I might still sit down for that interview. But friends have warned me that Staples won't include quotes that don't support his viewpoint. Plus, given how he's treated me so far and what he’s already written, it probably wouldn't be productive. What do you think?

Same afternoon Staples would have been finishing his piece, a staffer from the war room was creeping my LinkedIn If he was looking for extremism in my resume he would have been disappointed. Former colleagues at

Throughout my 20s I knew climate change was a problem, but I kept my worries at bay by making personal choices to reduce my carbon footprint. I believed that, if I did my part, politicians and business leaders would do theirs. That changed in 2019.

I’m not a climate scientist but, since scientists are now so clearly sounding the alarm, isn’t it up to the rest of us to listen to their warnings? I now see that those of us who accept climate science must join together in collective action to accelerate political change.

Here’s the core truth, backed my massive scientific consensus: - We have less than a decade to cut global GHG emissions in half - Emissions are still rising - Every moment we waste makes transition harder and every fraction of a degree of warming means more suffering and death

Oil executives knew this would happen decades ago and, instead of changing their business models, they buried their own scientists’ work, resisted regulation and funded climate change denial.https://theintercept.com/2020/01/08/imperial-oil-climate-change-exxon/ …

That truth, & the voices of millions of youth around the world demanding real action, compelled me to quit my six-figure job at

Since then I’ve been canvassing, marching, organizing and, yes, participating in the occasional act of civil disobedience like blocking the Walterdale Bridge (sorry for the inconvenience). Direct action gets the goods. If the bridge inspired you, get involved with

I’ve been doing all this to spread an urgent message. To respond to the climate emergency, our leaders need to unleash an economic mobilization on a scale not seen since Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal.

A Green New Deal will create millions of good, unionized, green jobs It will guarantee a just transition for workers & communities. Alberta's workers deserve every support as we build a new economy in which future generations can thrive

Most Albertans are not climate change deniers. Debates about who’s qualified to talk to students about the
#ClimateEmergency obscure the real hurdles we face in implementing a rapid, just transition. Don't engage the forces of#PredatoryDelay (the new denial). Get organized.pic.twitter.com/TDYHR2HEqyPrikaži ovu nit -
Kenney & his wealthy donors are too invested in short-term shareholder profits to jumpstart a just transition. That makes them the real extremists They refuse to change course, even as Indonesia drowns, Australia burns & the death toll from climate & ecological breakdown rises.

I start my class visits by asking students what they know about climate change. It turns out they already understand the basic science. They’re learning it from YouTube, from parents, and in class. The kids see the
#ClimateEmergency for what it is. They need all of us to act now.Prikaži ovu nit -
I am confident that Staples and the UCP will continue to promote conspiracy theories about the climate movement’s motivations. They don’t have any real arguments left to make. It’s critical that you, if you’ve read this far, make a decision about which side you’re on.pic.twitter.com/EobHToGAkl

We need volunteers and donors and whistleblowers. Will you side with them by staying silent or will you join us in demanding a good future for everyone? Whoever you are, we need you in the climate movement now. So do the kids.

Being targeted by Staples & the UCP isn't fun, but I've felt so uplifted this week. I've received kindness from fellow organizers, former colleagues, friends & acquaintances. Solidarity is a beautiful thing.
