This is why we need the Conference to Phase Out Fossil Fuels like Colombia just announced. A COP Climate Summit where fossil fuel CEOs and Albertan politicians can’t go to try and greenwash their BS CCS distractions. @tzeporah.bsky.social www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Bold leadership means standing up to bullies and it means standing up for science. Anyone using this political moment to decrease climate ambition wasn't planning to do much in the first place. My panel from @climategroup.bsky.social The Hub Live: youtu.be/Qx-zq6CifQA?... #PowerOn #ClimateWeekNYC

Day 3 (Sunday) in NYC for Climate Week Highlights: morning meditation and discussion with the Plum Village community ❤️ Hanging out with Dr Michael Mann and Steven Donzinger at David Fenton's for the Climate Defiance dinner... (1/2)

“Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a sweeping package of bills on Friday to boost oil drilling, rescue wildfire-threatened utilities and extend the state's landmark climate program as he attempts to rein in energy costs while meeting the state’s ambitious climate targets.” This reads like an Onion article…

Marching today opened a release valve for me. Tired feet but feel better than I have in a long time. Action is truly the antidote to despair. Big thanks to all the organizers and the many thousands who came out in NYC and around the world. #DrawTheLine For People. For Peace. For the Planet. Resist

Today we draw a line: against inequalities, tyranny, genocide, destruction, and chaos. For rights, jobs, justice, democracy, & a fulfilling life on a safe planet For COP30 to be a turning point, we must mobilize now! #FundTheFuture drawtheline.world?r=US&d=MD&la...

Imagine how much less energy we'd need to produce to overcome combustion losses... When you start thinking about how much we've been locked into these cycles it's hard not to see it as anything but a scam

Hurricane Katrina devastated communities in New Orleans over 20 years ago – killing 1,392 people and displacing 1.5 million. After experiencing the fallout, youth climate activists were spurred into action to fight climate change, environmental racism, and structural inequality.

Failing to address climate change is very expensive.

From digging coal to burning gas, every stage of fossil fuels makes us ill Extraction pollutes. Processing poisons. Transport spills. Burning kills. Waste lingers. That’s the real fossil fuel “lifecycle” Read Cradle to Grave ➡️ climateandhealthalliance.org/wp-content/u... #Cradle2Grave

🚨 OUT NOW! Our new @science.org study led by @kohrathefog.bsky.social is the first to comprehensively quantify the health impacts of and inequities in outdoor air pollution exposure across all stages of the US oil and gas lifecycle: extraction ➡️ transport/storage ➡️ refining/processing ➡️ end-use. 🧵

A truly just transition will be led by workers of all industries. That’s why two more trade unions have proudly joined the endorsement @fossiltreaty.bsky.social Together, it makes over 30 million workers globally whose unions are calling the #EndFossilFuels theecologist.org/2025/jul/16/...

“Failure of the state to take appropriate action to protect… from GHG emissions including through fossil fuel production, fossil fuel consumption, the granting of fossil fuel exploration licenses… may constitute an internationally wrongful act which is attributable to that state.” Mic drop 💥

WOW. International Court of Justice ruling ❤️

Remember when the IMF prescribed urgent action to cut fossil fuel emissions to avoid "emissons cliff edge"? Then why are they trying to slow solarisation in Pakistan to protect profits from gas plants?! 🤦‍♀️ etenergyworld.com/s/3gvsjkm

Smoke and mirrors have no place in building our green infrastructure. This legislation was a body-blow to democratic processes from the outset. Our wetlands and other precious ecosystems must be protected, now more than ever. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

Is Canadian LNG going to be cooked? The very smart folks @iisd.org say "Yes." Here's why: Renewable energy. ⚡️ The places we want to sell LNG to are using sustainable and cheap renewable energy more and more. That won't stop.

Summer 2025 has been one fossil fuelled disaster after another. Mark Carney knows this is climate change and a direct result of the production and emissions of oil, gas and coal. More pipelines = more pollution = more floods, fires & lethal heat. 1/2

Oil is still a taboo in the arenas of climate action, but nothing was off the table during my discussion with Tom on the Climate Confident Podcast. The @fossiltreaty.bsky.social: Why Climate Policy Must Tackle Supply, Not Just Demand Full ep here: www.climateconfidentpodcast.com/1329991/epis...

What if we had a treaty to stop fossil fuel production like we did with nuclear weapons? That’s what Canadian activist @tzeporah.bsky.social is fighting for. In our latest episode of The Takeover, we dig into the global push to end “drill baby drill.” podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/t...

We don’t need new extraction. We need courage. We need cooperation. And we need to stop pretending net zero means business-as-usual. 7/7 Check out the full story of my chat with @tzeporah.bsky.social here tomraftery.com/2025/07/09/f...

As children are swept away in flash floods supercharged by climate change resulting from fossil fuel use, Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ is Loaded with Oil and Gas Company Gifts.

From TED talk jitters to navigating the halls of power at New York Climate Week, I discuss the last four years of the @fossiltreaty.bsky.social on The Takeover this week.

By 2100 summer in Vancouver could feel like Roswell, New Mexico. Hotter, drier, and far away from the norm. Tools like this can help us make sense of what is to come as the climate crisis intensifies and what we’re striving to prevent. newsinteractives.cbc.ca/features/202...

The Trump regime has scrapped legally mandated national climate assessments from federal websites — making it more difficult for state and local governments and the public to brace for the impacts of the climate crisis. 🔔 The information is still available here:

A reminder: FEMA is no longer going door-to-door to assist disaster victims [From our Climate Desk partner @wired.com]

Four months of rain in minutes. Massive loss of life. And Trump will never admit his cuts impacted the emergency response in Texas. Don’t for a minute let them tell you this was a tragedy. A tragedy is not preventable. This is a scandal. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Can't believe we still need to explain this. But here it is, again. "As the World Warms, Extreme Rain Is Becoming Even More Extreme Even in places, like Central Texas, with a long history of floods." Fossil fueled-warming results in more frequent and severe deluges. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/05/c...

The climate crisis kills people. It has a cure: cut fossil fuels, increase renewable energy. Trump's tax bill just gutted that policy approach, so, we'll see more of this: Death toll from Texas floods rises to 24 as rescue efforts continue. www.texastribune.org/2025/07/04/t... via @texastribune.org

As Europe swelters under lethal heat and children are swept away from their summer camp in a flash flood in Texas that rose 20 feet in 90 minutes, it’s sobering to realize this month that we are closer to 2050 than 2000. www.nationalobserver.com/newsletters/...

Re: the potential appointment of a long-time Saudi Aramco employee as a leading author for a key IPCC report… via @politico.eu www.politico.eu/article/saud...

I've been talking about this for years but the fossil fuel industry has five key narratives, they haven't changed much in decades, and they just shift between them/combine them depending on what is happening in the world. Made a quick and dirty flow chart to illustrate it:

This is huge: Canada and other fossil-rich nations have an obligation to phase out fossil fuels by 2030 to remain in compliance w international law. If transition to renewables seems unrealistic it’s because the fossil fuel companies have made it seem that way www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Major takeaway: 80% of carbon offsets assessed could not be relied upon to deliver emissions reductions. How about we focus on real reductions in emissions and production decline of fossil fuels? We need to stop pretending we can buy our way out of climate disasters.
