Climate change is causing "a major paradigm shift" in real estate markets due to the impact on insurance, says investment guru David Burt, who predicted the 2008 financial collapse... The Fed "should focus on the markets where home prices are falling"... www.axios.com/2025/09/23/d...

The world’s top fossil fuel countries still plan to produce more than twice as much coal, gas and oil as would be consistent with climate goals. In fact, they’re planning even more than they were two years ago.

...while they also invest in growing that risk via fossil fuels.

Our Senior Policy Analyst Michael Sambasivam spoke with Vassy Kapelos this week about the inclusion of LNG on Canada's major projects list. Have a listen below. #ESG #Canada #LNG

Despite all the net zero pledges, all the marketing, researchers found only 2% of companies had aligned their capital investment with their net zero goal As they say, money talks and it’s speaking volumes

It's not your imagination: Wildfire smoke in the U.S. has dramatically worsened since 2019. According to a new study, it's already killing 41,000 people a year - and it's poised to get much worse. new from me @johnmuyskens.bsky.social and @sadbumblebee.buzz www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

New research tracks the alarming number of European heat deaths linked with human-caused global warming.

A new study finds dozens of heat waves would be "virtually impossible" without the activity of major fossil fuel producers, including oil companies.

Hold onto your wallets. The federal government is about to give a bunch of your money away to hugely profitable fossil fuel companies.

Science showing connection between fossil fuel producers & climate impacts getting stronger: New study quantifies contribution to killer heat waves of 8 Canadian O&G companies (CNRL, ARC Resources, CNRL, Cenovus, Obsidian, Ovintiv, Suncor, Teck & Tourmaline) www.ctvnews.ca/climate-and-...

⚡ Renewable energy insurance grew 9% annually while fossil fuel insurance declined 2%. The market is speaking loud and clear, but we need DOUBLE the growth rate to meet climate goals. Insurers: the renewable energy boom needs you! #InsureOurFuture global.insure-our-future.com/2025-renewab...

The Office of the Chief Actuary is severely underestimating the systemic financial risks of climate change to pension plans and failing to assess the cascading economic and financial impacts of a rapidly warming world. Read our letter to the OCA. #cdnpoli www.shiftaction.ca/news/2025/8/...

UPDATED: Canada is pushing LNG exports to Germany, but with demand falling fast and a global gas glut ahead, experts say the risks are high. @ember-energy.org, @investors4paris.bsky.social, and @miningwatch.bsky.social weigh in on this developing story with @cleanenergywire.bsky.social 👇

BREAKING: Canada is pushing to export LNG to Germany within 5 years, pledging new infrastructure. Critics warn of falling demand, stranded assets, and risks to the energy transition. 🍁🛢️ Read more: www.theenergymix.com/breaking-can...

1/ The feds will soon name new directors to the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board. #cdnpoli Our $732bn pension is still fossil-entangled. 3 of 10 directors are tied to oil & gas companies. Canadians need climate experts– not #fossilfuel interests– on the board. www.hilltimes.com/story/2025/0...

🛢 As Canadians swelter through another summer of heatwaves, drought and wildfires, the Canada Pension Plan is investing our money in the #fossilfuels driving the #climatecrisis. 📜 Check out our new summary breaking down CPP's private fossil fuel assets. #cdnpoli www.shiftaction.ca/cppib-fossil...

Residents of California, Texas, New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey are hit the hardest.

Cenovus & Enbridge face a greenwashing complaint alleging they misled investors with incomplete net-zero claims. @investors4paris.bsky.social says their business models contradict climate goals, breaching Alberta securities law. More: www.theenergymix.com/breaking-cen...

Canadian pension funds are already using the ‪Science-Based Targets initiative to inform their climate strategies. Will they hold themselves to the new SBTi standard for financial institutions- which calls for an end to financing #fossilfuel expansion? #cdnpoli www.shiftaction.ca/news/2025/81...

