“over the course of the year the annual decline is likely to be only about 7%, if some restrictions to halt the virus remain in place. However, if they are lifted in mid-June the fall for the year is likely to be only 4%.” https://t.co/xyzLWefm7i
"If emissions had peaked around 2000, we could have gotten by with reductions of around 2% /y. But they didn’t. They’re still rising, and the reduction required now is 7-8 %/y. — on par with the decrease due to coronavirus lockdown." https://t.co/0P5qB4SrsR via @grist
"Even a 10% drop in emissions from this year would still translate to an increase of 2 ppm in the CO₂ count... The effort needs to be titanic, bigger than for Covid" https://t.co/m11V7t6UFm
The company behind the enzyme, originally discovered in a heap of compost, said it was aiming for industrial-scale recycling within five years. https://t.co/Dr79dgP25e
Ce que l’on demande M le Ministre @CharetteB , c’est de suivre les recommandations du GIEC et d’inscrire les cibles dans la loi. L’inaction aura un coût bien plus lourd que celui de l’action. @CQDE_infos https://t.co/5WWSRQSwOS
13/01/2020 - Décision instructive de la QCCA dans l'affaire Strateco: 1) l'acceptabilité sociale insérée de façon cohérente et élégante dans le cadre juridique; 2) réitération des enseignements de Wallot 2011 re: expropriation déguisée; 3) appel à la CSC? https://t.co/kPomHArDSQ
@BrunoGenereux Qc profite du cours du gaz naturel sans en produire, alors pourquoi le faire? Si d'autres juridictions ne se "salissaient pas les mains", un prix plus élevé alignerait la demande sur d'autres filières rennouvelables plus efficientes et sur l'hydro avec ses surplus de production
Reflects previous tweet re: no new infrastructure and equipment running on O&G, with phase out/replacement by 100% renewables from the end of 2018. Hopefuly that will be clear for Legault’s govt in negociations with Questerre about shale gas exploration
Existing oil projects are more than enough to send the world past 1.5°C of warming. A new report from @CarbonBubble says not a single new oil project should go forward in order to stop that trend.

Une décision (en appel) pourrait enfin enligner le droit d'accès à l'information environnementale avec les dispositions législatives: "Il faut donner tout son sens à ce droit d’accès nettement plus généreux à l’information en matière environnementale." https://t.co/qFT7v3Q4Kg
If this leak is accurate, it means that the UN will announce in August that the world's land has already more or less reached the level of warming the UN summit in September is designed to merely strategize a way to possibly prevent.
Tout dépend des chefs d'accusation - selon R c. Lanthier, CQ, 2002, para.46, 49, résister à une arrestation n'évite pas un péril, de telle sorte qu'il existe des alternative à la violation de la loi, ce qui écarte la nécecessité https://t.co/P7hzBOdFI0 via @lp_lapresse
EROI is energy transition's cutting edge
New paper https://t.co/QEWDqzOUkG says that transition from fossil fuels is a must, but halving of global EROI will hinder move to renewables. Policy answer should be asap investment in renewable-run infrastructure https://t.co/pYwPlDWyG1
About https://t.co/M0xxL0lAP1, @ENJEUquebec will appeal the decision https://t.co/a0ry3nANqk, and @TrudelJohnston appear confident on the class definition issue, but I have the feeling that the argument at para.140-144 is a bigger hurdle
