Thanks to @BurnabyNOW_News for printing the candidates responses to our #StopTMX question at the #Burnaby @Force_4_Nature Town Hall. This is still a major issue!

Here's the story in the G&M: https://t.co/3TT4DyqDN3

Reuters: "absolute emissions jumped 69% in a decade... producers say they need extensive govt subsidies...to meet #climate goals...emissions will climb to record 95Mt by 2030, from 83Mt in 2019...'we are going to have to offset emissions'" #cdnpoli 🇨🇦https://t.co/JIGB99ED7w

[Tsleil-Waututh Nation @tsleilwaututh]

Keystone XL is cancelled. This is great news for the climate, Indigenous rights and water protectors. TC Energy is walking away from the project and looking towards opportunities in renewable energy.

Princeton Uni to #divest: 'Businesses involved in thermal coal and tar sands will be exempt from dissociation only if they prove they can meet a "rigorous standard for greenhouse gas emissions," the University said.' #cdnpoli #AbLeg

[Mark Campanale @CampanaleMark]

Princeton Board of Trustees announced the University will divest from "thermal coal and tar sands segments of the fossil fuel industry" as well as companies that "engaged in climate disinformation campaigns." https://t.co/qQN33L4n42

Let journalists do their job, says #CdnMedia at the #OldGrowth blockade.

@markhumeglobe If Pacheedaht did practice "responsible forestry" (nation's forest manager's words) rather than wanton clearcutting of irreplaceable old-growth then the nation might not be so divided.

"The report suggests that private finance will now need to recognize that these heavily subsidized megaprojects are at risk of becoming stranded assets" -@SoniaFurstenau

Looks like it's going to be a long, hot summer in the woods. #bcpoli

"Minister Conroy and premier Horgan, are either completely incompetent or they're lying."

Tzeporah Berman returned to the blockade for the first time since Clayoquot Sound, and was arrested alongside over 30 other people at two sites on Saturday.

Why I went from B.C. Greens leader back to teaching climate https://t.co/0Ec0x6BvGy This video can be viewed as a stand alone epilogue to @RobertAlstead 's documentary "Running on Climate" that followed my 2012-13 election campaign. #bcpoli #cdnpoli #climatepolicy

[Robert Alstead @RobertAlstead]

Tried something new for me with this interview with former @bcgreens leader Andrew Weaver. Where @climatedoc was a kind of vérité, fly-on-the-wall piece I provide narration in this portrait of the scientist-turned-politician-turned scientist. #bcpoli https://t.co/RWvvBlYmm8

[Robert Alstead @RobertAlstead]

I may have been a bit churlish with this rendering of BC Election 2017 hung parliament, but not going to do cut-outs of 87 MLAs. #bcpoli

[Robert Alstead @RobertAlstead]

Reminds me of the time where the oil response ship en route to Joe Oliver's press conference promoting more tankers on BC's coast, had "an incident" with a BC ferry in Active Pass, before being stranded on a sandbar. #bcpoli #cdnpoli

Fieldwork Friday: Grizzlies are incredibly tough. They must ponder "What should I do today?" Maybe, pull a helicopter out of the air or bury an adult caribou, maybe rip the nose off another bear or just tear its lip off... Mackenzie Delta / Richardson Mountains, NWT.

[Running On Climate 🎞️ @climatedoc]

Good explanation of how compliance buying of Euro carbon, speculation, & politics (esp Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) may be impacting current #EUETS prices. #cdnpoli

[CarbonReporter @CarbonReporter]

I wasn't wrong...... "All these elements make up for a powerful cocktail of volatility. There's maybe another week of this before the market is cut loose from the predictability of compliance." Fasten your seat belts....

What does a BC climate scientist think of the "transitional fuel" argument for #BCLNG? #bcpoli #cdnpoli

[Running On Climate 🎞️ @climatedoc]

Talk about missing the boat! #bcpoli #cdnpoli

"LNG, which has been embraced by some other shipping lines, is not part of Maersk’s strategy: “We don’t need another fossil fuel,” Christiansen said."
