Sustainable development, in the areas of: trade & investment, mining, climate change. If I can't dance, I don't want to be part of your revolution.

Hey folks. This will be my last post on this site. Going Blue.

@bataille_chris @FT @IEA Yes, agreed on the risk.

But this is important: the IEA scenarios are not forecasts. They are scenarios.

@kinsellawarren Do you actually believe that any Canadian Foreign Minister could be relevant in this conflict?

If not, then what's your point?

If so, ... 😏

[Aaron Cosbey @AaronCosbey]

@GtaThoughts @Papaschase2 @andrew_leach zero? ok.

why do you think pine beetles were finally able to cross the divide from west to east? and i guess prolonged record heat and the resulting drying had no impact (or was due to sunspots).

@bataille_chris *Should* be the most interesting class in school. But not the way it's taught now.

After cutting their wildfire budget from $130M in 2017 to $100M, eliminating the 63-man Aerial Rapattack Team, closing 30 of Alberta’s 127 Wildfire Lookout Towers & cutting fire training, Alberta is now preparing to ask the fed gov for Armed Forces help to fight their #wildfires

[Aaron Cosbey @AaronCosbey]

@lherman8 @Pembina You would think. But some folks try very hard not to see. In Alberta, last year's wildfires were widely blamed on eco-terrorist arsonists trying to force the public to accept the Liberal globalist climate agenda. Even the firefighters were alleged to be UN operatives.

@richardgoatcher Maybe it's just a headline. You don't think it's newsworthy?

@UWI_StAugustine presents the challenges of a trade-dependent hydrocarbon-based small-island economy that is looking for the pathways for economic diversification and green job creation. (2/2) Read: https://t.co/iDmjEWpgyD

🏁As EU #CBAM is being rolled out and the UK’s CBAM might be fast approaching, we need to look at the global impact of border carbon adjustments. @IISD_ELP is kicking off the series of BCA reports with a view from Trinidad and Tobago! (1/2)

@LouisAnslow Energy density is not a metric of suitability for sources of energy.

Try cost of delivered unit of energy, speed of delivery from planning to completion, implications for security.

@andrew_leach We are in a post-truth era.

Politicians can just make shit up, knowing there are no consequences.

[Aaron Cosbey @AaronCosbey]

@bataille_chris @SagatomSaha @noahqk @gjain_nyc I predict she'll turn on the EU deforestation regulation. (and I think that's the right thing - needs revision) But not on CBAM.

[Aaron Cosbey @AaronCosbey]

@bataille_chris You mean transition phase of CBAM, right? First phase of ETS was 2005.

This is a couple of steps back from that on the path to policy. Once US has the data they can think about what policy serves US interest, and use the methodologies developed to make policy accordingly.

🚨 Another red alert!

🌍 AVg global temperature has been 1.5°C above the pre-industrial era for 12 successive months, according to @CopernicusECMWF.

🌡️ It was the hottest June on record and the 13th month in a row to set a monthly temp record.

@ILuvCO2 @KyleCherrick @2GBNews @BenFordham Look, you just happen to have chosen all EU countries in your sample! 😃

EU - where the retail cost of electricity is determined on a marginal cost basis. Meaning the low costs of renewables can't get passed along, as marginal producer is typically coal or gas-fired.
