To see Mark Carney abandon that reform and return to the grubby patronage of the 19th and 20th centuries is more than depressing, it's outrageous. This guy some people thought would be a policy wonk is just another short-term political animal. In short, a failure. 2/2

Oil and gas is an 19th century energy source, vulnerable to global instability, political turmoil, and incompatible in avoiding the worst outcomes of climate change. The future is renewables. Failure to invest in renewables is putting us at a global disadvantage.

Just imagine how many turbines and photovoltaic panels this could buy! Or homes that can be made to adapt to extreme climates?

"As the public overestimate the costs of net zero by up to 14,000%, the idea that decarbonisation is an unaffordable luxury needs to be put to bed. It is an unavoidable investment in a safer future and it would be cheap at any price." - @charliejgardner.bsky.social

Youpii! Des milliers sont morts à cause de la canicule en France! Jouons à la plage! La prochaine fois, mets donc une belle fille en bikini, okay?

I was mocked when I included this IPCC finding in my book, but I do understand that it can seem unbelievable. So I’m sharing it again, in this heatwave, noting also that 3C heating is twice what we have now, and the impacts of global heating are non-linear. #EndFossilFuels

My latest. I know a lot of people will strongly disagree. that's okay. I am just trying to get us all thinking about the problem, and potential solutions. | Science www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Ottawa 👨‍🦳: now is not the time to act on climate Also Ottawa: images.twnmm.com/c55i45ef3o2a...

Carney’s flight to Edmonton, where he’d hear Danielle Smith’s pipeline plan pitch, is grounded due to extreme weather —which is exacerbated by the climate crisis that pipeline plan would worsen 🤗 WHEEEEEEEEEE WHAT A WORLD

Carney: ~"Yes, it's a real shame that thousands of Canadians are dying from climate change, but have you considered the economic benefits? Fewer Canadians means reduced demand on healthcare and OAS which means we can cut more taxes, unleashing our economy. Further, the dead have no economic value".

"AI is inevitable!! It's here to stay!! Can't put the genie back in the bottle!! You can't stop progress!!! But uhhhh... if we had to legally obtain the resources needed to run our business AND unless we make trillions in profits AND unless you give up your drinking water, we're kinda toast 🥺"

Just so we're absolutely clear - There is a “large consensus” across all published studies that developing new oil and gas fields is “incompatible” with our #Climate targets. These editorials are pushing us to fail on holding to the Paris Accord.

"This is most effectively done by identifying the leading experts in each relevant field &... giving them research grants...This activity requires a modicum of finesse; it must not be too blatant, for the experts themselves must not recognize that they have lost their objectivity &freedom of action"

BP not only funded the research behind the influential “Wedges” climate science paper, but company execs even tried to revise versions of it. “Chaps, I have had a go at rewriting the paper,” a BP climate adviser wrote the researchers at one point.

Climate change -> warmer winters -> more ticks spreading across Canada … and research shows the ones that carry Lyme disease tend to be healthier than the ones that don’t! 🤯

A good sign Meta is past it's prime is if all their latest ideas are knock-offs from others, and all of them flops: Google Glass-> Meta Glass Xitter -> Threads Secondlife -> Metaverse Polymarket -> Arena Zuckerberg doesn't have the juice.

I hand out respirator/breatheteq masks to my patients to help them reduce their risk of getting COVID and Long COVID. Here's the letter I've put together about this for parents about children masking. @longcovidresource.bsky.social @longcovidadvoc.com @longcovidkids.bsky.social #longcovid

Spoiler alert: CCS will never work at the scale necessary (and assumed in many models!) to blunt the climate crisis. The great @katieworth.bsky.social has well and truly put this myth to rest (with an assist from me and @themadstone.bsky.social at @drilledmedia.bsky.social)

Funny. And feels 100% correct. "The only trait that consistently predicted objections to remote work was narcissism — the tendency to be self-centered and entitled." The Secret Reason Bosses Want Everyone Back in the Office, Every Day of the Week www.nytimes.com/2026/06/22/o...

Elon might be the first trillionaire. He might also be the first person to lose trillionaire status.

Suboptimal to have power sources that specifically cut out during peak demand in a heat wave. When river temps are too high, nuclear facilities are not allowed to use them for cooling.

Reminder:

If you’re in Vancouver, or any city going through a proposed austerity budget process with your city council, you might find my thread below valuable. Vancouver’s ruling right-wing party on Council went ahead with the austerity budget despite significant public opposition. Ideology over success.

Anyone in #mathsky can dis/prove the statement: "An ellipse where the nodes are infinitely far apart is equivalent to two parallel, straight lines?"

Since I did do my PhD in cyanobacteria growth and treatment optimization modeling AND work in the water treatment industry, I’m gonna share my theory as to what’s happening here and how to fix it. People are focusing on the painted bottom of the pool increasing residual heat, and while that 1/19

New in @science.org ...since our first discoveries of early tetrapods, they have been thought of as "amphibians" characterized by aquatic larvae. But is this true? For the first time, we report exceptional fossils of stem tetrapod babies that upend this paradigm. 1/n www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

"Corporate(tm)" anything ruins everything. Former employer wanted to "do the DEI", so they struck a DEI committee and filled it with women and BIPOC to do this extra task on top of their regular work. Then when the report was finalized, they showed it off to great fanfare... then didn't do anything.

So shitty companies are spending billions to make shitty AI products that only shitty CEOs want to force on others so they can justify their shitty layoffs so they can have higher shareholder returns, and the byproduct is everything else gets more expensive even for those who don't use LLMs. Great!

You can tell that Carney has been captured by the fossil fuel lobby. They can't even make a viable business case and he's shilling for them.

Exclusive: my interview with Guilbeault - he thinks Carney believes the markets will largely take care of climate, that this govt has a "negative bias" towards regulations, and that Canada will likely be sued for violating the net-zero law if it doesn't ditch it first thenarwhal.ca/guilbeault-e...

For white, land-owning males, yes. But for everyone? That only happened 60 years ago.

Awful. Dangerous. "The Carney government shut down a committee study Monday on a financial bill that includes sweeping changes to Canada’s pesticides law by allowing cabinet to overrule any pesticide ban the health minister imposes for being too toxic to the environment." #GiftLink 🎁 #CdnPoli

Climate science is moving beyond asking "Did climate change influence this event?" to "How did it affect people and nature?"

Something happened at a conference this past week made me think of this paper by @gidden.bsky.social again: Geologic carbon storage is limit to around 1,460 Gt of CO₂, highlighting the need for stringent emissions reductions to avoid breaching this limit before 2200. 🧪

“Palantir tracks everyone. So we built a site that tracks Palantir. They've been watching us. Now we can watch them. Contracts. Lawsuits. Executive pay. Global footprint. Lobbying activity. Media strategies. All in one place.”

Are you tired of international laws curbing your billionaire pedophile cult's CSAM peddling ambitions? Well have we got a product for you! Invest in space data centers, where the only laws you break are thermodynamics!

For all would-be SpaceX investors, reading "A City on Mars" is a strong recommend. Very funny on the many ways space is terrible, uneconomic, and the decades/centuries of (boring, non-phallic rocket related) research needed to make settlement even a vaguely realistic proposition.

For those of you interested in understanding El Niño event impacts, a useful primer is prior extreme El Niño events: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1997%E2... This one caused me to miss 2 weeks of school from an extreme ice storm that shut off the power of most of eastern Ontario and Québec.

The government must treat this as the emergency it is. Our sovereignty, democracy, and the lives of some of those who live here are threatened by a deadly combination of US billionaires, Russian interests and homegrown fascists.
