“if you take carbon out of the ground, you must put it back” - Our OpEd with Andrew Weaver @ajwvictoriabc.bsky.social and Myles Allen in the Calgary Herald.

The Royal Society of Canada have endorsed this important statement ahead of the forthcoming COP30 meeting in Brazil.

Great article www.quantamagazine.org/photos-captu... by @yasemin_sap in @QuantaMagazine

A new article published in @facetsjournal.bsky.social, co-authored by @ajwvictoriabc.bsky.social (FRSC), explores whether ocean alkalinity enhancement represents a viable #CO2 removal solution to global warming. Learn more below. 🌊

Weather stations fall silent as school network nears the end of its run cheknews.ca/weather-stat...

It’s been more than 20 years since I installed the 1st school-based weather station at Strawberry Vale Elementary on March 11, 2005. Now, the project is at a critical juncture. Do I shut it down, or do I try to reinvigorate it? Decision day is Sept. 30, 2025. www.andrewjweaver.ca/2025/08/14/s...

I’ve been investigating Paramount’s deal with Trump. Here’s what we know: - Trump sued CBS - CBS called the lawsuit “meritless” - Paramount (owner of CBS) still settled, handing $16 MILLION+ to Trump’s library - Paramount has a billion-dollar deal that needs Trump’s approval

This post, written by my father, was originally published on Mar 22 2016. I am reposting this it is particularly timely in light of the ongoing controversies in local governance happening around Victoria. His case for amalgamation is very compelling. #yyj #bcpoli www.andrewjweaver.ca/2025/06/30/t...

Should the @liberalca.bsky.social and @mark-carney.bsky.social who are talking about “decarbonized oil” be charged under Canada’s new anti-greenwashing law (Bill C-59) that they recently bought in? Decarbonized oil? Do you mean hydrogen? #cdnpoli #bcpoli @stevenguilbeault.bsky.social

The Geothermal Energy and Geofluids group at ETH Zurich is seeking a Senior Software Engineer and Technical Lead to lead their software development efforts for a wide range of research applications, including geoscience, energy systems, and mathematical modelling. #software #engineer #jobalert

Jonathan Wilkinson, one of Canada’s most effective ministers, not being in cabinet is shocking. It’s telling that Carney demoted the architect of Canada’s climate plan (representing Burnaby & North Shore) as they proclaim plans to dredge Burrard Inlet for Aframax tankers with BC NDP support #cdnpoli

My take on the Canadian Federal election for Vancouver Island. www.andrewjweaver.ca/2025/04/24/2...

Just did the CBC Vote Compass! I've always said I was a serial centrist! Looks like Vote Compass agrees. 😂 #cdnpoli

I could not in good conscience participate in this Gordon Conference in the US. I have cancelled my attendance. I join many other Canadians who have cancelled participating in events in the US. www.grc.org/machine-lear...

Eby just set a huge trap for the @bcgreens. It’s politics at its worst. If the greens vote for Bill 7 - “the NDP’s authoritarian regime act” they betray all BC. If they vote against it, Eby will say non confidence & call an election. Eby wants a majority. He may not get what he wants #bcpoli

This is a disturbingly obvious attempt to win a majority government. Let’s see if any NDP MLA has the courage to vote against this. The Greens could force the Speaker to cast the deciding vote. The federal NDP will now lose a ton of seats now in BC #cdnpoli #bcpoli 🍿 vancouversun.com/opinion/colu...

I rarely use Facebook but I found it rather unusual to see this sponsored ad appear in my feed. With Trump making America weak again, the DJIA likely heading for a major market correction after completing a double-top pattern Americans worldwide seem to want out. Putin is smiling!

This article is very disturbing and has inspired me to change my profile picture. malcolmnance.substack.com/p/urgent-war...

And so, today, the classic double top pattern was hit on the NYSE today. The obviously fiscally incompetent US president has just triggered a major market correction. He is making America Weak Again.

“In times of crisis, great leaders take decisive action while inspiring and protecting the vulnerable, offering them strength and hope in the darkest of hours. And great leaders also warn of the danger that awaits us.” #MerciTrudeau

Pretty rich for these folk to think that they got elected because of their views. BC really needs a centrist option. It would nice to see a real BC LIBERAL party: fiscally responsible, socially progressive and environmentally conscious. #bcpoli globalnews.ca/news/1107199...

