Major threats to our well being from climate change can be avoided, or hugely reduced, by rapid action. Our Nature comment calls for a global risk assessment, effectively communicated to governments, the media and the public, to make clear what is at stake. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The solar panels, batteries, electric vehicles (EVs) and wind turbines exported from China in 2024 are set to cut annual CO2 emissions in the rest of the world by 1%, some 220m tonnes (MtCO2). www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-chi...

🇨🇦🔌 A massive 33-turbine wind farm—one of the largest clean energy projects in Nova Scotia—could soon power more than 50,000 homes while cutting 1.5% of the province's emissions annually.

Yes! There are so many more options for 'projects of national interest' than pipelines and LNG. Canadians want solutions - better homes, a clean and connected grid, and an expanded EV charging network, among others. Let's get to work. @cape-acme.bsky.social

This is a mental war that we have to win. It's not about being a luddite, it's about destroying or retaining the ability to think. It's about how insidious this becomes in a situation where generative AI is adopted and then subverted intentionally. www.thealgorithmicbridge.com/p/a-new-whar...

Every day, the chocolate we eat gets worse. Some of it is no longer “chocolate,” thanks to climate change and corporate greed. #chocolate #candy #MAHA

You know what's more expensive than taking action to fight climate change? Climate change. "Investing just 1–2% of global economic output can avert losses of 11–27% of GDP, with every dollar spent delivering savings of 5 to 14 dollars."

The AI caricature trend has sinister risks, expert warns "People are at risk to participating in their own privacy violations." www.ctvnews.ca/sci-tech/art...

Climate silence is all around us, and it’s growing fast. How do we fight back when the climate conversation goes quiet? Seniors for Climate presents "Where do we go next? A climate conversation with Steven Guilbeault. Register here: bit.ly/4a1e0Uw #LetsTalkClimate @cafesottawa.bsky.social

Too expensive, and too slow to build.

Canada not on track to hit net-zero by 2050, or meet any climate targets: study nationalnewswatch.com/2026/02/13/c...

Since 1990, Romania has “decoupled” its economic growth from fossil fuel emissions faster than any other European country. Each dollar of economic activity in the country is now 10x less carbon intensive than 35 years ago, and in the same period Romania has slashed emissions by 75%. By Ajit Niranjan

Further confirmation that Canada's far off track from its 2030 target. As I mention here, the models tend to overestimate the impact of climate policies, because they represent an idealized world in which policies are fully implemented and work as intended. www.ctvnews.ca/climate-and-...

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

A reasonable discussion about AI would come to the conclusion that this tech is damaging to humanity in virtually every way a tech can be damaging. But I'd rather have an emotional discussion and point out that this tech is shit made by assholes, and it stole from me, personally, so fuck it.

“According to the Gun Violence Archive, there were 5,748 mass shootings between Jan 1, 2013 and September 15, 2025 in the U.S. Of that number, there have been 5 confirmed transgender shooters.” That is less than 0.1%. glaad.org/debunking-tr...

AI;DR = AI; didn't read. I'll use my time and energy to read stuff written by humans, thanks.

“The climate scientists we surveyed were unambiguous: current economic models can’t capture what matters most – the cascading failures and compounding shocks that define climate risk in a warmer world – and could undermine the very foundations of economic growth.” This should be THE story everyday.

So many things to worry about. I did not think this would have to be one of them. Say no to AI!

Oil and gas contribute just 7.8% of Canada's GDP. That's including both direct and indirect economic impact—the direct contribution is only ~3.4%, according to Statistics Canada.

There is a revolution in #renewable #energy happening in California, putting the lie to the MAGA futile effort to prop up fossil fuels. All they're doing is delaying the inevitable, enriching their friends, and worsening #climate change.

Climate change is the story of our time

Understatement of the year: That’s a big mismatch “Some are saying we’ll have a 10% GDP loss at between 3C and 4C degrees [of global heating], but the physical climate scientists are saying the economy and society will cease to function as we know it. That’s a big mismatch,”

"By the end of the two-year period, 94% of participants reported they were housed." A million pilot programs show the same thing: when people are given enough money to afford housing, homelessness ends. Other supports matter, but housing comes first. Not policing. Not moralizing. Homes.

To meet its current consumption levels with renewable energy, the United States would need the area equivalent to what’s currently used for maple syrup.

“We think of climate impacts as huge, monstrous things — giant dinosaur weather-beasts rampaging across our cities. But it turns out we should be at least as worried about the plague of small strains spreading through our lives, eating away at systems functionality like a horde of gnawing rodents.”

According to our new poll, Canada is a country of winter sports lovers... and we do NOT support fossil fuel companies advertising at the Winter Olympics! https://loom.ly/y1KyHi0

Staff at a Twin Cities yarn store put together a pattern for a red knit “Melt the ICE” hat inspired by the Norwegian resistance. They thought they would attract 10 people to a weekly knit-along. They’ve sold 70,000 copies, raising more than $250k for immigrant aid groups.

”There is a growing fear that climate change in the future won’t, as it has until now, happen gradually. It will happen suddenly, as formerly stable planetary systems transgress tipping points — thresholds beyond which things cannot be put back together again.“ e360.yale.edu/features/1.5...
