The Dear Leader strikes again, lecturing the UN about how climate change is a ‘con.’ Funny how the only con we see is the one behind the podium pretending science is optional.

President Trump went to the U.N. to say climate change is not a major concern and warn against the “green new scam,” a message that seemed to come from a different reality than that of other leaders.

Pierre Poilievre has voted against the environment over 400 times during his 20-year career. “The Conservatives have consistently denied the climate crisis and opposed any significant federal measures to address it as ‘attacks on the oil & gas industry.’” An editorial by @mtltoula.bsky.social.

A Liberal environment caucus is born www.nationalobserver.com/2025/09/11/a... "Since the election we’ve had this big national discussion, and climate change — and more broadly, environmental issues — have not featured as prominently as many of us would like in that discussion,”

www.theguardian.com/environment/... The corporate-financed backlash to calls for global climate progress has been greatly empowered by the Trump administration. It’s never been more critical to challenge the misinformation that could turn a crisis into a catastrophe. Same for Canada!

Great collaboration! Bravo!
