Probably a bad idea to wrap your face and body in slim-fit clothing on a day with 101 degree heat. Especially if the garments are made from tightly woven cotton or certain synthetics.

This is wild, there are no trees. At all.

This. But also, take a close look, Canada.

ICLEI Canada's Climate Insight platform is giving city councils a data-driven tool for climate-resilient planning, in the face of an AI #disinformation campaign. “We’re responding by staying the course and doubling down on what we do.” @iclei-canada.bsky.social www.theenergymix.com/climate-plan...

"With weather forecasts across North America reaching well into the 40s, Prime Minister Mark Carney has announced that Canada will analyze climate data using advanced AI, which is provided by data centres that raise surrounding temperatures by an average of two degrees Celsius."

“.. Members of the group Patriot Front ride the metro on the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence in Washington, D.C.” @reuters.com

It’s possible — even probable — that the passengers did not know they were disembarking at an illegal location, and that the vessel was likely operating without a safety inspection certificate or proper insurance, which means it was not operating safely for the number of passengers on board.

"A Guardian analysis of Musk’s posts, replies and reposts between 31 May and 12 June has shown the extent to which the social media activity of the world’s richest person, who lives primarily in the US, has focused on UK politics."

The heat dome blanketing parts of Canada and the U.S. is a typical weather pattern, a World Weather Attribution release says, but the higher temperatures—above 38°C—are the result of human-caused warming. www.theenergymix.com/record-shatt...

Carney climate play is trying to do the equivalent of you can lose weight by continuing to eat the same things you currently do and not moving more🤨

"I am the future"! Let's hope.

Or, in other words: "Carney is in a culture war whether he wants to be or not, and he’s trying to fight it with an updated marketing strategy. It’s insufficient to the task, and because of that it’s likely to fail in political terms." www.tvo.org/article/anal...

Really think that it's still in 2026 underappreciated how common "rolling coal" is in motorist culture and it's partly why I'm so skeptical that politicians can negotiate with these people. They're forcefully, avowedly pro-pollution!

The shame of it…

“Many Democrats...are deeply concerned about not just the energy use, but the use of polluting forms of electricity, like the re-invigoration of coal-fired power plants. Whereas Republicans and, frankly, many Democrats as well, are concerned about the potential economic consequences..."

The best way to rediscover your love for America: help make it into what you want it to be. That doesn't only mean politics—run for school board, volunteer, garden, build community. @hcrichardson.bsky.sociall joins @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social on The Focus Group:

Oh my gosh

Rav has farmed this land for years and her message is clear: Highway 413 will destroy some of the best soil in the world and it's soil that can never be replaced. We're at McVean Farm in Brampton, standing on the kind of land we simply cannot afford to lose.

This July 4th weekend, you may want to give those raw berries or green salad the side-eye. That’s because a parasite that can contaminate raw produce and causes ferocious and long-lasting bouts of diarrheal illness is making people sick across several states. https://cnn.it/3T0d7Fw

I was talking about diversifying #HamOnt electric ⚡ grid in 2022. When we lack innovative & forward thinking at City Council it literally costs us money. This October vote for visionary leaders not status quo. #yhmvote

The thing about climate change is this: it's chemistry and physics and math which means, when it's motion, it can't be controlled any better than we can control a thunderstorm. Except...The climate is global, the consequences are local, and the future is universal.

Alberta & Feds have announced a route and a tentative partnership for a new pipeline from Alberta’s oil sands to the BC coast, with taxpayers picking up the lion’s share of the cost. Excellent summary of all yesterday’s announcements from Energy Mix… www.theenergymix.com/90-public-ow...

Canada has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become a global NON-FOSSIL FUEL energy superpower. But @mark-carney.bsky.social is taking us in the WRONG direction. Even as much of the earth is burning up in the heat! We should shut down pipelines and build solar and wind farms!

We spoke to CTV News this week about cuts to auto insurance now in place in Ontario and how they disproportionately impact cyclists and pedestrians. Janice Jim of CycleWR shared some great commentary as well. Full story here: www.ctvnews.ca/kitchener/ar...

The Darth Carney apologists were saying a pipeline would never be built, and now? Canada’s Carney secures deal for pipeline to expand oil exports beyond US | Oil and Gas News | Al Jazeera share.google/RadgIS0IPvlv...

Heat and humidity as severe, prolonged and far-reaching as this week’s would have been “virtually impossible” in the Northeast and eastern Canada before humans began warming the planet, a team of scientists said on Friday.

Today’s must read. Please repost. Likes are nice, but reposting helps amplify important messages and information.

"Private-public" partnership. The public will pay the full load. The oil giants get all the profit. We paid $34 billion for TMX pipeline. The companies balked at having to pay their share through the toll rates so the public has been subsidizing 50 cents on the barrel. #astheplanetburns

Start with this: Send Carney an email here: [email protected] We do not want another pipeline, *especially* one that is paid for with public funds. Flood his inbox.

The closer we get to climate solutions, the more fearful and angry they get. Raging against the dying of the fossil fuel light, is the way I think about it!
