Re-upping this 🧡 from when Ksi Lisims LNG was given enviro approval.

The downstream emissions from Ksi Lisims will be roughly equivalent to 5% of Canada's TOTAL domestic GHG emissions. This is a carbon bomb - a willful act of arson.

Mark Carney simply does not get the climate emergency... πŸ‘‡

🚨 Ksi Lisims LNG has been sent to the federal Major Projects Office.