Natural Resources Minister Tim Hodgson recently said he knows there are buyers for Canadian LNG. But is that true? There's a global gas glut on the horizon and Canada is a late entrant with few credible prospects. Via @dariussnieckus.bsky.social www.nationalobserver.com/2025/08/20/a...

Meanwhile, as Canada burns, most politicians are calling for more fossil fuels.

Nova Scotia. New Brunswick. Newfoundland. ON. MB. SK. BC. NT. Yukon. All experiencing currently out-of-control #wildfires (acc. to CWFIS). This is Canada's second-worst wildfire season on record.🚨 The worst? 2023. Third worst? 2024. Tell your MP to stop fuelling #FireWeather now👉 bit.ly/41DumOq

The insurance industry is sounding the alarm about the growing financial risks of the #climatecrisis, with big implications for pension funds. If we fail to limit global heating to safe levels, it could become impossible for pensions to fulfill their mandate. #cdnpoli

Canada and the US want to keep exporting fossil fuels, but the world is moving on. Meanwhile, we could turn into Cuba, with old model, polluting vehicles only on our roads.

Heat is a silent killer worsened by climate change, and it's been omnipresent in many areas across Canada this summer. Toronto has been under heat warnings for more than half the summer as of the end of July. @cape-acme.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

We can continue to find new ways in which voluntary action has limits on scale. Or we can take the lessons and apply it to have real action at scale through good regulations. There is a choice here and we aren't choosing for action. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

🏦 The European Central Bank will apply a “climate factor” to its loans from 2026, pricing climate risk into European finance for the first time. The move could penalize high-carbon assets, reward low-carbon ones, and reshape borrowing costs across the market. Experts call it a 'watershed moment'.

Why insurers worry the world could soon become uninsurable On an inflation-adjusted basis, average insured losses rose by 5.9% per year between 1994 and 2023, almost twice faster than GDP over the same period (2.7%)... cnb.cx/3HoGpZ2

Global ICE sales peaked in 2016 at 80.47 million autos and fell to 62.05 million in 2024! They will fall further as EV sales continue to grow around the World. EV sales may be 30 million in 2028, pushing ICE below 50 million.

BC gives $200 million subsidy to Cedar LNG weeks after the International Court of Justice confirmed that fossil fuel subsidies risk violating international law and open governments up to severe legal risk. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/07/31/n...

Barclays says they can’t commit to cutting emissions because their clients aren't cutting emissions i.e. they always just intended to finance whatever their clients wanted and were never serious about trying to steer their clients away from fossil fuels. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

No surprise here. These projects are always costed too low by developers. They also make little sense given the LNG glut.

Chinese electric vehicle exports grew 230% in the first half of this year alone 🤯 Meanwhile, we punched ourselves in the face and went home with a bloody nose 🤕

Smoke from Canadian wildfires set off multiple air quality alerts on Thursday across the Midwest and the Canadian prairies, stretching eastward to Toronto.

People claim oil and gas in Canada isn't subsidized, but that's not true. Governments give away billions each year to hugely profitable companies through direct funds, tax breaks, preferential financing and more (including a pipeline). An explainer. #ableg #cdnpoli thenarwhal.ca/oil-and-gas-...

Motherfucking wind farms…

BC's Premier just announced $200M for transmission and compressors to electrify the Cedar LNG terminal. The fed govt also announced $200M in March. Here's the thing: Cedar LNG was approved 2 yrs ago conditional on electrification and its investors gave it a go-ahead 1 yr ago. Why do they need tax $?

Congratulations! 👏 "Not since 2011, when a tsunami rammed into Japan and triggered a nuclear meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, have first-half insured losses stemming from natural catastrophes been greater." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

High premiums drove a combined profit of $4.13 billion for Canadian property and casualty insurers in 2024. But as climate risks multiply and premiums skyrocket, the current situation is becoming unsustainable. Some insurance firms have started quietly retreating from the riskiest regions.
