@TranBC
Does BC have an established priority of road users like this?

The homes of a quarter of the animals that live in our oceans. Gone forever.

We should grieve & know that these tipping points are gonna fall like dominoes.

Now is not the time for ‘carrying on as normal’.

All our homes are at risk.

[Mike Hudema @MikeHudema]

Repeat after me: fossil fuel companies will not lead us out of this crisis.

No time to wait. #ActOnClimate

@ed_hawkins Thanks Ed.
More and more people are getting it.

400 MWh of grid forming sodium-ion batteries.

Great to see this potentially cheaper alternative to lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries taking off!

Still more expensive ($160/kWh for the entire system) but that will change.

Putting people first and seeking equity helps prevent abuses of power like polluting oil and gas industries that leave the population to "pick up the costs". (healthcare impacts, erratic weather, drought. etc.)

[Alexander Kristensen @LinkN01]

So, in Norway 🇳🇴 97% of all cars sold in June were EV.

Let that sink in.

@mathewsbrett1 wowza Brett big change! Same good heart :-)

[Ed Hawkins @ed_hawkins]

1°C of global warming does NOT mean that heatwaves 'just' get hotter by 1°C.

Over large parts of the UK, global warming means that heatwaves are 3-4°C warmer, with worse consequences for people and ecosystems.

@WabKinew we'd love to have you join us on Bluesky.
(its less toxic over there. ;-) )
Be well.

(didn't see your bluesky account listed here)

To fight the pollution that causes climate change we need clean electricity and we need to "electrify everything" that we can.

Look how rising fuel costs drove up electricity prices in 2024 for the EU. "burning gas" isn't cheap and is subject to price volatility

[Ember @ember_energy]

🇪🇺 EU gas prices rose by 59% in 2024 to nearly DOUBLE its pre-crisis levels 📈💶

Supplier volatility is also at an all-time high amid geopolitical instability, exposing the risks of overreliance on imported fossil fuels 🚩

@CBCNews Why are you posting here and not on BlueSky?

Engagement with your posts on X earns Elon money.
Bluesky is significantly less toxic.

Come join the party!
It's better there. 🥳🪩

[Fraser Valley Climate Action 🌍💚 @FVClimateAction]

@JustinTrudeau Thanks for your service.
For choosing calm and "sunny ways" instead of rage, fear and manipulation.
Success (and some well deserved rest) in what you do next.

[Fraser Valley Climate Action 🌍💚 @FVClimateAction]

@WestcoastWood @BowinnMa Thank you for your thoughtful comments.

I've noticed on bluesky there is more of a culture of blocking trolling behaviour (and reporting if it is terrible) rather than "dignifying it with a response".

Bluesky seems healthier than x
I'm still working on recognizing trolling.

#Renewables, like wind and solar, are already the CHEAPEST sources of electricity globally and have been shown to help drive down power bills in Alberta and the U.S. https://t.co/V0VQr82mnY

[Fraser Valley Climate Action 🌍💚 @FVClimateAction]

British Columbians’ electricity bills are already among North America’s lowest at roughly half of what an Alberta household pays for power. https://t.co/V0VQr82mnY

#Renewables are reliable and affordable.

@City_Abbotsford Is this for every hole? or just for deep holes?

[Fraser Valley Climate Action 🌍💚 @FVClimateAction]

@City_Abbotsford @DaveFLoewen Hey @City_Abbotsford We see you are on Bluesky.
Are you also going to post this there?
