@Raven_Lark makes great point about the 2050 target being a political, not scientific target. Pleased to hear so many people raise this problem at the #100Renewable online forum now.

A few people brought up this very important point at the meeting tonight. 2050 is a political target, not scientific. The limit arrives decades earlier.

We're on first break. Before this all started, I posted a thread about ways you can support community media. I'm a community media guy! They/we need your help. teapawt.net/PaulDechene/status/126…
Council meeting starts at 1:30. I will live tweet as @PDcityhall. But before I start, I want to put out a plea (that I promise does not end w/ a link to my patreon — I haven't one). Community media is suffering, everybody. It needs your support… |1 #yqr #yqrcc #regina

Today is #InternationalWomensDay and we recognise that women are still far from equal to men in today’s societies.
We can not have climate justice without gender equity.
And remember; what we women want today - and every day- is equality, not congratulations or celebrations.
YES!....it is the "rule of Law" that human rights codes which include freedoms like expression , the Charter of rights and FREEDOMS, the constitution and yes, some international laws actually override all other laws....sheesh already !!
In Solidarity...makes this viral
For all the politicians who score cheap points mouthing easy words of ‘reconciliation’ where were you when the matriarchs were handcuffed, led off to jail and the sacred fire was extinguished? #freethematriachs #Unistoten #AllEyesOnWetsuweten @UnistotenCamp
