Parliamentary petition to end Canadian arms sales to Saudi Arabia. Parliamentary petitions are much more important and actionable for our representives than petitions on 3rd party providers such as change dot org. Please sign and share

We have the technology, the people-power and the know how to make a just transition to a clean, green economy. What we do not have at the moment are Green Party MLA's in the Alberta legislature to get us there. To bring it about, join us at: www.greenpartyofalberta.ca

Petition to the Government of Canada Whereas: The goal is to limit global warming to below 2, preferably to 1.5 degrees Celsius, compared to pre-industrial levels, as established through the Paris Agreement; The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 2018 special report warns of extreme weather and dire living conditions if global warming exceeds 1.5 degree Celsius above pre-industrial levels;... The Government of Canada’s current targets for reducing green house gas emissions fall far short of its commitment under the Paris Agreement, including the absence of a target for the year 2025 and by allowing continued emissions through offset mechanisms in its 2050 target to reach ''net zero''; Government targets are not based on objective, scientific information; and The federal government emissions-reporting plan fails to address unreservedly the urgency of the climate crisis by delaying the accountability period to 2030. We, the undersigned, your petitioners, call upon the Government of Canada to increase emissions reductions ensuring that our country will meet the Paris Agreement targets and to make sure that the advisory body created to provide the Minister of Environment with advice with respect to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 be comprised exclusively of scientific experts.

UN Climate Change Security Session World Security Emergency Due to Current and Projected Global Climate Change Statement of Dr. Peter Carter, Director and IPCC... expert reviewer 21 February 2021 The Security Council needs to acknowledge the unprecedented global climate change security emergency and produce an emergency global climate change security threat report To the UN Security Council Presidency, UK Ambassador to the United Nations Your Excellency Ambassador Woodward: Climate change, including increases in frequency and intensity of extremes, has adversely impacted food security (IPCC, 2019). Today’s accelerating global climate disruption is the national and international security threat of all time, so it has to be front and centre on the UN Security Council’s Climate Change Security Session. This security threat is now well recognized by national defense and security agencies. Indeed, they recognize it is a threat multiplier. The accelerating global climate change data trends make it clear that climate disruption is the top risk of global mass destruction, to huge human populations as well as the planet’s biosphere. All countries are already experiencing unprecedented disastrous impacts. There are no plans for reducing global fossil fuel emissions. The only plan is to keep increasing fossil fuel extraction, burning, and emissions (U.S. Energy Information Administration’s International Energy Outlook 2020). Post-Covid emissions are already rebounding to pre-Covid levels (International Energy Agency, January 2021). The last IPCC assessment (2014) recognized that global climate change will increase conflict, which may already be the case. The top cause of severely dangerous worldwide insecurity is the multiple global surface heating and climate disruption impacts on food production and security. Climate change, including increases in frequency and intensity of extremes, has adversely impacted food security and terrestrial ecosystems as well as contributed to desertification and land degradation in many regions (high confidence) which is projected to increase. Adaptations to date have not been sufficient to offset the negative impacts of climate change (IPCC 2019 Special Report on Climate Change and Land). Our Climate Emergency Institute study of 2020 climate change adverse indicators shows that they are all at record levels, accelerating, tracking the very worst scenario, and combined are on a trend of biosphere collapse (P. Carter, December 2020, American Geophysical Union, Townhall Climate Emergency Presentation). The January 2021 World Economic Forum 16th edition of Global Risks Report puts infectious disease as the top risk (projected to increase under climate disruption, which also increases the biodiversity disruption effect). Climate action failure comes a close second as a global risk and has been the top risk for several years. This is a significantly higher risk than weapons of mass destruction. The Security Council needs to acknowledge this as the security emergency it is, and produce an emergency global climate change security threat report.

The #PolarVortex has been a pretty popular topic this past winter. So we asked some experts to offer their perspectives on the February cold snap in the souther...n U.S., the polar vortex, and how the Arctic might influence mid-latitude weather. https://www.climate.gov//understanding-climate/understandi See more

MP Jenica Atwin of the Green Party of Canada Caucus has decided to sponsor the e-3014 petition which is on the House of Commons website. This petition calls for... reform of the Canadian Judicial Council. While the Canadian Judicial Council allows citizens to express their concerns about the conduct of federally appointed judges, it is surprising that the members of this Council are exclusively judges. As a result, this body does not provide an independent and neutral forum for the analysis of complaints. The petition calls, among other things, for the establishment of a joint committee, composed of citizen and judicial representatives, to review the admissibility of complaints received about federal judges and to follow up on them. This would limit the perception of bias. I invite you to sign the e-3014 (Justice) petition which can be found on the House of Commons website - https://petitions.ourcommons.ca/en/Petition/Sign/e-3014 Can you invite your friends to sign it? Thank you for your support! Have a great day,

A methane leakage rate of 3% makes the use of natural gas as bad as coal Leakage rates up to 11% have been recently documented- thats worse than coal A 0% leakage rate would make the use of natural gas half as bad as coal, which is still too much!... Natural gas is not green energy and its not a "bridge fuel" for transitioning to the renewables technologies later on. Its a bridge to nowhere.
