We don't need this. It will burn enough natural gas to power a city of 1.2 million people. Meanwhile, over in York UK, Drax wants to power a data center by burning enough *forest ground into wood pellets* to power a city of 850,000. This is madness.

Chocolatiers wasted no time raising prices when cocoa prices tripled. Let's see how long it takes for their prices to come back down now that cocoa prices have dropped 75% due to a supply glut.

The EU is bowing to the orange menace.

Milei's libertarian government hasn't figured out that you cannot eat or drink money.

The rubes running the EPA have lost their minds.

With less than five years to go, Canada is less than halfway to its 30x30 target. Very few countries are on track. Biodiversity loss is the most urgent threat we face because once it is lost there is no way to replace it.

Big progress in Scotland, which has recognized that ecocide must be treated as "grave criminal wrongdoing" and agreed in principle with having stronger criminal penalties for severe environmental damage.

Folks in the US can ask their representative and senators to support the Udall-Eisenhower Arctic Wilderness Act, which has been introduced to the House 4 times since 2007. Folks in Canada can ask the government to take legal and diplomatic action to protect the Porcupine caribou herd.

“There’s no borders for us.” And there are no borders for the Porcupine caribou herd. "We've been fighting for 40 years for this, … there's way more at stake than anyone ever knows.” Join the fight. www.nationalobserver.com/2026/01/28/n...

British Columbians, through BC Hydro, will subsidize a US private equity-owned Texas company with billions of dollars collected through electricity bills. Ksi Lisims LNG should be cancelled.

The Garry Oak ecosystem exists in the places that are nicest for human occupation. That's why 95% of it is gone in SW BC, and why this project is so important.

While distracted by the US government run amok, please remember that Russia continues to commit war crimes every single day.

Two things: 1. When I heard about Citizens United the first words out of my mouth were, "America is doomed." I left the country two years later. 2. The shit has hit the fan, and I am heartened by the non-violent response of Americans. They know it's a trap and their democracy depends upon restraint.

William Kurelek - After the Blizzard in Manitoba, 1967 I wasn't in Manitoba for the March 1966 blizzard, but I was there in April 1976. A lot of places looked like this. Not kidding.

My guess is Mark Rutte reminded (educated) Trump that Greenland is littered with US bases that have been empty since the end of the cold war, and that there is already a security agreement in place between Denmark and the US.

Mark Carney shook the global tree today.

It can be done. This indigenous-owned mine will use a highly efficient magnesium extraction process that delivers up to 98 per cent lower carbon emissions than conventional processes and an extraction rate of 91 to 94 per cent of magnesium while generating *no waste*.

Fighting back... “The economics don’t work. The politics don’t really work. Any company that does win the rights to explore [for oil and gas] can anticipate that they will need two engineers and 146 lawyers because they will be in court for a very, very long time.”
