A recent study has found that Caribbean reefs have HALF as much hard coral now as they did in 1980 due to climate breakdown and marine heatwaves causing “the most destructive thermal stress ever recorded”. 💔 🪸

NEW: Hundreds of public servants are being let go at federal agencies that monitor climate risks, @natashabulowski.bsky.social reports

19 December 2025 Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) issued a consultation paper outlining proposed updates to the federal industrial carbon pricing benchmark, 'Driving Effective Carbon Markets in Canada'. Deadline for responses is January 30, 2026. www.clearbluemarkets.com/knowledge-ba...

3/ Also, the Atlas Network of think tanks was previously caught red-handed taking money from Exxon to finance climate change denial activities. This research onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... analyzes the climate obstruction of 12 Atlas affiliates in Canada, incl Macdonald-Laurier Institute.

“(Cpl. Mathew) Howell of the RCMP said he can’t speak to ‘what pushed the breaking down of the door’ in this specific instance, but said in general ‘there’s a few different aspects that can come into play,’ including ‘officer safety’ and the ‘need to secure evidence.’”

As it turns out, the Clooneys are political refugees ...

Brilliant op ed by Eric Reinhart on the moral cowardice of administrators at Harvard--and almost every other university in the western world! Canadian presidents, take note. How long will the "veritas" banner hang from their edifices? @univcan.ca www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

“We have to be willing to enforce our environmental laws, just like we would enforce any other laws of the federal government.” -- Steven Guilbeault Sadly, not one Canadian govt has shown itself willing to stand up to the fossil fuel industry. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/12/18/n...

Before the federal budget, Minister Dabrusin was assuring Canadians that the government intended to meet the 2035 GHG reduction target. Now Carney admits there is no way it will happen. Canadians should be outraged by this duplicity. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/12/17/n...

A crazy event in the report: “Following the retreat of South Sawyer Glacier, a landslide in southeast Alaska’s Tracy Arm in August 2025 generated a tsunami that swept across the narrow fjord and ran nearly 1,600 feet up the other side. Fortunately, the fjord was empty of cruise ships.”

This is the place that made me want to become a meteorologist 💔

The thing is, dear Henry, it is not only "governments" that are "hollowing out the university’s democratic mission, attacking intellectual freedom," it is the executives now running the institutions. 1/ www.counterpunch.org/2025/12/12/h...

In a nutshell: The Alberta Ministry of Environment and Protected Areas has had 10 yrs to implement the AG's recommendations to ensure the Mine Financial Security Program does what it is supposed to do, but AEPA has refused to do so. www.oag.ab.ca/reports/mine...

Treaty chiefs warn of 'severe impacts' as Alberta passes water legislation #abpoli #ableg #water #FirstNations

Treaty 8 Grand Chief Trevor Mercredi had some strong words for Canada & Alberta... He made it clear that Treaty 8 will not just not support, they will actively oppose any new pipelines in the north without consultation & called for an immediate pause. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

This is about as bad as it gets. The auditor general has revealed the UCP government is lying to the public about healthcare reform. A must read for Albertans of all political stripes.

These feet are far from happy. 💔 New research released this week finds that the fossil-fueled climate crisis and overfishing contributed to the starvation of more than 60,000 African penguins.

My theory is that the Enbridge executives/UCP politicians--chief among them Sonya Savage (who has also lobbied for the Canadian Energy Pipeline Assoc.)--have never gotten over losing the Northern Gateway Pipeline battle. 1/ environmentaldefence.ca/2025/12/08/t... @350canada.bsky.social

"The energy transition could wipe out over 80% of Canadian provincial governments’ expected revenue from upstream oil and gas in the 2030s." carbontracker.org/reports/petr...

This is compelling. The UCP is manipulating procedural rules in the Legislature to shut down legitimate inquiries. This time it was about settlement expenses in the health area. Next time it could be about settlement expenses in relation to coal. #ableg #abpoli

Same corporations and lobbyists, same campaign, in the US and Canada: slow down, water down, eliminate any regulation that might lower profits. In the US: "energy dominance." In Canada: "energy superpower." www.eenews.net/articles/epa...

🤯 Journalist, Munk Debate member, U of T graduate, and recent (unanimously selected) PEN Canada Ken Filkow Prize recipient for her work advancing freedom of expression in Canada, @smohyeddin.bsky.social, is turned away from attending tonight's Munk debate in Toronto. Good grief 🤷

"This is the final stage of corporatization: public education transformed into a delivery system for private capital." www.currentaffairs.org/news/ai-is-destroying-the-university-and-learning-itself

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

Surely even Liberal supporters can see the pattern by now: The Alberta & Cdn govts tell anyone who will listen that Alberta/Canada has "the best environmental standards in the world." The reality is that they are not fit for purpose, not implemented, or not enforced. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

"The Indigenous group cited as being in favour of the pipeline in this article is in fact a crown corporation owned by the Govt of Alberta. Its funding comes from the GoA and Smith's Cabinet appoints its Board of Directors." @climatekeith.bsky.social globalnews.ca/news/1155109... @globalnews.ca

#Alberta has no back-up plan to replace royalty revenue.

Dabrusin is misleading the Canadian public. On the CBC radio show, What on Earth, a few weeks ago, when asked how the govt would meet the 2035 GHG emission reduction target (we are far off), she referred to the Clean Electricity Regulation. 1/ www.ctvnews.ca/montreal/art...

This Al Jazeera report is much better and more detailed than the NYT story, but still reproduces the erroneous statement that an emissions cap on the oil sands will be removed. It was never implemented! www.aljazeera.com/economy/2025...

If Carney believes this, he is a fool. “At the core of the agreement, of course, is a priority to have a pipeline to Asia that’s going to make Canada stronger, more independent, more resilient, more sustainable.” www.nytimes.com/2025/11/27/w...

This NYT article contains many inaccuracies, starting with confusing "laws" with "policies" or "regulations." The MoU doesn't remove the cap on emissions because there never was a cap on emissions. Albertans' views of the Liberals have not been "reset." Etc. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/27/w...

Even the CCI is finding it hard to cheerlead for the Carney government's energy and climate policy now. Unlike the CCI, I see the MoU with Alberta as consistent with what was mapped out in the budget. climateinstitute.ca/news/mou-alb...

A handful of political economists and Parkland Institute researchers have been trying for decades to inform Albertans about how their interests --and those of Indigenous peoples--have been trampled by the oil sands majors, abetted by captured governments.2/ www.theenergymix.com/u-s-owned-oi...
