I got a call yesterday from someone who wanted to unite the construction transition initiatives in the capital, which is cool. But the real construction transition is coming from the countryside.

Coldest air on Earth today is in the US with temps up to 40 degrees below normal in the Midwest/ Great Lakes. Actual lows are as low as -20F there. Cold US is due to widespread relative warmth in the Arctic, with record low Arctic Sea Ice extent. This “warmth” displaces the polar cold pool south.

** at the moment this is OK-ish for me as it's lowering cost for the innovative people bringing this tech to scale up in the fossil distorted market with industrial products on marginal costs leading to the crisis we see. But let's prevent this soon as it is going to be a loophole.

"relentlessly grim"

Pipeline grand bargain MOU signed today by @mark-carney.bsky.social is a betrayal on climate, on our obligation to First Nations and to our children. 4 companies will benefit the most: Suncor, CNRL, Imperial Oil and Cenovus. All majority foreign owned. How do Canadian taxpayers feel about that?

It’s so wild how the wealthy are destroying the Amazon that potentially has the cure for all the cancers in favor of an Amazon that’s creating new types of cancers

October 2025 was the warmest October on record for the #Arctic. Arctic sea-ice extent is currently the lowest on record for late November. My newest 'climate viz of the month' summarizes some of this latest data: zacklabe.com/climate-viz-... #ClimateChange #SciComm #OpenScience #OpenData #DataViz

Canadians opposing Israel’s holocaust continue to be unjustly targeted while security officials fail to charge those who fought in Gaza. My upcoming trial highlights the crass double standard.

Canada, for all intents & purposes, is a #petrocacy that serves the interests of the fossil fuel cartel. In BC, it's ironic they suck down vast quantities of water to produce the fossil fuels that burn the planet. The public? Go buy bottled water if your wells are dry. 2/2 www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

It's pretty wild to me that investigators have uncovered that anti-trans campaigns are largely funded by the fossil fuel industry, and that the presumed motivations are pretty directly to redirect the public conversation away from climate change... and that this isn't bigger news.

by definition. something that is "unsustainable": it wont last.

unlikely we will take down the fossil fuel hegemony and aggressively pursue #degrowth so best get ready. #climatechange #prepping #survival

63 years ago, on the 27th of September 1962, Rachel Carson's book Silent Spring was published. It handled the environmental harm caused by the pesticide DDT and the disinformation spread by the chemical industry. Carson managed to sway public opinion and even policy. #otd #history 🗃️

Channel 4 reports that the Zambia copper mine disaster, which began in February, could be one of the worst man-made environmental disasters in history. Almost 2/3 of Zambia's population rely on the Kafue River, which has been inundated by acids, cyanide, arsenic, uranium and lead.

For more than 10 years, I have been showing you better construction methods, building materials, and better ways of working. For just as long, you have been rejecting them, claiming that they are more expensive. Problem: There is no alternative to sustainable construction. 1/3

G described the 30s: a moment when the dominant order had begun to decay, yet no new force had emerged to take its place. It birthed monsters: “The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum, a great variety of morbid symptoms appear.”

Currently reading Silent Spring (published 1962), so this story hits particularly hard. Of course we’ve moved on in 63 years, and novel chemicals are more regulated, but I guess we have scaled up everything dramatically so the problem is just as serious overall. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
