between 2010 and 2019 [410±30 GtCO2]."

The National Farmers Union (NFU) condemns the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers

“At a time when scientific consensus clearly shows that we must decarbonize our economies and accelerate the transition to clean energy, the statement from CAPP calling for increased oil and gas development is shameful.”

A tip for those trying to get coverage for climate rallies. You don't have to just hope that your local media will show up. What my local group did was submit a press release, which was posted in the local paper before and after the #DefundClimateChaos day of action on October 29. After that day, the paper printed this picture of our group and a blurb mentioning the report 'Banking on Climate Chaos'.

"Canada is planning to increase oil and gas production, 18 per cent and 17 per cent respectively ... "

"The production gap report outlines Canada’s announced climate targets of reducing greenhouse gas emissions 40 to 45 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030, and net-zero by 2050, but also notes that Ottawa sees the fossil fuel industry as critical for economic growth."

"Our new report 'Canada’s Big Oil Reality Check' finds that the climate plans of major oil and gas companies operating in Canada rank among the worst worldwide and will accelerate the climate crisis rather than help Canada and the world limit warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius (ºC)."

"Unnatural Gas is a campaign from the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (CAPE) and the Canadian Association of Nurses for the Environment (CANE). We developed this campaign to raise awareness of the climate and health risks of natural gas in BC, and the availability of healthier, non-polluting, and sustainable alternatives."

"The message was #RBCisKillingMe, and the institution most invested in fossil fuel projects out of Canada’s five top banks, was the primary — but not sole — target at the Toronto event for this global day of action."

"In Vancouver, roughly 200 people crowded onto the sidewalk beside RBC’s main Vancouver office and erected a two-story inflatable dummy of RBC president David McKay."
