Catastrophic flooding in BC and WA is putting thousands at risk. We’ve always had heavy rain and floods; but as the world warms, they’re becoming more frequent and severe. And it was a UVic research team that ID'd the human fingerprint in increasing extreme precip. www.nature.com/articles/nat...

The treatment of Jacob Pirro and Olivier Huard, two peaceful climate defenders, by the courts is a brutal attack on democratic rights. We cannot allow this dangerous repression of civil disobedience to go any further. #DroptheCharges www.lastgenerationcanada.ca/drop-the-cha...

“In Dubai in 2023, Canada, the UK, and 190 countries agreed for the first time to transition away from fossil fuels. You do not ‘phase out’ something by building more of it. A pipeline enabling 1m additional barrels a day pushes Canada in the opposite direction of what it has already promised.”

Mark Carney built a reputation on linking economic instability with climate inaction. Now he’s made a deal with the very industries driving the crisis. This isn't Canadian leadership, it’s cowardice disguised as pragmatism. My op-ed for the @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Canada’s environmental ‘realism’ looks more like surrender, writes @tzeporah.bsky.social - At a time when the UK and other countries are finally taking bold steps for climate, Canada is preparing a new oil pipeline #climatecrisis www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

BREAKING 🚨: The government has just announced that they are ending new oil and gas exploration in the UK and have started a plan for workers and communities to transition away from fossil fuels. 🧵

This afternoon, I informed the Prime Minister of my decision to resign as Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture, Minister responsible for Official Languages, Minister of Nature and Parks Canada, as well as his Lieutenant in Quebec. You can find my full statement below.

This is huge. On the same day Canada announces a new tarsands pipeline and a roll back of climate policy UK announces no new oil and gas licences and a fossil fuel phase out plan. Congratulations and thank you to the UK for your leadership. And Canada?! PM Mark Carney, embarrassing. #cdnpoli

When it comes to climate change, methane is a notorious super-polluter. And LNG, which stands for liquefied "natural gas", is primarily made up of...you guessed it...methane. 😷

My latest: #COP30, global climate politics, and what happens next — for @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

“Canada has been masking fossil expansion behind the language of climate leadership.” Leaving #COP30 one thing is clear, Canada must reject the thrall of the fossil fuel era or risk becoming a fossil ourselves. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/24/o...

Despite decades of international climate summits (officially called United Nations Conference of the Parties, or COPs), the blanket of climate-destabilizing CO2 continues to grow thicker at an accelerating rate. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/21/a...

Fossil fuels have gone unmentioned in another #COP agreement. A concrete phase out plan is an existential for many nations. Not a road map but a survival map. That is what is at stake at this conference and what’s possible with a coalition of the willing www.climatechangenews.com/2025/11/21/c...

What a day!!! An electrifying and historic moment at #COP30 This is the culmination of the movement's work around the world: standing up to fossil fuel projects in your homes, marching in the street, and building a coalition of the willing to stand up for science, justice and life.

Report-out from #COP30 in Brazil from one of our finest climate thought leaders @tzeporah.bsky.social (So depressing and so wrong and so intractable. And I saw and heard the same at the WHO conference on air pollution in Colombia last March.) Also, read her whole thread of which is one post.

Things I have learned in Brazil at #COP30 (insights in the negotiations and general state of play and some fun facts): A thread 🧵

Think Canada is a climate leader? Did you expect Mark Carney to be a climate leader? Are you a British Columbian worried about our coast? Read this 🧵

Politicians can deny the costs of climate change. Insurers will not. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

All the VSPs decided that we can't talk about climate any more, and the entire climate establishment pathetically acceded, nonetheless: climate change is still very real! And Trump is going to rack up Holocaust-style numbers with his anti-climate policies.

On Friday, I am talking with @timmonsroberts.bsky.social about this magisterial recent report on the origins & nature of climate obstruction. Basically: who has sabotaged climate action, how, and why. Got questions?

The roadmap is being built, this much is clear. And every new endorsement of the @fossiltreaty.bsky.social brings us closer. read more: www.downtoearth.org.in/climate-chan...

Climate Action Tracker's update on Canada's climate policies is a grim read. "Our rating of Canada’s policies and action has worsened to 'Highly Insufficient', with the latest emissions projections now higher than previous updates" climateactiontracker.org/countries/ca...

At the #COP30 Leaders Summit plenary, President Lula called for “a road map for humanity to overcome, in a just and planned way, its dependence on fossil fuels.” President Lula is right but pledges, speeches, statements and declarations are not a road map.

