@JonathanWNV - why are you subsidizing high-cost nuclear power when we have lower cost and faster options to reduce GHGs? https://t.co/ryeq6y7KnE

So that’s 1933, 1959, 1996, 2003, 2006, 2017, 2018, 2021 & 2022 the Sphinx has vanished.

I’m not a climatologist (nor even an academic), but it’s a pretty obvious direction of travel.

The future for semi-permanent snows in Scotland looks bleak. (2/2)

Burning wood from forests in B.C. for electricity is not clean or green. In a climate crisis it should be an absolute non-starter.

Can we talk about how absurd the concept of “sawmill waste” is?

It refers to the byproduct of logging entire forests. Pellet energy companies like Drax then use this categorization to justify burning wood for energy.

The forest is not a product. It’s a living ecosystem.

Climate talks brought to you by a major abuser of water around the world. Lovely!!!

This comparison of satellite images of Prince Edward Island and the Northumberland Strait, taken on August 21 and September 25, 2022, shows the extent to which the extreme wind and wave action of the storm has churned up the seafloor and eroded the coastline.

"The force of the water moved some homes off their foundations, and one house in Nome was floating down a river until it got caught at a bridge."

Dear #ONS2022, more oil and gas projects like @Equinor / @EquinorASA’s #BayduNord are NOT the way forward! It’s time to go 100% renewable! #Stavanger #ONSLookUp @jonasgahrstore @jcvestre https://t.co/q7OrQrNxzW

[Sierra Club Canada Fdn @SierraClubCan]

NGOs from all over the world are sending a message to the streets of #Stavanger: #ONS2022 Invest in a renewable transition instead of more oil and gas projects like @Equinor/@EquinorASA's #BayduNord!

We’re in a climate crisis, yet Canada is thinking about exporting more gas from the East Coast. Join me in telling @JonathanWNV, @cafreeland, @s_guilbeault that we don’t want more fossil fuels! https://t.co/as2QdAwjbp #cdnpoli

YES! Experimental nuclear reactors (SMRs) DO need an impact assessment: Speak Out now! https://t.co/YdGMArCkWW

”We are approaching the precipice and I would strongly suggest that all of those who have not yet been greenwashed out of our senses to stand our ground. Do you not let them drag us another inch closer to the edge. Right now is where we stand our ground.”

Thank you Glastonbury!

Canada can hit its conservation targets if the provinces and territories work with Indigenous partners to formally protect ongoing conservation initiatives like the Seal River Watershed in northern Manitoba, a new @CPAWS report finds. https://t.co/FaUgNuHDEG

BREAKING: New IISD report outlines, in no uncertain terms, that we must end new oil and gas development and exploration immediately in order to hold global warming to the critical 1.5°C.

Here’s why this matters. 🧵
