Okay #LdnOnt - you declared a climate emergency what are you actually doing?

Canada's most lucrative fishery — and a global black market — rely on American eel. But Canada was among the countries who voted against global trade restrictions on the eel last week, and won't list it under the Species At Risk Act, @moiradonovan.bsky.social reports. thenarwhal.ca/american-eel...

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

A very good question.

« In other words, a new pipeline would produce around 15 times more carbon dioxide than the Pathways Alliance could capture in a best-case scenario. » www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/27/a...

Most of us don't realize how many objects (payloads and debris) are in orbit around Earth. orbitaldebris.jsc.nasa.gov/protection/

narrowing car lanes is a good way to force low-speed streets in addition to a way to provide bike lanes without getting caught in the province's stupid legislation. bike on, toronto. the province can try, but this is a city that walks, bikes, and takes transit in huge numbers and that won't change.

Carbon capture and storage technology is, at its core, a calculated tactic by fossil fuel companies to perpetuate their environmentally destructive practices while giving the illusion that they’re addressing the very crisis they’ve been fueling for over a century.

Trudeau-era environment minister Steven Guilbeault has published a resignation letter detailing the reasons for his departure from Carney's cabinet. He directly cites today's MOU:

I don't know who needs to hear this but making deals with Alberta and the oilpatch doesn't fucking work Just ask the last person who tried.

Australia’s emissions from fossil fuels down as electricity from renewables passes 40% While greenhouse gas emissions fell 2.2% or 9.9m tonnes last financial year, new policies are needed to meet the 2035 target www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

As we await the pipeline MOU, a reminder that Alberta has 12% of Canada’s population and • 38% of national GHG emissions • 75% of oil and gas-related GHGs • 51% of electricity-related GHGS Source: 2025 National Inventory Report 1990-2023: GHG Sources and Sinks in Canada (ECCC)

Doug Ford finally destroys one of the world’s best recovery and refill systems. Beer store commits to having a location within 10 km of the population- that’s the distance from the CN Tower to Yorkdale. Everything this man touches turns to shit.

Farm workers are bent over harvesting bell peppers in Kern County CA. They work rushing to keep up with the pace the tractor sets. When you eat a salad or a fajita remember the hands that harvest this vegetable. #WeFeedYou

Fossil fuel enthusiasts keep arguing that we need to increase our exports of LNG and oil to address energy poverty in the developing world. I call bullshit — and I bring my receipts. #abpoli #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/25/o...

This is so fucking stupid. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Renewables routinely generate more than half of U.K electricity. They also generate thousands of jobs, reduce our exposure to volatile gas prices, and allow us to stick two fingers up to fossil-fueled dictators. Leadership is knowing the way, showing the way, AND going the way…🇬🇧♻️⚡️👷👩‍🔧

In the Netherlands, over 40% of rail passengers arrive by bike. Since 2012 the country has invested €400m+ to add 200,000 new bike parking spaces at stations. The result? More rail use, fewer car trips, lower congestion and emissions, better public health - and far more efficient use of urban space.

Québec is powering up 🌬️⚡ Premier Legault + Hydro-Québec just announced up to 1,500 MW of new wind energy in eastern Québec — a $4.5B boost for #renewable power + local jobs. A BIG win for #climate & communities: https://ow.ly/n6VQ50Xx9f9#renewable#climate#climatenews

“The lack of concrete commitments in the final text of COP30 shows us who is still benefiting from the delay: the fossil fuel industry and the ultrarich, not those living the climate crisis every day,” said Ilan Zugman, Latin American and Caribbean director for 350.org, an environmental group.

ABSOLUTELY CRAZY HEAT -100% HISTORIC Thousands of records at record levels. Ex: SAUDI ARABIA 38.0 Yenbo ISRAEL 37.3 Eilat JORDAN 35.6 Aqaba CYPRUS 32.2 Alonoudi TURKEY 31.1 Incirlik ARMENIA 24.3 Sisian 1500m Monthly record broken by 3C! Summer will continue next days

Stop worrying about terraforming Mars and start preventing the venusification of Earth.

Petrostates, such as Saudi Arabia, Russia--and the U.S. under Republican rule--are a threat to us and the planet, and must be treated as such. #ScienceUnderSiege www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Humans will NEVER colonize another planet. Never. If we can’t even agree to do the minimum to keep Earth habitable, there’s no way in hell we’ll cooperate to make another planet habitable.

Canada’s proposed oil and gas expansion is a risky bet – for the planet and our economy www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/21/o...

Carney’s calamitous course causes consternation at climate conference www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/20/o...

A killer disease that should no longer exist. The existence of an effective HPV vaccine should have meant cervical cancer was stamped out. Instead, it’s the fastest growing cancer in Canada. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/edit... via @theglobeandmail.com

Compare and contrast the Government language. £3,750 EV grant on a £35k car: ‘helping families’. Cycle to Work: ‘subsidising leisure’. And yet cycling delivers TEN TIMES the impact of electric cars for reaching net zero. It’s almost like narrative, not data, is driving policy.

Not eating animals is a very robust rule of thumb when it comes to reducing your environmental footprint and the amount of suffering your diet may be producing.

Don't worry guys, the countries at COP30 definitely say they want to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Where are those emissions coming from? No idea. *screams into the void* www.bbc.com/news/article...

"Western electric-vehicle battery manufacturers currently import 100 per cent of their graphite from Asia. This plant will make the supply chain independent". The new plant will be locasted in Yarmouth Yards next door to the PowerCo (Volkswagen-owned) EV battery plant currently under construction.

"A decade ago, science showed us a narrow window of opportunity to avert the looming planetary crisis. That window has closed. We are now in the midst of the storm" My latest for Technosphere Earth reporting on a new paper published with the Earth League. www.technosphere.earth/living-beyon...

Solar capacity is expected to triple based on new projects in the pipeline. Total global solar capacity, including all projects in construction and planned, is expected to reach almost 3 terawatts, with 80% concentrated in just 15 countries. Data @globalenergymon.bsky.social

Seems like everyone is now seeing/admitting that the US LNG export business is in deep trouble from a financial standpoint. "Lower sales prices combined with higher transit costs will not just erode profitability, but may also strain exporter creditworthiness...."

First electric cars and buses, now trucks: in the past we were often told that electric trucks would not be feasible. But the market is picking up speed and electric trucks have become a reality. Expectations are for significant market expansion in the coming years.

New plan: Move to Paris.

What we eat has an effect on the environment. In fact, about about one-third of all global greenhouse gas emissions come from food, according to a study published in @nature.com, and the majority of those emissions are driven by meat.
