"The reality is that because climate change is a global crisis, international relations are an inescapable part of it. COPs are the modern arena of geopolitics. And like it or not, they can’t be ignored." www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/11/a...

Two years ago at COP28 in Dubai, governments around the world committed to tripling renewables by 2030. The world is actually (somewhat) on track. But Canada is falling behind others in this critical race. The Climate Competitiveness Strategy needs detail - and teeth. @cape-acme.bsky.social

Hey Media! want to talk to a Canadian physician working hard to make change at COP30? There are five of us! Learn more about what we are doing there, and how to reach us, in the link below.

Cutting methane will make us healthier, create more than 34,000 jobs, and start healing our climate. Canadians need @mark-carney.bsky.social and Tim Hodgson to pass STRONG methane regulations now. Take action at: www.forourkids.ca/support_stro... @heathermcpherson.bsky.social #cdnpoli #methane

Like Canada, the US is a complex, decentralized system. Climate leadership from states and cities has never been more important. Excited to work with American climate leaders at #COP30. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

More than 5,000 fossil fuel lobbyists were given access to the UN climate summits over the past 4 years, a period marked by a rise in catastrophic extreme weather and record oil and gas expansion. It's time to kick big polluters out. @cape-acme.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...

After a lacklustre budget, the feds appear to be fumbling the ball on climate change. How to change course? Use COP30 to flesh out the Climate Competitiveness Strategy, including timelines for methane and pollution pricing regs. @cape-acme.bsky.social www.ipolitics.ca/2025/11/05/m...

On climate, the budget begs more questions than it answers. It's good to see emphasis on carbon pricing and methane, but the feds' proposal to ditch the Emissions Cap leads to major questions on Canada's climate performance. @cape-acme.bsky.social nationalnewswatch.com/2025/11/04/f...

This is no time to slow down. Here are the six Calls to Action in my new UN net zero report "Integrity Matters: Winning the Future", for cities, regions, companies & financial institutions to drive climate action this decade: static1.squarespace.com/static/66200... @c40cities.bsky.social #COP30

Great primer for friends and colleagues engaging in agriculture policy at COP30 in Belém. Beware the industry spin. Terms like 'regenerative agriculture' are loaded + often designed to minimize the meat + dairy industry's massive environmental impacts. www.desmog.com/2025/10/26/b...

Very cool to see the Maritimes leading the way on heat pump adoption in Canada. It's amazing how quickly the technology is changing and prices are coming down. It's also encouraging to see uptake in rural areas. Thanks to @climateinstitute.bsky.social for the graphic. @cape-acme.bsky.social

“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” Maybe it’s time to find a new home for that famous statue. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

With thanks to @oncleanair.bsky.social for the great graphic, can anyone explain to me why the Ford and Carney gov'ts are doubling down on expensive nuclear energy when there are far cheaper and greener options on the table? Note: This is an honest question, not a hot take.

Congrats to @senrosagalvez.bsky.social for reintroducing CAFA. This bill has changed the conversation on the financial sector's role in climate change. With a finance-friendly PM in place, now is the time to get it passed. @cape-acme.bsky.social www.theenergymix.com/galvez-reint...

Extreme heat matters from coast to coast. Newfoundland and Labrador currently have no rules to keep seniors cool, even as temperatures rise due to climate change. We need to act. Email your representatives today: cape.ca/action/extre... @cape-acme.bsky.social www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Canadians know first-hand the impacts of extreme heat; the Heat Dome marked our deadliest climate disaster. Now a report shows heat kills 1 person a minute worldwide. Words are not enough. We need to see action in the federal budget. @cape-acme.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...

@patbonin.bsky.social's questions to Premier Smith about her belief in climate change were the right ones. We have far too many politicians who still don't accept climate science. Otherwise, they would be promoting other policies. @cape-acme.bsky.social www.theenergymix.com/premier-smit...

💥BREAKING💥 Four young Canadians just launched a lawsuit against the Canada Pension Plan investment manager, #CPP Investments, for alleged mismanagement of climate risks. Read more about the case brought by @ecojusticecanada.bsky.social and @gpllp.bsky.social#CPP 👉 https://bit.ly/4okNn1i

Climate adaptation is too often sidelined in climate policy conversations. Canada needs much more ambitious climate action. But we also need to prepare and respond to climate disruption before it undermines our capacity to act. @cape-acme.bsky.social policyoptions.irpp.org/2025/10/econ...

Hats off to Ottawa for moving forward with solar for its growing electricity needs. Cities across Canada are key to decisions that will affect our health, and climate, for years to come. Glad to see this push for clean energy. @cape-acme.bsky.social www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Upton Sinclair: "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it." www.nationalobserver.com/2025/10/23/n...

Wow! A new analysis shows that major meat and dairy producers emit more greenhouse gases than Saudi Arabia, the world's #2 oil producer. www.desmog.com/2025/10/22/t...

Chief Allan Adam of Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation gets it exactly right: "This province works backwards." Will the Alberta government ever get serious about the massive harms of oil sands on communities, nature and the climate? @cape-acme.bsky.social www.theenergymix.com/oil-sands-ta...

Just in time for Halloween, zombie pipelines are rising from the grave to haunt Canadians from coast to coast. We buried these dumb pipeline proposals for a reason. Can we please focus on climate solutions now? @cape-acme.bsky.social www.hilltimes.com/story/2025/1...

"Texas is so bullish on renewable energy for business, not ideological reasons, that three anti-renewables bills recently failed in the infamously pro-oil, anti-progressive Texas legislature." Hoping Alberta gets this memo. @cape-acme.bsky.social www.theenergymix.com/three-unlike...