Cambodia becomes the 18th nation to join the @fossiltreaty.bsky.social at #COP30 Their participation signals the building momentum for the Fossil Fuel Treaty Initiative and charts a bold path into the second week of the COP and beyond, towards a fossil free future. fossilfueltreaty.org/cambodia

No Kumi you didn’t embarrass us or yourself. You acted with courage, with heart, with passion and for once decision makers saw in these halls a plea COMMENSURATE WITH THE SCALE OF THE CRISIS. It was absolutely epic and I am so proud to have the honour of working with @kuminaidoo.bsky.social

Yesterday @fossiltreaty.bsky.social President Kumi Naidoo rushed into his 5th speaking engagement of the day at #cop30 looking uncharacteristically upset. “Tzeporah,” he said “I lost it. I don’t even remember what I said. I am so sorry. I got emotional.” I found the clip from his panel.

Many of these people are in Alberta, where aging oil and gas wells litter our landscape and leak methane into our atmosphere. @phillipmeintzer.bsky.social @c4re-for-ab.bsky.social @cape-ab.bsky.social @calgaryclimatehub.ca @forourkidscanada.bsky.social #cleanupyourmess #ableg

This new @amnesty.org study is damning. A quarter of the world’s population lives within a 3 mile radius if a fossil fuel project. That’s 2b people. We must end this era of greed and harm. www.downtoearth.org.in/amp/story/cl...

New @stand.earth report shows that zebras don’t change their stripes. Drax is STILL sourcing wood from ecological significant forests in BC, still the single biggest carbon emitter in Britain, and still receiving subsidies from the UK Gov.

“Reckless extraction… is pushing the Amazon to a dangerous tipping point” Former Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos cites @IUCN motion and calls for Amazon free of fossil fuels english.elpais.com/opinion/2025...

“Redirecting revenues from oil production to finance a just…equitable transition will be essential...oil companies worldwide, including Brazil’s Petrobras, will transform into energy companies…a growth model based on fossil fuels cannot last.”President Lula #COP30 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Well that was a fascinating morning. President Lula has put the question of fossil fuel phase out front & center where it belongs. It might not be a formal negotiated outcome but high level political attention to fossil fuel phase out means we should expect a political outcome. #COP30

I’m so excited to be speaking at #TEDCountdownHouse during #COP30 My session highlights the experience of local activists halting fossil fuel exploration in the Amazon, the impact on biodiversity, indigenous lands, and climate goals. Join me by requesting an invitation: luma.com/COP30-haltin...

@tzeporah.bsky.social on the developments since the Paris Agreement was signed in 2015. It’s a piece about hope and despair. We need a Fossil Fuel Treaty, now. Here’s hoping COP30 in Brazil will deliver! www.linkedin.com/pulse/ten-ye...

NEW: Exxon funded efforts to spread climate denial across Latin America, @geoffdembicki.bsky.social reports, "according to hundreds of previously unpublished documents that reveal a coordinated campaign to make the global south 'less inclined' to support the UN-led climate treaty process."

Your daily dose of climate hope. From the team at RMI: rmi.org/wp-content/u...

There has never been a more exciting, devastating and terrifying time to be working on climate and the energy transition. We can get super cynical about COPs and about our progress since Paris or we can dig in and try and build hope.

Ten years since the Paris Agreement was signed. Let’s review where we are at, a thread 🧵 We breached the 1.5ºC global temperature for the first time in 2024, exceeding the threshold set in 2015 under the Paris Agreement.

▶️ WATCH: the room broke into applause today at the World Mayors Summit hosted by @c40cities.bsky.social as @tzeporah.bsky.social welcomed the diplomatic participation of mayors in the First International Conference for the Phase Out of Fossil Fuels, to be hosted by Colombia next April 🇨🇴

Bank of America, Citi, JP Morgan Chase and Goldman Sachs are four of the ten.

We have long needed a way to pair private investment in solutions with government leadership on fossil phase out. Big announcement today, we’ve created it! The new Journey Fund will invest in projects for countries participating in the Fossil Treaty Initiative. First $10M committed today!

🔥🌎Breaking news from Belém 💸Just one week before #COP30, at the Global Citizen Festival: Amazônia, the first ever fund pairing government fossil fuel phase-out commitments with private investments was launched — the Journey Fund, developed in partnership with the #FossilFuelTreaty Initiative!

Rising heat kills one person a MINUTE. That’s millions every year because we continue to expand fossil fuels. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
