Dear Friend,
The IPCC report, the sixth assessment report of the physical science, could
not have been clearer. UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres described the
report as "Code Red for humanity."
And yet the political theatre that passes for democratic debate in this
country remains mired in the trivial.
Meanwhile, in British Columbia, thousands of our fellow citizens remain
under evacuation orders or evacuation alerts. The skies are an eerie orange
as ash rains down on interior towns like Armstrong. Prairie farmers are in
dire straits as drought chokes the life out of their crops. Over 570
British Columbians died in a few short days from the heat domes, while
floods ravaged much of Europe and China. For the first time the IPCC has
raised the credible threat of runaway global warming - of unstoppable,
self-accelerating global heating.
IF YOU ARE FEELING A SENSE OF DESPAIR, I CANNOT BLAME YOU. I AM FIGHTING IT
ALL THE TIME. BUT FIGHT IT WE MUST, because we still have time to avoid
runaway global warming. We still have a chance of holding the global
average temperature to no more than 1.5 degrees C.
WHAT TANGIBLE DIFFERENCE CAN YOU MAKE RIGHT NOW? CONVINCE EVERYONE YOU KNOW
THAT THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A BETTER TIME TO VOTE GREEN. MAKE IT CLEAR THAT
NO OTHER PARTY IS SERIOUS; THAT ONLY THE GREENS UNDERSTAND WE ARE IN A
CLIMATE EMERGENCY. HELP US GET THIS MESSAGE OUT BY MAKING YOUR DONATION
TODAY. [1]

This is the moment when we must raise the alarm. The science is clear.
Liberal climate fakery and NDP hypocrisy must not be allowed to shut down a
meaningful debate about the climate emergency.
Spread the word. Support your local Green candidate. If there is not
already a candidate where you live, step up to run yourself. WE ARE RUNNING
OUT OF TIME, BUT WE DO HAVE JUST ENOUGH TIME TO SAVE OURSELVES. IF NOT NOW,
WHEN?
Please, make your donation today.
With my thanks,
ELIZABETH MAY
Candidate for Saanich--Gulf Islands
Green Party of Canada
