Donald Trump incorrectly claimed that a UN committee admitted climate projection Representative Concentration Pathway RCP 8.5 was wrong, when in fact, a scientific review paper deemed the scenario implausible due to advancements in climate action. www.cbc.ca/news/climate...

Turns out, Trump's critique was not the flex he thought it was, in fact just the opposite. www.cbc.ca/news/climate...

This is correct - we don't need to use old "worst case" climate scenarios because successful deployments of climate solutions have precluded these old scenarios. That said, the new worst case scenarios are still pretty scary - we need to work harder to preclude them too! www.cbc.ca/news/climate...

Scenes from Vancouver as people from the Iranian community celebrate the U.S.-Israel attack on Iran and the killing of Ayatollah Khamenei, calling attention to the civilians killed in the Islamic Republic/IRGC crackdowns on protesters, and rallying in support of Reza Pahlavi

A scathing examination of how a MAGA fail up is on a mission to destroy vital news outlets … yet somehow still failing at even that.

NEW: “CBS Evening News” producer Alicia Hastey sends a bombshell farewell note: Stories are “evaluated not just on their journalistic merit but on whether they conform to a shifting set of ideological expectations.”

Indeed a sad anniversary marking the loss of a beautiful soul. She also called Southern Ontario home for many years. Linger is a beautiful song, but Zombie is a wake-up song … in more ways than one!

Happy holidays from Vancouver where drivers celebrate by speeding through crosswalks as ppl cross. 2 different ones in less than 5 min … one a cab making a left turn while ppl crossed from both sides, the other typical jerk right turning well past the light. Oh… make that 3.

Since the start of Israel’s war on Gaza in October 2023, the Israeli military has killed nearly 200 Palestinian journalists. The latest killings were targeted attacks on reporters covering the war in Gaza, according to the news network that employed them.

Thanks so much to @drwendyrocks.bsky.social & @judithgeology.bsky.social for helping explain what’s happening in this astounding video that was caught on camera during the March 28 earthquake. Incredible to see the force of this quake.

If I were the owner of the @washingtonpost.com, I would not do a deal with the people who dismembered my columnist. Seems like a low bar, but Bezos managed to not clear yet another one. The world is awash in capital and that this is the choice should tell you all. He’s so poor, all he has is money.

The move aligns 🇫🇮’s legal framework with 🇪🇺’s 2008 decision … that requires all member states to criminalise the public condoning, denial or gross trivialisation of genocide, crimes against humanity & war crimes as recognised by international courts www.helsinkitimes.fi/finland/finl...

I will never understand why NPR continues to be tied to federal government funding. Very little of their overall budget comes from the federal government. Local/rural stations rely on CPB funding but all of these amounts can easily be raised with a properly organized fundraising drive. Enough.

One of the people fired from NOAA today is the director of the Ocean Acidification Program. That program also leads the U.S. government's effort on marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR). The destruction of American science is incomprehensible.
