Go beyond talking about the challenges of the climate crisis (& yes they're big). This study says talking about how to implement solutions is how we get people to act.

Don’t believe the deception: clean energy is good for the planet AND good for your wallet. #RenewableEnergy

On the importance of highlighting solutions to address climate impacts: from adaptation measures to keep communities safe from floods, fires & storms, to reducing emissions with clean energy projects. Climate communication emphasizing concrete solutions matters.

We will be here for an hour

BREAKING & BIG: Today in PARIS, citizens voted in a referendum to PEDESTRIANIZE 500 MORE of the city's streets, giving fresh momentum to efforts by city leaders to create people-places, curb car usage, and improve air quality. 66% of Parisians voted in favour of the measure, official results showed!

Gratitude to @citizenslobbyca.bsky.social & allied groups for bringing the urgency of climate action to Parliament Hill this week!

Biking is one of the most effective ways to reduce our carbon footprints from transportation, esp compared with car ownership & even monthly public transit passes. Regular bicycle maintenance is also very affordable. Especially if you do it yourself, with used parts and borrowed tools.

One take on why the US will never be a climate leader.. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aq14...

“There’s an order of operations in which we need to implement climate solutions,” said Daniel Jasper, the policy director for the climate solutions nonprofit Project Drawdown. “Methane is something we call an emergency brake, because we’ve got to do it now.” grist.org/politics/tru...

Last weekend: Wildfires in Oklahoma. Tornadoes in Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas & Missouri. Dust storms in Kansas & Texas. Those responsible have names and job titles. Time to #MakePollutersPay.

Thanks @sabs.bsky.social for a fun conversation and for telling my story!

Tell PM Carney to champion a People's Power Grid and deliver bold action on affordability, climate, and energy independence in the face of U.S. aggression. allofustogether.ca/peoples-powe...

It’s time to future-proof Canada’s economy. We don’t do that by backsliding on climate. We do it by getting big finance behind job-creating climate solutions. Tell party leaders to include climate-aligned finance principles in their election platforms now. 👉 ecojustice.ca/tell-party-l...

Here's the letter we sent today to incoming PM @mark-carney.bsky.social, following his Liberal leadership race win last night. ✍️ The new PM must build on 🇨🇦Canada's climate progress from the past decade—and fight climate change and economic threats at the same time. shorturl.at/ogmIJ

“Just like that Carolyn was gone. I had been mowing Carolyn’s lawn every Thursday for the past eight years. She was a lovely lady who didn’t deserve to die like that. I still miss her today. We need to address #climatechange now.” – Amber Read more Canadian stories👇 allofustogether.ca/fedup/#stories

“Prime Minister-designate @markcarneyforpm.bsky.social, will you introduce the necessary incentives to ensure that Canada doesn’t fall further into the “tragedy of the horizon” that sacrifices future generations on the altar of short-term profit?” READ HERE 👉 ecojustice.ca/open-letter-...

The biggest deregulatory action of its kind in US history will also be the biggest mass murder in US history.

A climate disaster in waiting...

Are we surprised? Nope.

A Crown Corporation can be more effective, efficient & save money over a public-private partnership - a Crown Corp is a great alternative for building high-speed rail in Canada. Imagine connecting the whole country by high-speed rail.. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/03/07/o...

One of the most important solutions to climate change is *stopping deforestation* -- yet we still largely ignore it. We need to work on this...fast. After all, deforestation emits more CO2 than the *entire US economy*. Some thoughts about moving forward: drawdown.org/insights/how...

In the last couple of decades, the flow of CO2 in Canada's managed forests has completely reversed. Chainsaws and fossil fuel pollution are cranking open the floodgates releasing this enormous reservoir of forest carbon into the atmosphere. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/02/19/a...

Looking forward to joining this event tonight...

The time is now for Canada to lock in maritime decarbonization and ensure it meets global social and environmental commitments by locking out dangerous LNG & keeping it out of our ports. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/01/30/o...

Great news! Better batteries means more renewable energy, which means better energy security. Who needs pipelines of the past when we can have renewable energy for our future? ☀️ 🌬️ #goodclimatenews

Many of the Trump administration's actions will kill millions of people worldwide in the coming years, including those related to weather, the environment, and climate. That's not hyperbole.

Despite what you see in movies-- only a few Wx forecasters use storm chaser trucks and hurricane hunter airplanes! The rest use desks. Save the desks!

A #BigOil giant backing down on its climate promises?? Who would’ve guessed 😑

Trump said last month the US didn’t want or need Canada’s oil, gas, vehicles, or lumber, but here we are. It's disturbing how reluctant some Canadian premiers & others are to just admit Keystone’s time has passed. We need to let it die. energymixweekender.substack.com/p/trump-trie...

The best that can be said about the Liberal leadership debates is that climate action was on the agenda. @chrishatch.bsky.social writes www.nationalobserver.com/2025/03/03/o...

According to new research, scientists have recorded the warmest ocean temperatures in human history last year — breaking records once again. #ClimateEmergency The fossil-fueled climate crisis is a threat to us all. We need your voice in this movement!

⚡️This Thursday, countries at the United Nations #COP16 took a major step forward in the protection of #biodiversity!

It’s about time we start pricing in the damage fossil fuels do to our bodies and the climate. Way to go Ashland! Which city will be next? 👀
