“My whole message here? It is that so long as we cling to the models or systems that we’ve built our laws, our politics, and our economics as being more important than everything else? We’re hooped,”“People in Extinction Rebellion are saying we’re headed in a direction of extinction and we’re rebelling against it. That’s why I’m here.
“It is now the age of consequences,” said Dr. Don Goodeve, an organizer with Extinction Rebellion Vancouver Island. “We need action. We need a declaration of a climate emergency by NDP government and we need them to begin to act with the reality of that emergency. We need changes in policy, no more investment in fossil fuel infrastructure.”
“What has just happened with the unprecedented rainfall and floods and Premier Horgan has the temerity to come back and say, well, six months ago, nobody could have predicted this,” said Goodeve. “Well, yes, they could. The scientists have been telling us for over 30 years the consequences of unbridled expansion of fossil fuels and the continued investment in fossil fuel infrastructure, and not addressing the root causes of the climate crisis.
Sounds like a terror threat. Shouldn't he be locked up?
DavidSuzuki am glad that you corrected what u originally said. Peaceful and positive I was told is the best. You are known around the world for teaching us about all the natural world we benefit from. Thank you, were bless to have u around
It is a serious warning about the anger percolating among those who watch governments talk about dealing with the climate crisis but sit on their hands and hope status quo will ride them through the next electoral cycle. Thank you Dr. Suzuki for sounding the alarm.
One more thing.. I AM THE MOTHER FUCKING TRUTH!
Climate change is as big a hoax as Covid is. Things freeze in the winter and thaw in the summer. That’s normal as normal gets. These bullshit lies have got to stop
This goes okay with Twitter
Based
What does “act” mean?
The Bill Nye of Canada speaks…. Yawn…
Blow up how? I'm genuinely confused by this. Like, from the build-up of gas pressure brought on by the heat...or something?
Time for talk is done. We know what needs to be done. The oil oligarchs will adapt or face the consequences. It's literally us or them. As a species we're a cornered animal. And it's their fault, they're asking for this.
Wow so he is calling for violent terrorist criminal acts
Arrest Suzuki for inciting violence.
Well that would be.... terrorism
I’m pretty sure that inciting terrorism is illegal. Suzuki has finally lost his mind. He’s the biggest hypocrite on the planet with his houses, and cars and jets. If you can’t walk the walk, sir, then suggest you refrain from talking the talk.
yes, of course, we all know this
More people only reading the headline b/c it's all their brain can take
'Suzuki warned he feels that there are few remaining options for protesters who feel [gov't] isn’t moving rapidly [...] to tackle climate change. What else is there but violence, he wondered.' “I think it’s going to be threatened by groups that feel [gov't] isn’t doing anything”
Check how many modern conservatives are calling for someone to be investigated or arrested for offering their opinion on what MIGHT happen, while saying he personally doesn’t support it. This is where the modern conservative is. Police state for opinions they don’t like.
You all act like David Suzuki is making bombs in the basement and skipped the part where he said he didn’t want that to happen.
Shouldn’t the rcmpgrcpolice be investigating his comments?
Normally I wouldn't agree, but considering were in climate change crisis knocking at our door. I will not let the piplines destroy us all!
If I or anyone else uttered this threat, the rcmp would be knocking on the door. Time to retire sir.
Hardly a threat. It's an observation: “We’re in deep, deep doo-doo,” 'Pipelines will be blown up,' says David Suzuki, if leaders don't act on climate change.' Asked whether or not he would support the bombing of pipelines, Suzuki said, “Of course not.”
Incitement of violence
Dumb comment Mr. Suzuki
Lol
While the world transitions off oil, protesters need fuel to get to their rallies. Don’t blow things up. We don’t need more violence. Instead focus on developing clean technologies. ClimateAction ClimateActionNow
'We know what to do with climate change, this is not the problem; the problem is institutional forces that are arrayed against us doing so...With their money and their power, they have things sewn up...' - M Williamson last week. Check which side you're on and why money people.
Cute story David. How about you show us how low your carbon footprint is compared to the rest of us.
AndreAr94310915 Mais c’est qu’il est fou!
Has he gone senile in his old age ? What kind of talk is that ?
Well NOW they might be. This asshole knows exactly what he’s doing. Follow the money.
He did not openly advocate blowing up pipelines, but it was still a foolish thing for him to say, because there are many out there who will take his words as a sign that that is what they should be doing.
I'm all for protecting the environment but what's the difference between that comment and Trump's cult inciting violence on Jan 6th?
David Suzuki:
Totally unacceptable. It’s a dog whistle inciting violence, plain and simple. If someone in the oil industry had said environmental organizations would be blown up, there would be nationwide outrage. Time to stop making exceptions for left-leaning ppl. Need a standard for all.
So if david Suzuki threatens to blow shit up its a headline but if I threaten someone for stopping me from dining in at McDonald's then I'm the bad guy? liberallogic🤣
And the environment will be hurt by this and we will rebuild them.
