Today, we took out an ad to send a clear message to Parliament Hill and the press: BC will not stop defending the North Coast Tanker Ban (the only piece of legislation standing in the way of a new northern oil pipeline).

The wildfire situation in B.C. has grown extensively over the last week. Officials reported more than 5,900 lightning strikes and hundreds of new fires, many of which are out of control.

"Canadian oil lobbyists have been remarkably, and appallingly, consistent in demanding that the government of #Canada follow Donald Trump’s lead and eliminate federal #climate policy in favour of boosting #fossilfuels.” @climatekeith.bsky.social #climateaction #cdnpoli thenarwhal.ca/carney-clima...

Australia kick-started the solar revolution with government subsidies on rooftop solar 20 years ago. Now they've done the same with batteries, and it is changing the grid for good. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I was shocked when I first saw these results from standard climate models used in IPCC reports: for high emissions, the Atlantic overturning circulation #AMOC shuts down in all 9 models that ran past 2100, and is well on the way to shutdown by 2100. Our paper on that is out today.🧵

The world’s top court says governments must protect people from climate change. 34 groups — including Sierra Club BC — are calling on B.C. to strengthen its 2030 climate targets and end approvals for new fossil fuel projects. Read more: vancouversun.com/news/climate...

The B.C. government is facing criticism for offering $200M in funding to electrify the proposed Cedar LNG project — a move that increases climate and legal risks after a recent International Court of Justice ruling. 🔗 www.nationalobserver.com/2025/07/31/n...

🚫 No tankers on B.C.’s North Coast. AB Premier Danielle Smith is pushing for a new oil pipeline to BC’s coast. But PM Mark Carney would need to lift the North Coast Tanker ban first. Let's make it clear: BC chooses clean water, not oil spills. 📢 Send your message: sierraclub.bc.ca/protect-the-...

Canada’s State of the Forests report paints a rosy picture that downplays the real impacts of industrial logging on biodiversity, Indigenous rights & carbon emissions. That’s why we worked with a coalition of environmental organizations to release a counter-report. Read it here: stateoftheforest.ca

Ending the use of #fossilfuels and protecting #forest are indispensable parts of #climateaction. We cannot stabilize the #climate without ­protecting #forests and we can't protect forests without ­stabilizing the climate www.cnn.com/2025/07/02/c...

Former federal minister of environment & climate change David Anderson is speaking out: the Oil Tanker Moratorium is still key to protecting BC’s North Coast from oil spills. This law bans oil tankers from navigating some of the world’s most dangerous waters. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

A proposed ski resort in B.C.'s Kootenay mountains threatens local wildlife and ecosystems, critics say. They're worried the planned review process won't capture the extent of its environmental risks. Via @sobittersosweet.bsky.social thenarwhal.ca/zincton-ski-...

The North Coast tanker ban isn’t just a policy, it’s a promise to protect what we love, honour Indigenous leadership & choose a thriving future over risk. Read this op-ed by Shelley Luce, Sierra Club BC’s Director of Campaigns and Programs, in the Vancouver Sun: vancouversun.com/opinion/op-e...

Last week, PM Carney said a new oil pipeline to B.C.’s North Coast was “highly, highly likely.” This mirrors the rejected Enbridge Northern Gateway project—opposed by 130+ First Nations and defeated after years of legal and grassroots resistance. Read more: www.nationalobserver.com/2025/07/21/o...

We need new transmission lines for communities & clean energy! Subsidies for fossil fuels like LNG make climate change worse and make BC liable for damages, according to the International Court of Justice. Wind projects create jobs & clean energy with NO govt funding. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Canada’s State of the Forests report leaves out the truth: old-growth logged, caribou habitat vanishing, biodiversity ignored. The consequences are devastating. Our shadow report exposes it all 👉 StateOfTheForest.ca #StateOfTheForests #ForestsNotFiction #Cdnpoli

The #CleanBC survey is your opportunity to share your ideas on BC’s climate plan – you can weigh in by Aug 1. Our blog below explains how to participate with suggestions for at least one thing that you could say about each of the topics (buildings, clean energy, transportation & more) 👇 #bcpoli

After record climate damages in 2024, Canada’s insurers have spent $150,000 on ominous ads about worsening severe weather — without mentioning climate change — as experts warn of a looming public backlash over soaring home insurance premiums. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/07/29/n...

Billions of dollars are given to oil and gas corporations each year in the form of subsidies from governments in Canada. Exactly how many billions is a matter of debate. And what even is a subsidy anyway? @drewanderson.bsky.social explains: thenarwhal.ca/oil-and-gas-...

New UBC study: clearcut logging can make floods up to 18x more likely. Yet BC doesn’t require watershed-level impact checks before logging, even as climate change increases flood risks. As @globalhome.bsky.social says, we need to reform forestry to protect communities. 🔗 www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Israeli public figures call for ‘crippling sanctions’ on Israel over Gaza starvation

Opinion by @sierraclubbc.bsky.social's Shelley Luce: BC's North Coast tanker ban is a line we should never cross. The moratorium isn’t just a policy, it’s a promise to protect what we love, to honour Indigenous leadership, and to choose a thriving future over risk. vancouversun.com/opinion/op-e...

Here's an extreme example of the reality that there is no absolute scarcity, only distribution politics. In Gaza created as a tool of genocidal war. But the same is true of almost all human needs, including housing here in the USA.

Concerns are rising over a zombie pipeline & tanker proposal—rebranded as a “Project of National Interest” (PONI). It's not viable. Just another attempt to revive a bad idea and force risky projects onto BC lands and waters. ⚡️Tell @davidebybc.bsky.social: no new pipelines in BC. #bcpoli