“I’m the same me. I’m focused on the same issues.” Pre-election Carney was a climate champion. As PM, we've only seen policy rollbacks and horse-trading so far. Carney needs to treat climate with the seriousness it deserves. @cape-acme.bsky.social www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Common question: what is the point of these far-flung climate conferences? The fact is, you can't solve a global problem without the world community, and agreements like Paris have been game-changers for meaningful climate action. @cape-acme.bsky.social www.theenergymix.com/breaking-par...

It's amazing that this is treated as just another headline, somewhere well below the masthead. We shouldn't have to dig for news about the collapse of earth's life support systems. Media should be shouting it from the rooftops. @cape-acme.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...

There's an elephant in the room when it comes to Canada's carbon pollution. While some sectors have seen remarkable improvements, oil and gas emissions continue to climb. That's why the Emissions Cap is desperately needed. @cape-acme.bsky.social www.theenergymix.com/it-depends-c...

Of all people, Carney should know that the climate crisis is different from other crises. The physics of global heating are not concerned with 'grand bargains' or other political compromises. And yet the feds persist. @cape-acme.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

Trump will be gone by the time the sea swallows Mar-a-Lago, but the rest of us will have to live with the disastrous effects of US climate policy. Luckily, the US's absence from the COP process may provide opportunities for progress. @cape-acme.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Check out this great graphic courtesy of @climateinstitute.bsky.social. The coal phase-out has made a massive difference in our emissions and our health. Now, Canada needs to double down on newer policies like the Clean Electricity Regs to keep the ball rolling. @cape-acme.bsky.social

Worth sharing as MLI targets enviro orgs: "The Atlas Network partnered with an Ottawa-based thinktank – the Macdonald-Laurier Institute (MLI) – which enlisted pro-industry Indigenous representatives ... to provide 'a shield against opponents'." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

“Imagine there was a truck heading directly for your children. What would you do? Surely everything in your power to save them, including jumping in its way?” That truck is climate change. Great to speak with @theguardian.com’s Maya Goodfellow about my new book, #RunLikeAGirl.

It's not clear whether politicians understand how much has changed since Harper's big pipeline push. Canada has an opportunity to build nation-building, not nation-burning projects - like a connected grid, EV supply chains and renewables. @cape-acme.bsky.social www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Kudos to NCC and CEO Tobi Nussbaum for truly reimagining Ottawa around its beautiful waterfront. The River House restoration, Dow’s Lake swimming dock, and new café pop-ups are proof that small changes can have a big impact— Can’t wait to see what’s next. ottawacitizen.com/news/ncc-rep...

Tout à fait d'accord avec le Directeur Climat de @cape-acme.bsky.social - on a besoin de tout le monde pour avancer dans la vraie bonne direction, celle de la santé de planète, qui conditionne la nôtre!

Je suis d'accord avec @patbonin.bsky.social ici : être sur place, « ça change tout. » C'est décourageant de voir que le gouvernement Carney coupe les vivres aux partis de l’opposition en prévision de la COP30. @cape-acme.bsky.social @aqme.bsky.social www.lapresse.ca/actualites/p...

Fascinating read about conservatives + climate. A recent survey finds more conservatives support climate action than oppose it. Also: "The most influential factor shaping how conservatives feel about climate policy is how they feel about liberals." reclimate.ca/conservative...

Climate change can make extreme heat worse - even during summers which are not the hottest on record. This is why ON cities and the province must move quickly on maximum temperature rules. @cape-acme.bsky.social @catmckenney.bsky.social @martycarr1.bsky.social www.thestar.com/news/gta/her...

This is a great analysis on pollution pricing in Canada. Action here is absolutely key to climate progress. My takeaway: You can't have a "grand bargain" when one side (namely AB/SK) isn't negotiating in good faith. @cape-acme.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

At @cape-acme.bsky.social we're sometimes asked, Why don't doctors stay in their lane? The answer: health is about more than health care. Planetary health is public health, which is why the first National Day of Action on Planetary Health is happening Oct. 6. healthydebate.ca/2025/10/topi...

Canada rightly got a lot of heat for its recent mediocre emissions report. But behind that number are many provincial governments choosing to ignore climate action altogether. Case in point: the Government of Ontario. @cape-acme.bsky.social www.theenergymix.com/ontario-to-m...

New pipelines are a climate and health disaster with no business case. "For us to make 30- or 40-year bets on an industry that by all predictions is going to decline just doesn’t make any economic sense." @cape-acme.bsky.social www.theenergymix.com/any-new-oil-...

We live in an age of magical thinking - where oil + gas expansion is spun as compatible with climate change, and where new pipelines are pushed despite gaping holes in the business case. Or is this just a dogwhistle to AB separatists? @cape-acme.bsky.social www.theenergymix.com/albertas-new...

92.5% of new power capacity added worldwide in 2024 was from renewables. So why is Ontario doubling down on gas and nuclear? @cape-acme.bsky.social cleantechnica.com/2025/03/26/9...

Some of the most prescient words on climate change - and the role of a well-regulated financial sector in solving it - have come from our very own PM. We need Carney to lead on climate finance reform now. @cape-acme.bsky.social @investors4paris.bsky.social www.theenergymix.com/a-decade-aft...

Since cities are on the front lines of climate change, it's great to see local leaders urging Canada to act. The feds' nation-building agenda is a mixed bag so far. Carney should back nation-building, not nation-burning projects. @cape-acme.bsky.social www.theenergymix.com/back-nation-...

Here's the thing with the microplastics issue: it gets worse the harder you look. A new study is examining the health impacts of microplastics detected deep inside human bones. @cape-acme.bsky.social @janeemcarthur.bsky.social www.ctvnews.ca/health/artic...

It's heartbreaking to hear about Canadian children with cancer losing access to clinical trials. This is one more reason for Canada to disentangle itself from the US - now and into the future. www.cbc.ca/news/health/...