Radical words
Grow up Dave. Did you fill your tank this week? Another trip maybe? Take off eh!
This looks like a TorontoSun headline. Conrad’s gonna blow a huge Okboomer about this I bet!
What a f up blowing up pipelines what's that going to do for climate change. That's like give the murderer a gun.
David Suzuki is trying to stay relevant in his old age
He is inciting violence 😡
Silly old man! go back home to your rocking chair !
I suggest the police treat this threat as real and as a terrorist threat to be investigated.
Yes let's blow up a pipeline *facepalm*. Where does he, or anyone that would do it, think the contents of the pipe are going to go? Can we say massive oil spill and fire? I swear these activists don't think things through.
Words from an eco terrorist. Time to lock him up
2 x infants abducted from Pakistan in Dec 09 & flown Canada.Till so far kids Never allowed to phone father even once Canada NOT helping kids to access father since 12 yrs nor allowing him to appear in Ca Court to prove innocent,submit documentary evidence to negate false charges
They fired Don Cherry for saying you people , I think David Suzuki needs to be fired for talking sedition
In-cite-ful isn't he. 🙄😨😱 There he is... the Eco-terrorism El-presidentae. Losing my respect saying things like that. ☹️😢
By natures gas
No one is going to really act until pipelines actually broke.
Sounds a lot like a terrorist threat to me…🧐😦😦😦
I don’t get why he would say such a thing? Like really Lost respect for him a long time ago.
BCRCMP how is this any different from Wiebo Ludwig? You going to wait for the explosion?
Hmmmm….are you telling people to do this David Suzuki? Sure sounds like you are.
He's just a 'has been' trying to maintain some exposure.
Suzuki DomesticTerrorist incitingviolence
The ultimate hypocrite
You quietly left out why Wiebo Ludwig blew up oil wells. His farm was down wind from an H2S belching wells that killed his livestock and sickened his family. You would have done the same
Won’t the smoke from the explosion and burning oil hurt the climate?
These are threats and he should be arrested immediately...any terroristic threats should be dealt with ASAP!
Wow! Now Suzuki is basically inciting domestic terrorism and civil disobedience! One can only imagine the environmental disaster if some deranged individual did blow up an oil pipeline or installation! Suzuki knows full well that we have our share of unhinged individuals!
David Suzuki should be removed as member of the Order of Canada. He’s promoting criminal acts against Canada , his actions undermine the integrity and the credibility of the order.
The height of irresponsibility.
The RCMP should be interviewing Suzuki!
Sounds like a terrorist threat.
Is this guy inciting criminal behaviour?
If I said something like this I would get a visit from the RCMP .
And what would that prove?
The best part about David Suzuki is he's 85 years old .
That’s an act of Terroism
Sounds like a threat.
Read. The. Article.
Sounds like a nice terrorist
Eco terrorism is in
David Suzuki is a domestic terrorist and just made a threat to Canadians lives and their livelihoods and he should be arrested, trialed, and thrown in jail
Yo, I cant tell anymore if Dr.Suesszuki is a terrorist, or the media are propagating terrorism or if the government is funding all of it and against justice and productivity or if Im stuck in fkn bizarro world or just generally wtf is going on... pretty sure thats their plan.
AndreAr94310915 Another crazy scientists 🤷🏻🤦🏻🤡💩
That sounds like a call to insite violence.
Recently, BC's highways, dikes, rail lines and lower mainline hydrocarbon delivery systems were 'blown up'. Is the last 10 days really what Suzuki wants for BC's future
Wow, talk about an irresponsible comment. The man who is a god to environmental extremists -- precisely the type of people who would bomb things to make their point, vs the rest of the generally concerned -- basically just fired the starting pistol. Even if unintentional...wow.
Will he explain one of those days why NASA says China is greening and CO2 avoiding it.
It may be disturbing to some but what he is really saying here is 100% what will Likely happen. Why, because that is what will awaken politicians to change direction. Like all major catastrophes It creates Change , 911
This eco-terrorist should be arrested for conspiracy to commit terrorist actions!
They didn't when one bragged over streets of NewYork, later Capitol...They Never when it's from the 'RIGHT' Quarters'.
AndreAr94310915 Flying again ! Do what I say but not...
That’s a threat
David Suzuki is based af
Da tristeza escuchar a este anciano Suzuki decir semejante incitación al odio. Es un vividor que no sabe lo que es vivir en carne propia lo que viven los que dependen del salario obtenido por los trabajos que genera la industria petrolera. ¿Que ofrecen los vagos ambientalistas?
What pipelines? We have pipelines now?
Oh gosh, I think dementia is setting in and impacting his judgement...
This sounds like legit terrorism. But I guess being wrong for 50 years makes people get a bit unhinged
Sounds like a terrorist threat, I’m assuming RCMP will be investigating?
That'll help.
