The oil and gas industry in Alberta is something like $320 billion in the hole for their clean up costs. So of course solar panels are the problem. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Canadian satire outlet @the-goose-media.bsky.social produces a great two-minute recap of the Mark Carney-Danielle Smith oil pipeline announcement. 👇 youtube.com/shorts/2sCuj...

We know that increased emissions [from fossil fuels like LNG] means increased temperatures and we know increased temperatures means increased death,” @timtakaro.bsky.social @cape-acme.bsky.social #bcpoli #heatwave #climatecrisis

My most doomy take is that liberal governments were in fact serious about decarbonizing, but then realized that carbon capture doesn’t actually work and they would have to manage the devaluation of trillions of fossil capital, and they quietly decided that they would rather let the world burn. 1/2

I will continue to periodically share this article. Best break down of the lies we are being told on TMX profitability. Anyone who thinks a new pipeline will be different is living a lie

Subsidizing fossil fuel expansion schemes, as Smith, Carney and Eby keep doing, means killing people in future heatwaves. We need a green new deal to accelerate the transition off fossil fuels via electric heat pumps etc, etc, etc. #cdnpoli #bcpoli #abpoli

ICYMI the Trans Mountain Pipeline IS LOSING MONEY. “The only reason Trans Mountain looks like it’s making a profit is that most of the debt has been moved off their books... It’s a misrepresentation of finances” thetyee.ca/Analysis/202... #cdnpoli #bcpoli

I agree with Kyle. This article (among others) has really galvanized me. There is NO economic case for another pipeline. There isn't even one for Trans Mountain. It's sinking us. Perpetuating this lie is further worsening all of the enormous costs/damage from climate change bsky.app/profile/eric...

Prior to being elected prime minister, Carney dubbed climate change “an existential threat.” This week, he... greased the skids for a suite of LNG projects and a new million barrel-per-day oil pipeline to the West Coast. @chrishatch.bsky.social mailchi.mp/nationalobse... #bcpoli #cdnpoli

The #climatecrisis is everywhere, with #heatwave fatalities piling up on every continent. And in Canada, Carney, Smith and Eby have teamed up to use public $$$$$$ to make the crisis worse. 😬 #cdnpoli #bcpoli #abpoli

Carney has been broadcasting to Canada that his government’s former plan to tackle the climate crisis was “too expensive,” but the reality is that climate disasters have become too expensive to ignore. (🧵1/4)

seeing more of a particular brand of aggro post lately ("if you weren't a coward you'd be doing xyz thing that would have you dead or in jail" from posters who appear to themselves neither be dead or in jail). could just be feds/bots/trolls trying to entrap people on here but a PSA just in case

Así estamos.

well that was quick

Even the NY Times Editorial Board understands that #ClimateChange is one of the major challenges facing America. What are we doing here, people?

This fracking jerk wants to spend Canadians' public money on a money-losing pipeline that is illegal under international law. Canada should be upholding international law, including parts related to climate, not openly violating it. And who breaks the law to lose money? #cdnpoli #climate #bcpoli

(2/3) Your focus on diversification through gas & LNG doesn't make economic sense: bsky.app/profile/thee... You hurt trade diversification by deregulating pesticides and putting Canadians in harms way. You don't care about climate change: bsky.app/profile/rach...

You lied & now are wasting tens of billions of taxpayer dollars on a pipeline: www.pembina.org/media-releas... Albertans didn't want climate policy cuts, nor for a pipeline to be publicly funded: www.theenergymix.com/polling-show... & you want to put the risk of LNG onto First Nations communities:

This is absolutely miserable and I'm having a wonderful time

Mark Carney promises to take climate change seriously once every other problem on Earth is solved

The Right Wing’s new favourite guy in the United States, everyone.

Not the kind of headlines we need. Too many people will remember the 'respectfully' as the 'disagree' fades into the background. The problem here, I think, is that Guilbeault is a decent guy & Carney isn't. The latter also uses nice words as he cuts the throat of a liveable planet. #TalkingTheWalk

Guilbeault: The world is moving away from fossil fuels, very rapidly. And what happened in Iran and the Strait of Hormuz is just going to accelerate that. So part of me is very optimistic.

Guilbeault: Canadian taxpayers are going to be on the hook for tens of billions of dollars for yet another fossil fuel infrastructure, which we don't know whether or not it will be profitable in the long term.

I stand with Steven Guilbeault! "“This idea that we have to scrap our climate change plan that we had committed to implementing during the last election campaign, because quote-unquote ‘things have changed,’ simply doesn’t hold the test of facts,” Guilbeault said." www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

“The issue here in British Columbia is not about, which Tweedledee or Tweedledumb pipeline proposal has come forward, the issue is much larger than that, it’s much more grave than that: It’s about the #climatecrisis.” Grand Chief Stewart Philip @ubcic.bsky.social #bcpoli #cdnpoli

new metaphor just dropped

Great letter in TC by Terrace resident reminds us that fracked gas (LNG) is dangerous on every scale. Local through global. (Even the provincial govt admits that #LNG is as dangerous for climate stability as coal.) Have you written a letter to a paper this month? #yyj #bcpoli #climatecrisis

New from me. Mark Carney’s Oprah giveaway day, and a vexing question: if a new pipeline is a money-printing machine, why does no private company want to build it so that taxpayers have to? #cdnpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/opi...

The Tall Ships' iconic Transatlantic journey was a high profile demonstration of wind energy. But top honors for impact in 1976 MUST go to the 25-kw wind turbine erected at @umassamherst.bsky.social, whose builders went on to launch the modern wind industry.... spectrum.ieee.org/william-hero...

The Eby/Carney parallels are remarkable and not subtle. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Alberta and Ottawa said any new pipeline would be privately funded. Today that promise was broken: a private company will cover just 10%. Taxpayers will front up tens of billions of dollars. If oil exports are such an economic opportunity for Canada, why won’t companies invest? buff.ly/Ao6yGt3

Canadians — you and me — are set to pay for yet another oil pipeline that could devastate an at-risk killer whale population and worsen the climate crisis. Well, provided everything progresses as Mark Carney announced alongside a beaming Alberta Premier Danielle Smith last night. Here's why:

Neither Eby nor Boultbee belong in the #NDP. #bcpoli

#MarkCarney is yesterday's man. This is an absolutely hopeless failure of the moment. He must be defeated before he can complete the great harm that is his plan in turning Canada's future during a time of #EnergyTransition over to the foreign-owned #BigOil world burners. #cdnpoli

To be honest, I'm feeling heavyhearted after yesterday's pipeline announcement. Climate-related death and suffering are here now, but instead of phasing out fossil fuels we're committing to decades of ramping up. And most Canadians seem okay with that. I'm genuinely sorrowful. #cdnpoli #bcpoli #yyj
