I was pretty blunt at @GlblCtzn about how we need business to be real on #netzero - and held accountable. We need to ensure that everyone who cares about climate can reward the leaders by choosing to work for them, buy from them, invest w/ them. That's why clear standards matter.

I asked #ChatGPT4 to explain #ClimateChange in the voice of #Shakespeare. The result is quite extraordinary:

#CCS remains expensive & unproven despite decades of investment. It's not a reliable solution to reduce Canada’s oil & gas emissions: https://t.co/2CTvzx5AJJ

The bottom line? 🇨🇦 should stop subsidizing #CCS, invest in future industries, & set a stringent oil & gas emissions cap.

[Alan Andrews @AAGreenLambeth]

I woke up to the great news that HSBC had pledged to stop financing new oil and gas. I got to work to learn RBC has cut the Canadian unit out as part of its merger deal: https://t.co/nNA9d0SJtF via @Yahoo

🔴 We’re LIVE from #COP27!

How can #energy scenarios guide 🇨🇦's public investments & help align policies with #climate goals?

[Pembina Institute @Pembina]

A new quarter, but no new progress. Despite a historic year for profits and cashflow, oilsands companies are still not releasing detailed, concrete plans to cut their emissions – instead, they’re still rewarding their shareholders. https://t.co/yd6SWoAYLq

[ClimateActionTracker @catclimate.bsky.social @climateactiontr]

Massive gas expansion risks overtaking positive climate policies. Our COP27 global update finds govts' focus on energy crisis has replaced #ClimateAction. Proposed, approved & under-construction #LNG projects globally likely to send emissions way past 1.5. https://t.co/QdA55UegpC

[Catherine Abreu @catabreu_]

BREAKING: at #COP27, the UN Secretary General’s high-level expert group is releasing a new standard to turn empty net-zero commitments into meaningful climate action. Stick with me for details - it’s very good news 🧵

[Keith Stewart @climatekeith]

Thread: Big things I think this column gets wrong re the battle over GHG cap on oil & gas:
1. The companies haven't promised to invest $24B;
2. The companies are running a pretty nasty campaign against the proposed regulation, via a front group. https://t.co/hKhQBCsena #cdnpoli

[Keith Stewart @climatekeith]

Belated thread on what IEA's 2022 World Energy Outlook says re Canada. TL/DR: If world makes serious progress on current commitments (APS scenario), Canadian oil & gas production plummet (as global demand falls), but there are big opportunities in energy transition #cdnpoli

[Caroline Lee @Caroline_Lee2]

Today the @IEA released its latest World Energy Outlook. For the first time ever, there is no scenario that sees continued, long-term growth of *any* fossil fuel, including natural gas.

[Brendan Haley @br_haley]

Ok. I would like to contest this dangerous idea that Canada can make lower climate investments because it has carbon pricing

See 🧵below

[Aaron Cosbey @AaronCosbey]

Idiotic editorial from the @nationalpost blindly repeats 2 of the most basic fallacies about the transition from fossil-fuel economies to alternative-energy economies. (1/3)

[Chris Bataille @bataille_chris]

This is an under-told story, and essential to understanding 🇨🇦 GHG emissions. Simply put, oil & gas, and specifically oil sands, are adding emissions as fast as we can squeeze them out of the rest of the economy.

[Investors for Paris Compliance @investors4paris]

This is why Canada's (property) insurance industry is getting worked up about adaptation policy - now if only we can convince them to stop making the crisis worse via their investments.

[Simon Donner @simondonner]

This isn't a line. After years of doing climate research, I absolutely believe this to be true:

[Fatih Birol @fbirol]

The global growth of EVs will be turbocharged by the US Inflation Reduction Act & moves by other major economies.

By 2030, *one out of every two cars* sold in China, the EU & the US is set to be electric, based on new @IEA analysis. EVs' global market share to reach nearly 40%.

[Nichole Dusyk @NDusyk]

Check out a new brief by @AaronCosbey that explains why Canada needs to plan for declining oil production.

[IISD Energy @IISD_Energy]

What is the future of global #oil demand?

A new @IISD_news brief shows realistic @IEA scenarios point to a permanent & sustained decline as soon as 2030. As a major producer, 🇨🇦 must plan for a future beyond oil & gas.
