This is what many of us have been saying. Part 3 of the Planning & Infrastructure Bill is based on a myth: that we don't have enough homes because wildlife and green spaces are protected. It will solve nothing, and inflict terrible harm on our remaining ecosystems www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

We wrote this to help you imagine how quickly a city can change under Trump… Charlotte was once a place of slow, easy mornings, coffee cups clinking in cozy cafés, jazz drifting through open doors on Tryon Street, families stepping onto the light rail with strollers and soccer bags.

Sunday reads: Nature Alberta’s summer publication is out now, & it’s a special #water issue. Covering water #conservation issues in the province of #Alberta. You can read for free online at naturealberta.ca/magazine/ Magazine - Nature Alberta #naturealberta #glaciers #waterconservation #wetlands

Alberta don’t be fooled by Smith’s deflection & gaslighting. We don’t need a waste of tax payer $$ for a bogus AB next panel!

It’s been a long week. Every day under this administration somehow feels worse than the last. We know how exhausting this fight can be, but don’t give up. Get some rest tonight. Tomorrow is another big day. Many of our coalition members spent today traveling to event sites around the country.

Great Grey owl!

WHAT THE F**K!

We just want to say—we’re sorry. We know how emotionally exhausting all of this is, and we truly understand. But you’re not alone. We’re in this together.

Excited for all the new American banana and coffee factories.

Absolutely devastating study released last week on North American pollinator biodiversity: "We assessed the extinction risk of nearly 1,600 species of vertebrate and insect pollinators and found that more than one in five species is at risk of extinction."

So you think grocery prices are high now? While the new is filled with outrages from DC, a double whammy is coming for US agriculture this year. We've had a normal die-off this Winter, but we keep native bees that are more resistant to local threats. #apismellifera www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer. These are all the work of Ethan Swope, an LA-based photojournalist working for AP. You can follow his remarkable reporting here👇 www.instagram.com/ethanswopeph...

"The current fires are reminders of the costs of forgetting." - @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social

Our annual temperature report will come out, alongside NASA & NOAA, at 11 AM ET / 8 AM PT / 5 PM CET today. I'll also be doing a thread to summarize the results.

"every fraction of a degree matters" is true as hell. In the same way that releasing CO2 hurts people and planet, avoiding its release saves us from potential harm This isn't some saccharine 'hopeful' message: it's the hard, inarguable physical reality. www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/w...

Global losses from natural disasters reached 320 billion U.S. dollars in 2024 The LA fires alone could be half that amount in the new year www.cleanenergywire.org/news/global-...

No, the world has not breached the 1.5C global warming target. It’s a climate target - which means it’s an average that must be sustained over at least a decade. We currently sit at 1.2 C. Which is already very bad. The science is clear: every bit of warming matters, every action matters.

Our 2024 Annual Temperature Report is now out. Record warmth affecting billions of people, but also worrying signs of faster than expected warmth. 🧪🌊

My thoughts on the fires in LA www.forbes.com/sites/marsha...

Actual Data Show Renewables Reduce Electricity Prices My unpublished response to Bjorn Lomborg's @wsj.com op-ed of Jan. 1 "Green Electricity Costs a Bundle," which claims, “the notion that solar and wind power save money is an environmentalist lie.” web.stanford.edu/group/efmh/j...

These are the key facts everyone needs to know about climate change, according to @yaleclimatecomm.bsky.social. I shared this post across 7 different social media platforms, including FB, LI, Mastodon, Threads, X and Twitter both pre-and post-Musk. Here's how their engagement stacked up. 🧵

May be a low bar, but Justin Trudeau's government did more to fight climate change than any government in Canadian history, second place is not even remotely close.

Is it just me, but has the transition from “Trudeau must resign immediately” to “How dare Trudeau betray and abandon Canada by resigning at this incredibly perilous time” from certain voices and media out there been absolutely lightning fast? I’m starting to suspect some bad faith out there…

According to the City of Paris, in the last 10 years 150,000 trees have been planted and 45 hectares of parks created in the city, to improve quality-of-life today, and also to help the city adapt to and manage summer heatwaves of 50℃ (122F) by 2050. On top of everything else Paris has been doing.

Your 'moment of doom' for Dec. 21, 2024 ~ The latest buzz. “This study shows us that we have entire regions that could lose their primary pollinator as the climate warms, which could be catastrophic for those ecosystems.”

Alberta’s Eastern Slopes & Rocky Mountain foothills are special place which deserve the highest level of environmental protections. This am the UCP opened released policy which would allow more coal development & more pollution. #ArtAdventCalendar day 20 is dedicated to preserving these landscapes.

“Dr. Melissa Lem, a family physician and president of @cape-acme.bsky.social, said this year’s extreme weather events paint a 'stark picture' of the escalating health crisis caused by climate change.” Yesterday ECCC released its 2024 Top 10 weather story list. /1 calgaryherald.com/news/local-n...

The federal government just made it easier to expand a coal mine in Alberta, while the Danielle Smith goverment made it more difficult to transmit renewable energy. Here's the latest environmental news from @drewanderson.bsky.social on the province that never sleeps. thenarwhal.ca/alberta-roun...

Today I watched a raven chase a great grey owl though our yard. The puppies were not impressed.

The EPA only requires pesticide manufacturers to perform 3 narrow tests on adult honeybees to assess toxicity to... all insects. Sometimes the 3rd test is waived. That must change to protect insects, according to a petition from @xercessociety.bsky.social. www.thenewlede.org/2024/12/epa-...
