In 1988, the United Nations predicted that sea level rise would wipe out the Maldives within 30-years' time. 36-years have now come and gone since that prediction was made, and the Maldives have actually grown in size. I am pretty confident they will still be around come 2100.
"As courts become increasingly sympathetic to legal concepts such as “collective good” and so-called “group” rights, free speech in Canada becomes less an individual right to say what you think and more a privilege to express ideas consistent with what is deemed the public interest."
The increasing authority of the administrative state.

People don’t bring their own toilet paper to work, so they shouldn’t have to bring their own pads and tampons.
We changed that. We put free menstrual products in federally-regulated workplaces.
This bracelet is for Menstrual Hygiene Day.
And there you have it: more evidence China's emissions may have peaked last year, will plateau this year and next and then start falling
Why? EVs + record-breaking expansion of solar and wind, which covered 90% of the growth in electricity demand

Rather strong inter-model ensemble agreement at the moment regarding the growing possibility of a significant and potentially prolonged heatwave across most of the Western U.S. starting around Jun 5-6 as strong/broad ridge builds. Details TBD. #CAwx#CAfire
If Pierre Poilievre was prime minister, his cuts agenda would have Canada in a recession
It’s no coincidence that from 2018 to 2023 per capita GDP of Ontario, New Brunswick, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Alberta shrank, that’s what a cuts agenda does
Got a tour of the Ranbir Kambo’s orchard with the BC Fruit Growers Association in #Osoyoos. Fruit growers like Ranbir were heavily impacted by extreme temperatures. Our team is determined to help farmers and strengthen BC’s agriculture and food supply.
The surface temperature of the North Atlantic Ocean & the associated extremely rapid increase in the mean surface temperature of the Northern Hemisphere deserve our refined attention!!
We have already passed +2°C. But it seems far from the end of the accelerating rise.

I’m about to put @Rogers on blast.
But before i do, let me know if you’ve had a bad experience with them
I normally don’t use my platform for this but sometimes it’s necessary.
Two countries—Slovenia and Venezuela—have lost all of their glaciers. It is a grim benchmark showing the progression of climate change https://t.co/lQIqiiX3Ab
In the last month Twitter has become unbearable. Musk says freedom of speech but his algos flood your timeline with paid for catastrophe BOTS. It's basically killed the experience for me.
One billion tonnes of CO2 weighs the same as 3,000 Empire State Buildings.
1,100 billion tonnes of human CO2 weighs more than everything on Earth built by humans.
1,100 billion tonnes of CO2 heats the planet to 6C. The other GHGs add a further 4C.
Vastly more GHGs are released as the planet warms.
It's over, but we need to do whatever we can to protect ourselves.
JUST IN... New study estimates North Shore #SkyTrain from Park Royal to Metrotown could see 120,000 boardings per day and a travel time of 23 minutes.
Contrast to BRT (40,000 boardings, 58 mins) & LRT (100,000 boardings, 47 mins). #bcpoli#vanpoli#vanre
