So what is the 'new economy' Carney / Canada is building for? www.cbc.ca/news/science...

As this chart (from IPCC AR6 technical summary) shows, global temperature increase has closely tracked cumulative CO2 emissions. As of 2024 the world has emitted about 2750 Gt CO2.

An excellent interview with @stevenguilbeault.bsky.social by Laura Lynch on the MOU etc. www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

So brutal. Danielle Smith & the oilsands’ goal is increasing production, pollution, and the cost Canadians pay for climate change - while delaying the energy transition. The opposite of winning the future.

wtf is a FIFA peace prize? that's like being an NFL laureate in physics

The tropical Pacific climate may be leaning toward La Niña this winter. See how past La Niñas affected snow across Canada and the United States. These maps use reanalysis data and subtract long-term climate trends to isolate La Niña’s influence. www.climate.us/news-and-fea... #LaNiña #ClimateForUs

Tomorrow is the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women in Canada. On Dec. 6, 1989, a gunman murdered 14 women at École #Polytechnique de Montréal because they were women. Remember their names. And continue to fight to end gender-based violence in all of its forms #EndGBV

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

@shastingssimon.bsky.social on the Canada-Alberta Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) agreement on energy. Full episode at www.energyvsclimate.com/hot-take-can...

I think @beynate.bsky.social does a great job covering all of the bases.

17 sleeps away from lengthening days.

Another resignation from the Net-Zero Advisory Board -- this time, Catherine Abreu. www.linkedin.com/posts/cather...

Climate scientist Simon Donner has resigned as co-chair of the federal government’s Net Zero Advisory Body. www.linkedin.com/posts/simon-...

The federal government says both extraction and conservation are key to the B.C. “critical conservation corridor." But the scarce information provided focuses on minerals and energy, not wildlife or Indigenous-led protection plans @writermjs.bsky.social writes: thenarwhal.ca/bc-northwest... #cdnpoli

...the "trending" fashion -the next few days in Ontario. #onwx #onstorm 🥶

I'm skeptical about how much MPs can influence Carney in terms of climate action. And this quote resonates: “When the agreement came out someone texted me saying, ‘The only thing missing from the agreement is Pierre Poilievre's signature,’ and I went yeah, I think that sums it up,” he said.

Bonjour à vous ! 🙏 Car c'est mardi, et qu'il ne faut rien lâcher ....

ICYMI: Just Asking answers your questions about what the Ottawa-Alberta energy deal could mean for Canada's #climate future. Our guests [include] @hadrianmk.bsky.social, senior researcher at @policyalternatives.ca, who focuses on the shift towards a zero-carbon future. www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

Was the Paris Agreement a success? In @climateadam.bsky.social's latest video we argue about exactly that. Check it out here: youtu.be/HtldMsa7OH4

From Copernicus: This shows how the expected date for breaching 1.5C has been creeping ever closer in recent years. The orange date shows the baseline for the extrapolation; the red date shows when 1.5C is breached based on the trend...

My first sighting for the season of Evening Grosbeaks at the bird feeder.

Just a friendly reminder that the Polar Vortex is not an Arctic storm, polar hurricane, blizzard or things that comes to visit us. Lobes of its wave system can dip south into the U.S. bringing colder air. I have already seen a car commercial improperly refer to it and a major newspaper headline.

I'll be on @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social's Just Asking today (alongside @rjcsmith.bsky.social) to talk pipelines, climate and the future of the Canadian economy. We're taking calls from across the country at 4pm ET! Join us! www.cbc.ca/radio/justas...

Following the end of the field season, our small team has spent the past few weeks reviewing all the data we collected during this year, and I am thrilled to announce that the wild population of this critically endangered species reached a new high this year - 427 marmots!

There seem to be 2 general opinions abt the MOU: AB conservatives: The MOU gives AB everything we wanted LPC supporters: MOU is great because Carney got pragmatic concessions from AB, but don't worry no pipeline will be built Anyone else: The MOU gives AB conservatives everything they wanted

Whoa. It’s called “zoom” - quite a way to respond to the Coastal First Nations request for a meeting especially when he refused to meet them before the MOU that directly affects them was announced - while doing over 50 meetings with fossil fuel lobbyists.

Rereading the entire statement in the clear light of day - the clarity and strength of his arguments are very powerful

Days after the end of the UN Climate Conference, the gov’ts of Canada & Alberta have announced plans to ⬆️oil & gas production & rollback climate policies including: 🛢️New pipelines 🏭 Withdrawing the proposed emissions cap ⚡Alberta exemption to Clean Electricity Regulations 🧵1/8 @energy.iisd.org

@stevenguilbeault.bsky.social is an exemplary public servant. He's dedicated his long career to wrestling with some of our country's toughest issues: How do we reconcile environmental protection and economic growth?

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.

A moral stand in party politics is so rare to see. Like spotting a white squirrel, burrowing owl, or Sasquatch.

Evidence-based resignation rationale ... As shown in the analysis submitted to the House of Commons, without this regulation, the electricity sector-which has halved its pollution over the past 20 years-would return to an upward emissions trajectory. ...

We honour Minister Guilbeault's courage and integrity in opposing a deal that gives all the leverage to the oil and gas lobby. #ABMOU #tankerban #BCpipeline #guilbeaultresigns #cdnpoli

Barring this being a case of miscommunication, kudos to @stevenguilbeault.bsky.social for stepping down from cabinet over the Canada-Alberta MOU

Say what you will about the Conservatives, but at least they would have stabbed you in the front.

To be clear, even if the pipeline is never built (huge barriers remain + the business case is weak), the feds are making meaningfully regulatory concessions *now* that will matter either way.

BREAKING: The #Ford government has just forced through legislative changes in #Bill68 that strip away provincial climate obligations — just days before critical December 1st #Mathur youth climate hearing where the government was expected to have to finally answer for its climate record. Stay tuned.

How does Carney's approach fit with this study ... The efficiency benefit of carbon pricing exhibits diminishing marginal returns. ... Policy mixes combining standards and pricing can be near-cost-optimal. ... www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Hockey isn’t our national culture. Cars are.

Nice to see a journalist asking the question... www.cbc.ca/news/science...

China's wind and solar capacity additions rebounded in October after the predictable slump over the summer. 14 GW solar and 9 GW wind was added to the grid, after an average of 9 GW solar and 3 GW wind per month in the past three months.

A *very* informative discussion between @markhamhislop.bsky.social / @energimedia.bsky.social and @chrisbataille.bsky.social It leaves me a bit concerned about our federal government's current priorities in terms of building a 'new economy' www.youtube.com/watch?v=alY1...

Incredible stuff. ottawacitizen.com/news/new-sch...

Nearly the entire Canadian Arctic Archipelago recorded temperatures warmer than 5°C above the 1981-2010 baseline in October 2025. And as I shared yesterday, sea ice in the Baffin Bay is currently a record low for the date... Hudson Bay too (I'll share that next). Data from doi.org/10.24381/cds...

China's official news agency Xinhua puts the country's coal peak at "around 2027" and oil peak "around 2026", also referencing the commitment to "gradually reduce" coal consumption that has been missing from recent policy papers.

A sad day for cyclists. Bill 60 - which prohibits the conversion of motor vehicle lanes to bike lanes (or any other prescribed purpose) - has passed Third Reading this morning which will kill various cycling projects in Toronto & across Ontario. #shame #BikeTO #BikeSky #TOpoli #ONpoli #VisionZero
