This is not a "pause." It is a destruction now.

And here is the terrible scale of the damage this will do to America and humanity.

For posterity: some of the children’s artwork that Cllr Montague found “intimidating” at today’s presentation on his amendment to re-introduce gas to future construction.

Imagine how intimidated those kids felt coming to City Hall to present concerns about their climate future.

A huge loss, of a huge life. Murray Sinclair changed this whole country for the better, and the ripples of the impacts he made will continue for generations.

The BC Conservative Party has released an education platform that shows a deep misunderstanding of public schools and what students in them need. #BCElection2024 #ITeachIVote #bcpoli #bced 1/9

In a Council characterized by cynical policy moves, this feels like a new low. Deadly heat, catastrophic wildfires: it could not make it more obvious that we need to substantially step up #climateaction and that includes no new fossil fuel infrastructure.

[Pete Fry @PtFry]

BREAKING,
First council appearance in a month, Ken Sim zooms in from vacation overseas to tiebreak a back-of-the-napkin amendment from ABC's Montague to roll back climate work:
"Council resolves to allow natural gas for heating and hot water for new construction"

With almost every municipality in B.C. now in the midst of its budget process, I decided to look at where things were at for increases this year.

Outside of Kamloops, big cities are in the 4-9% range, with Vancouver in the middle.

Looking good Hoboken! Looking good!

Between a councillor saying they "overpromised" on the bike lane and the head of the budget task force saying "the complexity surprised me", yesterday was a good example in Vancouver why winning is easier than governing

The chances for real progress at COP28 were badly damaged early this year when an oil company CEO was appointed to lead the negotiations. And now investigative journalists have confirmed some of the worst fears of those who criticized that absurd appointment with the shocking news that the President-designate has been using the meetings he has set up with nations around the world to sell more oil and gas. At the same time, the fossil fuel company he leads (the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company) has been preparing to launch one of the largest expansions of oil and gas production of any company in the world — timed to begin immediately after COP28 concludes.

Using international climate talks as leverage to shore up support for pumping more oil and gas at a time when we urgently need to phase out fossil fuels is — to say the least — utterly appalling.