This is what you get when you put conspiracy theorists, oligarchs and narcissistic sociopaths in positions of power! So many Americans voted against their own interest. And this was to be expected! www.newscientist.com/article/2469...

To my US friends. We look to you for leadership. Canada has always played a more diplomatic role. But now the US is an international pariah. Your leadership is utterly chaotic & playing into the hands of Putin & various oligarchs. Trump is making America weak again. What is wrong with you? #cdnpoli

Looks like the Dow is completing a classic double top pattern. That’s thanks to Trump and his incompetent approach to economic issues. He’s Making America Weak Again.

Canadians are busy watching the train wreck that is right wing fanaticism in the US. Thankfully this bodes well for the end of Pollievre’s quest for power #cdnpoli

In less than a month as president Trump has turned the once great America into a tinpot dictatorship that has alienated itself from the world. America is in the early stages of what looks like an emerging civil war. Russia is happy.

Anyone else enjoying ordering a Canadiano at their local coffee shop? I’m all for a national campaign to change the name and only supporting those coffee shops that do! #cdnpoli

As USA & Canada reminisce about a time that was, China surges forward to lead global renewable energy production and storage. Vested interests have limited innovation in North America. This will only harm our economy moving forward. www.carbonbrief.org/qa-how-china...

As expected, it has already happened! A US based colleague reached out to me today to see how they could relocate to Canada. Canada benefits from brain drain in response to the Trumpian shit show that is American economic policy under his leadership. #cdnpoli #bcpoli

It's been really sad-funny-interesting watching people arrive here lately with this attitude of "finally, a place not filled with odious buffoons" only for them to BE the odious buffoons...

Musks Nazi salutes are truly shocking. True colours are revealed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2bb...

I did a test after Musk took over Twitter. Opened a second account I made my (centre) selection of interests, reputable media, finance, environment orgs, sports, all political parties. Musk’s algorithm instead fed me Epoch Times, Rebel News, western Standard, True North, Fox, Alex Jones & Musk.

A recent piece I wrote on how environmental movements can be more effective with specific application to BC #bcpoli #cdnpoli #climatechange www.andrewjweaver.ca/2024/11/05/b...

I am incredibly excited that @markcarneyforpm.bsky.social has announced his bid for the @liberalpartycanada.bsky.social leadership. He is an exceptional candidate. If you haven't already done so, consider registering to support his bid: liberal.ca/register/

Here’s hoping that Mark Carney becomes the next Liberal leader and Canada’s next Prime Minister later this year. What an incredible leader he would be. #cdnpol youtu.be/zs8St-fF0kE?...

That fleeting moment when you feel like Taylor Swift with your own private jet 😂

It just feels so good 😂

I feel like my soul has been cleansed as I finally move over from X to Bluesky 100%.

Minutes after posting this on X I get notification that my blue tick is under review by X staff. Is this Elon Musk's version of free speech? Time for me to close my X account it seems!

Thank you for leading this effort @drcenz.bsky.social Climate anxiety is becoming more prevalent and the nuanced discussion of its various forms might be helpful to some clinicians.

Inspired by my colleague @katharinehayhoe.com I decided to to explore the bluesky roast! blueskyroast.com/roast/ajwvic...

Congratulations to @seos-uvic.bsky.social Research Scientist Ed Wiebe on his Faculty of Science Award for Service Excellence today. Ed is a great colleague, expert in research computing in SEOS and passionate about #scicomm. Here pictured with @ajwvictoriabc.bsky.social his colleague since 1997

I wonder when so-called "progressives" (who often behave like "regressives") will realize that they are the reason Trump got elected, Pollievre is way ahead in Canada & Rustad came out of nowhere to nearly win the last BC election? 1/3

An interesting article but it ignores the elephant in the room. The BC NDP turned the Carbon Tax into a general revenue stream to fund their pet initiatives. It was always meant to be revenue neutral but that went the way of the dodo when Eby became premier. thetyee.ca/News/2024/11... #bcpoli

The Paris Agreement is in trouble: UNFCCC needs to ratchet up their climate efforts. #climate

John Horgan's former press secretary Sheena McConnell released this skit from the 2018 Press Gallery dinner. John's authenticity and sense of humour were infectious. His memory will live on. #bcpoli
