“If we continue, however, with the policies that we have out there, we are clearly on a pathway now of 2.7 degrees or 3 degrees where adaptation is simply not doable anymore. This is just what it is. We cannot protect Amsterdam from sea level rise of 3m. This is just not doable,” Thallinger said.

According to Indigenous Watchdog, work on 16 calls to action hasn’t started, 22 have stalled, 42 are in progress and 14 are complete.

Good news! Small solar-panel kits that can be assembled as easily as an Ikea bookcase and plugged into a regular residential outlet could be coming soon to New Hampshire and Vermont. From our friends at @canarymedia.com:

A huge THANK YOU to our Grow the #Greenbelt cyclists who pedaled over 40KM on Saturday to support Environment #HamOnt's work to protect and grow the Greenbelt and so much more!

Had a great time at Open Streets in #HamOnt while tabling with @environmenthamont.bsky.social! Saw a lot of friends and we worked together to protect the "green belt" 😉🌱

Really frustrating to see CBC manufacturing consent to gut Canada Post! <$1B invested in a 100% Canadian public service to deliver things coast to coast to coast & employ 62k ppl securely? “unsustainable” $3-$30B /yr for 147k ppl to have boom-bust jobs for private, foreign oil & gas? “necessary”

Lots of great media pouring in as Sun Day hits high noon on the west coast! www.commondreams.org/news/celebra...

Terrific coverage here of yesterday's DRAW THE LINE protests from CTV National News: youtu.be/tuXYlgSuKtE?...

Here is some very good news: Despite the best efforts of the Trump administration, a giant fireball is on the verge of saving humanity. www.levernews.com/the-giant-fi...

And a great #DrawTheLine rally in #HamOnt!

#DrawTheLine in #HamOnt with @hamilton350org.bsky.social, allied groups and friends, including some of my fav union siblings from @cupwsttp.bsky.social local 548 ✊🏻🇵🇸

📣 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...

Protests to #killbill5 kicked off across Ontario, next week #hamont joins with a rally at City Hall! Wed July 9th @ 4:30 PM City Hall Forecourt Hamilton needs to join the movement against Bill 5, demand it be repealed before it’s ever used, say NO to any “special economic zones” in our city. /1

Did you see the Elders 4 Climate Sanity downtown #hamont on Friday? They were demonstrating in front of RBC! RBC uses your money to fund dirty oil & gas projects that pollute air, water, Indigenous communities If you have money at RBC, TD, Scotia, BMO, CIBC - switch to a local credit union!

we can all agree. creative developed with @thebikinglawyer.bsky.social

A reminder of the anti-sprawl bear that no #HamOnt councillors want to poke ahead of 2016. But if they keep widening the car lanes that sprawl relies on they're effectively handing developers an OLT victory. @mayorandreahorwath.bsky.social @hamilton350org.bsky.social youtu.be/_1i2et64rbA?...

And we’re gonna have a relaxed gathering at West Town tonight to celebrate & brainstorm what’s next!

Another #StopSprawl win in #HamOnt yesterday with council voting unanimously to keep a firm urban boundary! Thanks to everyone who wrote in, called or emailed their councillor, and especially those who were able to take the time to delegate! @environmentaldefence.ca @environmenthamont.bsky.social

In a Special Council Ratification meeting, which was immediately following today's Special Planning Committee meeting, Council has formally denied both urban boundary expansion applications in the White Church Road East, and Upper Stoney Creek Elfrida lands. #yhmcc #HamOnt

Hamilton City Council's Planning Committee votes *unanimously* to deny an urban boundary expansion application for the White Church lands. 364 hectares, located in Ward 11 near Hamilton Airport, bounded by Airport Road East, Miles Road, White Church Road East. #HamOnt #yhmcc

To put this headline differently: "LNG Canada's plant in Kitimat is about to become the single largest point source of GHG emissions in BC, and its LNG exports, once burned overseas, will generate carbon emissions roughly equivalent to half the total GHGs of BC." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Big thanks to Phil and @cameronkroetsch.bsky.social for taking time to meet with residents across #HamOnt to discuss how we can keep up the fight, and win, for a liveable and sustainable city!

With Hamilton 350 and Environment Hamilton, briefing Hamilton residents on how to defend their city's plan to build tens of thousands of family-sized homes inside existing neighbourhoods rather than squandering their construction and infrastructure on inefficient sprawl.

First time homebuyers? Looks like a rental property company that can & should make a little less profit and pay for amenities that their renters will need like common green spaces There are fairer ways to pay for things (wealth tax, income tax) but property taxes & usage fees are what cities get

Time to stop sprawl in #hamont, again! Learn all about it at our webinar on Thursday👇 Register here: zoom.us/meeting/register/tJIrceyrpzMiHNaXB7jVwRCnlCykveD1iH_V%23/registration With guest speakers @environmentaldefence.ca @ward2hamilton.bsky.social @environmenthamont.bsky.social

Paris & @annehidalgo.bsky.social are praised for their visionary, progressive city-building, but they don’t get nearly enough credit for just being really pragmatic! Everything they’re doing is common sense. They’re moving a lot more people with less space while cleaning the air & cooling the city.

Our Coalition has been driving down the long road to accessible transit, but we keep hitting road blocks. In today's Spec, Brad asked "What will it take for the HSR and city council to understand the message from disabled people?" Link in bio or: www.thespec.com/opin... 1/3

Not in a developing country on the other side of the world. Here. In America. In whatever it is you call Texas. And it will keep getting worse as long as fossil fuel pollution continues.

Thanks everyone who came to our Eco Hub table at Art Crawl tonight! See you again in July #hamont 💚

You can’t underwrite homes in areas where the probability of destruction is not only high—but increasing. You can’t make the numbers work when wildfire seasons are longer, fires more intense, and the climate system more volatile. www.forbes.com/sites/philde...

Great Bike Day in Hamilton today! @cityofhamilton.bsky.social

It seems greed has transformed the Shire into Mordor.

There's a disturbing trend in #Ontario: developers are trying to gut green building standards so they can make more profit and leave homeowners and tenants on the hook with higher energy bills. Please tell you MPP this is not okay, speak up for Ontario: www.torontoenvironment.org/climate-safe...

This was an epic feat - we built a 95-metre wide installation to tell @markcarneyforpm.bsky.social to pick a path, say no to pipelines and YES to bold climate action. We want an E-W grid, green jobs and homes, not divisive pipelines. www.instagram.com/reel/DJ-Nnzk...

Yes, very disappointing to see this from the Canada Pension Plan. Effectively, the CPP is asking us to stake our retirement futures by betting against our own kids.

This is a hell of a line to drop into a straight news story “… the cycling lobby — who wields influence at city hall with bureaucrats, elected officials and the media” www.thestar.com/politics/pro...

🔥9 in 10 people want stronger action on climate — across continents, cultures, & communities — united in the belief that our governments must do more. We are the majority! 🌎✊ We need to keep building momentum to push our leaders to act fast to redesign our energy system & protect our futures.

THANK YOU to everyone who came out last week for the @fridaysforfuture.bsky.social rally in #HamOnt 🌎 Great community building with students from @climatejusticemac.bsky.social and stay tuned for more collab events!
