Dr. Debbie Tobin holds the paw of a sea otter as it takes its last breath

This is my friend, Dr. Debbie Tobin. She is a biologist and here she is bawling her eyes out as she holds the paw of a sea otter as it takes its last breath. That month, in Homer, Alaska, they witnessed 80 sea otters die from paralytic shellfish poisoning. Whales, sea lions and tens of thousands of seabirds also died from this ocean warming event. Scientists called it the “blob”. The blob was a warm body of water off the coast of Alaska, British Columbia, California and all the way down to Mexico. It was a glimpse into the future of what’s going to happen when our oceans warm. But there is a solution and it is called drawing down on carbon. We must vote for people who factor in the health of our planet as well as the economy. What is @justinpjtrudeau , the Prime Minister of Canada doing? He is forcing Canadians to use their taxpayer dollars to buy a pipeline to transport the most carbon intensive and dirty oil in the world from Canada to China. I voted for him and encouraged others to do so and for that I am truly sorry. This will become our Standing Rock to the North. #standupforourplanet #cleanenergy #climatechangeisreal
