1. Climate Change makes Wildfires Worse
   • Global warming makes Mother Earth hotter; causes more droughts; heat waves; higher temperatures,
   • These impacts of global warming make wildfires more prone to start; more prone to last longer; burn hotter and reoccur more frequently
2. Carbon Trading, Carbon Pricing and Carbon Tax Increase Pollution and make Climate Change Worse because they:
   • Are false and fake solutions to climate change
   • Are a distraction and a delay from seeking real solutions
   • Let greenhouse gas emissions increase

·        Are a smokescreen for polluters to pollute more

• Make the public think that something is being done about climate change, when it’s not

3. Forest Carbon Offset Projects make Climate Change Worse because they:
   • Let polluters pollute more
   • Allow for Industrial logging and clear cuts, which have been proven to make wildfires more frequent, more severe, hotter; longer lasting and more recurrent
   • Prohibit traditional Native fire management which reduce wildfires
4. To defend Native Nations and Turtle Island from Wildfires we need to:
   • Cut Emissions at Source!
   • Leave fossil fuels in the ground and in the oceans!
   • Shut down the Canadian Tar Sands! Stop the pipelines!
   • Reject Carbon Pricing by any name! Stop fossil fuel subsidies!
   • Not do carbon offset projects!
