All day today Calgarians breathed the most toxic level of air quality the #AQHI provides for, "10+". Historically it only went to 10 but in the last few years a new level was required for when we go LITERALLY OFF THE CHARTS which we now do pretty much every year #SueBigOil

"A quiet but dangerous problem is hiding in plain sight: the economic models guiding governments, pension funds, insurers & long-term investorments are profoundly broken. These models assume endless growth, oil demand & a stable climate that's are already failing millions of people." #CostOfClimate
