Sleepless nights, diesel smells and smoke that “smells like burnt plastic.” Some Kitimat, B.C., residents say LNG Canada’s startup is making life unbearable. @writermjs.bsky.social reports thenarwhal.ca/kitimat-lng-...

Governments & fossil fuel companies call LNG “low-carbon.” But LNG Canada will unleash 36M tonnes CO₂/yr, equal to 9.5 coal plants or 8M cars. Far from a "clean" energy source. 🎧 Listen to the full episode & more stories that dig deeper into the climate crisis: www.climateemergencyunit.ca/podcast

"These big great leaders are watching what Netanyahu can get away with in Gaza.” Booker Prize–winning author Arundhati Roy tells @mehdirhasan.bsky.social about the parallels between Modi’s India and Netanyahu’s Israel in their mistreatment of Muslims under their rule.

An Al Jazeera journalist is among 15 Palestinians killed in an Israeli attack on the Nasser hospital in Khan Younis, southern Gaza. At least three other journalists were killed in the attack.

The attack also killed Reuters photojournalist Hussam al-Masri, as well as journalists Mariam Abu Daqqa & Moaz Abu Taha.

UN-backed experts declared famine in Gaza for the first time. “The Gaza famine is the world’s famine,” UN aid chief Tom Fletcher said. “For humanity’s sake, let us in.” Watch Fletcher’s unfiltered interview with @mehdirhasan.bsky.social, from earlier this summer: zeteo.com/p/un-humanit...

LNG Canada has been operating for just over a month in Kitimat, B.C. What are the implications of Canada becoming an LNG exporter? Check out this new episode!👇🏼

Everything you wanted to know about LNG but were afraid to ask. New podcast episode ft. Kiki Wood of @stand.earth, @emikonewman.bsky.social of the @bcclimateemergency.bsky.social and @climateunit.bsky.social, and Clark Williams-Derry of the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis.

We are doing this. Our governments. Our taxes. Our arms sales. This is our Holocaust. Our Cambodian killing fields. Our Balkans. Our Rwandan genocide. We are doing this and history will never forgive us. Gaza:

Wow—the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention (named after Raphael Lemkin, a Holocaust survivor who coined the term genocide) says plainly: "No more discussions, meetings, reports, sessions, summits…IF YOU HAVE THE POWER, YOU MUST USE IT." "HISTORY WILL DETERMINE THE RECTITUDE OF YOUR ACTIONS."

I think about this conversation with Dr. Yasser Khan every day. He is haunted by every patient he could not save. He came home to Canada only to face smears from some of his fellow doctors in the OR. If there was ever a moment for the medical profession to wake the hell up it is now.

My new column out today: All of us who work on climate have long walked a razor’s edge between hope and despair, and the last few months (or years) have made it near impossible to keep one’s balance. But I would put the current predicament differently. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/07/11/o...

A very emotional read - but a crucial one

Canada’s first LNG export is historic—for all the wrong reasons. As activist @janellelapointe.bsky.social explains, Canada’s LNG push will wreck the planet, sideline Indigenous peoples, and enrich Big Oil. youtu.be/dgEyGEb_8T4

Canada says it's a refuge. It has dangled only false hopes to Palestinians seeking to study here after Israel bombed their universities, or who have applied to be reunited with family. I co-wrote this piece with Deborah Cowen, Kyo Maclear and Madeleine Thien www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/7a8fbe1...

I was born in Montreal because my parents found sanctuary after my father refused to serve in the U.S.'s unjust war in Vietnam. Many of us who live here do so because others fought for their right to similar refuge. Refuge isn't the solution to genocide. But these cases are urgent nonetheless.

My latest column is out: I have spent the past 5 years arguing that we need a “wartime” approach to confront the climate crisis. It seems metaphor is not our government’s strong suit – their imagination for a wartime approach is limited to, well, war. 🧵... www.nationalobserver.com/2025/07/09/o...

🚨 Climate breakdown tripled the death toll in Europe’s June heatwave. “If we continue to follow the wishes of the fossil fuel industry & delay serious mitigation further... more people will lose their lives, for the financial benefit of a tiny, rich minority.”

Fracked gas harms health—from cancer to childhood asthma. In the @vancouversun.bsky.social, CAPE doctors Ulrike Meyer & @timtakaro.bsky.social call for a pause on LNG expansion in B.C. until a full, independent health impact assessment is done. 1/

🧟‍♂️ What is the PRGT pipeline? ⁉️How did it get approved? 💥 What resistance and opposition did it face? 🚫 Is it a done deal, or can we still stop it?! BCCEC coordinator Emiko Newman asks Kai Nagata of @dogwoodbc.bsky.social all these questions and more!👇🏼

A 2nd episode this week?! 🔥 BC’s PRGT pipeline was approved. What’s next? (w/ Kai Nagata) Host @emikonewman.bsky.social speaks with Kai Nagata of @dogwoodbc.bsky.social about the recent PRGT approval, Bills 14 and 15, and the resistance that has risen up in response.

It can be tempting to think of the 2021 heat dome as an isolated incident. But extreme heat will continue to threaten lives until we ensure survival is not dictated by someone’s money, age or where they happen to live. Three experts write.

To put this headline differently: "LNG Canada's plant in Kitimat is about to become the single largest point source of GHG emissions in BC, and its LNG exports, once burned overseas, will generate carbon emissions roughly equivalent to half the total GHGs of BC." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

My latest column: Is this really the end of the federal NDP? 🤔 Not so fast. Reports of the NDP's demise may prove greatly exaggerated. The new Carney govt is quickly ceding political space for a revived NDP. But only if the NDP choose to robustly claim it. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/05/27/o...

"No one owns the sun. No one controls the wind. And that makes renewables an existential threat to those who want to maintain dependence, power and profits. But here’s what they won’t say out loud: they’re fighting so hard because they know they’re losing."

"If a “plan” means having appropriate targets and a credible pathway to attain such targets, then the sad truth is that B.C. no longer has a climate plan. The B.C. government must present something new and ambitious to take its place," BCCEC members write. #bcpoli vancouversun.com/opinion/op-e...
