Tens of thousands in 70+ communities across Canada took to the streets in an unprecedented & historic cross-movement mobilisation to #DrawtheLine and demand Mark Carney & the federal government pick a side: injustice, violence, and climate destruction — or a just and safe future for all of us.✊

I wonder if leaders will ever admit that smearing all protests to stop the genocide actually contributed to the genocide. Will there ever be that level of self reflection and honesty or are we just going to get fake surprise like this after mass death.

Watching @mark-carney.bsky.social - Canada must be next.

I’m in New York for UN Secretary-General António Guterres’ special address on climate. He has a hopeful story amidst the chaos and loss of climate disaster. Stick with me to follow his speech, and check out the report his comments are based on! www.un.org/en/climatech...

As Indigenous nations meet with Carney today over his major projects plan, no list of projects has been made public. But after speaking with government sources we're got the likely front-runners. Here they are, spanning LNG, power grids & port upgrades. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/07/17/a...

Yep, you heard that right... Republican lawmakers are complaining that Canada is ruining their summer. Instead of blaming arson and poor forest management, let's address the elephant in the room: the FOSSIL FUEL INDUSTRY. Let's hold them accountable >> act.gp/4lZqEGQ

A most Canadian moment

I see we are having a/c discourse today my friends, respectfully, this is 101 level climate discourse staying cool saves lives and you do not need to feel guilty about it. promise. no one benefits from your a/c guilt, least of all the planet also heat pumps that both heat and cool are so great

Appeasement doesn’t work. We need to get our elbows up again and fight back against Trump’s attacks. #canlab #cdnpoli canadianlabour.ca/statement-fr...

The US Digital Services Tax concession was so worth it

All countries, EU and non, should recognise there’s no ‘deals’ with Trump; there’s only the continued threat of new and unpredictable tariffs. It would be nice if blocs and countries would coordinate to respond with counter tariffs on the US equal to the maximum tariff imposed on each of them.

🚨Trump shut down a federal website on climate change in the SAME WEEK climate-fuelled floods killed at least 120 people in Texas. His anti-environment agenda is funded by the fossil fuel industry It’s time to make polluters pay for loss and damage. Join the #PollutersPayPact today 👉🏽 act.gp/3FccTES

We are in new territory with Trump’s latest trade letter, threatening a 50% tariff on imports from Brazil starting Aug. 1 —The US runs a rare trade surplus with Brazil, so there’s no deficit to fix —Trump says these duties are explicitly over political concerns, not economic ones

The actual bird nerds have long since spoken on this! The Audubon Society supports wind power as a clear net positive for bird populations and biodiversity - w/ targeted protections for a few highly threatened species in a few sensitive geographies (e.g. CA Condors).

But while hawks frame BRICS as trying to overthrow global order, this year's summit is in many ways a strong defense of multilateralism. In the communique, there's strong commitment to the WTO, UNFCCC/Paris Agreement, IMF, and the UN (4/8)

Western coverage of the BRICS Summit has alternatively framed the group as insurgents determined to overthrow the world order or a disorganized, incoherent group bound to accomplish nothing. A closer look at what happened at the Summit reveals a much more nuanced picture (1/8)

Mark Carney’s decision to rescind Canada’s digital services tax is a cowardly move that shows Trump he can be pressured into making trade concessions. It also shows how much Carney is willing to give into corporate demands, and particular those of the tech industry.

Lots to unpack about the Rio #BRICS Summit, but noteworthy how much more this Leaders' Declaration had to say regarding the importance of combating climate change and upholding multilateralism to do so than the #g7 (which literally didn't even utter the word climate) brics.br/en/documents...

📣 100+ groups are urging PM Mark Carney to build an electricity grid powered by #renewables, not fossil fuels. Updating Canada's grid can: ✅ Bring cheaper, more secure power ✅ Bring good jobs, better health ✅ Uphold Indigenous & workers’ rights Full release: dsfdn.org/PressRelease...

🌍 “We’re seeing rising inequities, with brolygarchs calling the shots - burning our communities and democracies down. Many are asking whether what’s happening here connects to their realities at all.”

Spending some time in the Netherlands and thoroughly enjoying the Dutch media roasting Mark Rutte nonstop for making Trump a daddy

“ This bill will raise your electricity costs and cook the planet to give tax cuts to the richest people ever.” - Sen Schatz “Trump is jamming through a bill that rips away health care, closes hospitals, raises grocery and utility bills to give tax breaks to billionaires.” - Sen Warren

Statistical Review of World Energy for 2024 is now available. Hidden inside the large spreadsheet is this gem. Note that calling a peak is fraught with problems. Often you don't know peak happened until a few years after. But there are SO many signs pointing to this moment coming!
