Remember as your eyes burn from the smoke today, Ken Sim and ABC voted to allow fracked gas in new builds, cancelled $8 million in climate retrofit grants; voted against funding for cooling kits for people in the Downtown Eastside; and got rid of the climate justice charter.

A layer of smoke has moved in at about 1200 m and the temperature is 18 degrees instead of the projected 28. The sun is dim. The mild early stages of the climate catastrophe.
