@HyperbolicDisco@stuartlosaltos And the only way people can be comfortable is by fracking natural gas!? Do you understand how new and harmful a practice this is?
There are so many strong arguments against liquified natural gas (LNG) that can be made without even mentioning the climate. Fracking is a terrible environmental scourge, irrespective of one's views on the Greenhouse Effect.
We oppose the memorandum of understanding between the Canadian & Alberta governments to construct the Northern Gateway Pipeline to ship diluted bitumen to Asia.But our acting executive director has questions about how we can work with big environmental groups that also oppose it
I am probably not the only person who worked for the BC Conservative Party in 2024/25 who opposes the pipeline MOU. But I'll probably be the only one who sticks their head up and publicly says that. Here's why:

Funniest line of the 2020s, on the Woke attempt to cancel @ProjectBeavers' ecosystem restoration work as "hate-adjacent,"
“I just don’t get it,” she said, betraying not a hint of irony or sarcasm in her delivery, “what do all these trans rights activists have against beavers?”
🚨 Alarm bells are ringing in the Horn of Africa. Farms are no longer yielding, pests are spreading, and tropical diseases are emerging. Climate change is real, and it’s destroying lives. #ClimateCrisis#GlobalAction
Blackbirds live for only around four years, yet in that short time they fill our gardens & woodlands with their beauty and unmistakably ethereal song🪶🎶
They feed on all manner of insects, but it’s the humble earthworm they love most. And by tilting their head to one side, they can actually hear the faint movements of worms beneath the surface — a talent that makes them masters of the lawn at dawn ☀️🪱
Some believe that if you gather the feathers of a Blackbird and place them beneath the pillow of a sleeping loved one, they will speak their innermost desires and darkest secrets....but ask yourself… do you truly want to know? 🪶🐦⬛
The Gulf Stream could collapse as early as 2060.
A new study from Utrecht University reveals that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC)—the engine behind the Gulf Stream—is weakening far more rapidly than earlier projections suggested. This vast ocean conveyor carries warm tropical water northward to Europe and sends cold water back south, moderating Northern Europe’s climate, sustaining global rainfall patterns, and stabilizing weather systems worldwide.
If the AMOC collapses, that equilibrium would shatter.
Researchers calculated that even under a moderate emissions pathway—limiting warming to 1.5 °C (2.7 °F) above current levels—there is a 37 % chance of AMOC failure by 2100. In high-emissions scenarios, the risk climbs to 70 %. Even the most optimistic models give a 25 % probability of collapse.
A shutdown would bring severe winters to Europe, widespread droughts, and devastating agricultural losses. Global precipitation belts would shift, and sea levels along the U.S. East Coast could surge by up to a meter or more.
In essence, the AMOC is a planetary tipping point—and we are nearer to triggering it than previously estimated.
European climate officials now label the threat a “national security priority,” yet coordinated global action remains inadequate.
The last major AMOC slowdown, 12,000 years ago, sparked abrupt regional climate swings. This time, with human societies far more interconnected, adaptation may not keep pace.
How do we confront a danger that builds over decades yet could irreversibly transform the world?
Today we found something magical, deep in the wild green heart of Sumatra: Rafflesia kemumu in full bloom. One of the world's largest flowers, to see this extremely rare species in full bloom is truly special.
Fast-tracking Ksi Lisims LNG gives Trump’s billionaire donors a direct line to Canadian public dollars. It’s time to take this project off the fast-track list and stop pouring public dollars into fossil fuels.
Mark your calendars! Join us on Saturday, December 20, for a Deep Green Solstice, our live fundraising event. With some very special guests. More details coming!
🚨🇦🇶 ANTARCTICA’S LAST WARNING: THE ICE IS ABOUT TO SNAP
East Antarctica - the quiet giant that holds half the planet’s fresh water - may be losing its grip. Again.
New research says it’s replaying a 9,000-year-old catastrophe, when warm ocean water crept under the ice, sliced off 30% of its edge, and pulled the rest down with it.
Now, deep currents are doing the same thing beneath Thwaites and Pine Island - glaciers so unstable scientists call one the “Doomsday Glacier.”
Once the melt starts, the planet doesn’t just warm - it amplifies.
Freshwater from one region traps more heat below, accelerates melting elsewhere, and the whole continent begins to unravel.
That’s the nightmare loop: cascading positive feedback - the scientific term for “you can’t stop this.”
Ten feet of sea-level rise. Gone: Miami, Shanghai, Lagos, New York. Hundreds of millions displaced.
The ice doesn’t care about your emissions targets or election cycles. It moves on geological time - until it doesn’t.

At the same time, we cannot afford monocausal explanations for flooding. Industrial civilization's reshaping of local climates and ecosystems would produce more catastrophic floods, even without anthropogenic global warming.

Octopuses have been wandering in the oceans for 296 million years.
They have three hearts and blue blood and they can even be elegant in their magical underwater dance.
USA Polar vortex to bring temps as cold as 20 to 30 degrees below average as far as Florida
As Arctic warms it weakens Polar Jet Stream that normally keeps Arctic air locked in Arctic, but in a weakened state allows Arctic air to drift further South
