There's a good Margaret Atwood story about this

[Prof. Peter Strachan @ProfStrachan]

Read this. It's hard to ignore. Let it sink in.

'Scientists detect a sharp acceleration in global warming'.

"If the warming rate of the past 10 years continues, it would lead to a long-term exceedance of the 1.5°C limit of the Paris Agreement before 2030."

"How quickly the Earth continues to warm ultimately depends on how rapidly we reduce global CO2 emissions from fossil fuels to zero."

Stefan Rahmstorf, Professor of Physics of the Ocean at the University of Potsdam

For all the talk and photo ops around helping the Filipino community heal after the Lapu Lapu festival tragedy, they sure don't care very much about the fixed-income Filipino seniors trying to survive in this city #vanpoli #vanre

Obviously this is a stupid idea …and not just because I wouldn’t get any of Chip’s 25 votes.

It can be done if there’s the political will.

[Jason Kenney 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇮🇱 @jkenney]

Message to patriots who think this is done & dusted.

It's not.

Imagine 40% turnout. That's what we had for the standalone equalization referendum in 2022.

The 10% or so of the electorate who are hard core separatists will crawl over broken glass to vote.

Not hard to imagine another 10% who are frustrated federalists showing up to cast a "send a message" vote.

Then you've suddenly got 20% of the electorate winning, and pushing us into wood chipper for the next year.

Don't let it happen.

Get involved in @VotetoStayAB or another group that supports a strong Alberta within Canada.

And don't take for granted the overwhelming support for national unity. It only matters if the silent super majority show up to vote.

The planet keeps sending emergency alerts in smoke, floods, fire and record heat. Capitalism keeps hitting “dismiss” because addressing the crisis might inconvenience shareholders.

Energy Minister Dix announces cabinet exemption from BCUC review Fortis Tilbury LNG refueling project. Cabinet colleague Kelly Greene expresses disappointment, says still opposed and raised her concerns at “every opportunity.” Cabinet confidentiality? Solidarity?

JUST IN🚨: In a historic environmental turnaround, Costa Rica has doubled its rainforest canopy over the last few decades, making it the very first tropical nation to fully reverse deforestation.

Holborn reneges on social housing commitment at Little Mountain but @KenSimCity and ABC council allow it to build pvt. development there.
Holborn lets heritage Dunsmuir Hotel fall into disrepair, demolishes it with no penalty and proposes city's highest tower.
Fair?

If I’m elected as a city councillor, one of the things I’d aim to do is go see and walk around any property I’d have to vote on.

To that end, I spent part of today driving around to some of the sites that I am less familiar with in the villages plan being voted on July 28

We can’t survive without bees.
We can’t survive without forests.
We can’t survive without healthy oceans.
We can’t survive without clean rivers.
We can’t survive without fertile soil.

And somehow…
we still act as if humans exist separately from nature.

This is the Breakwater - where the Fraser River meets the Salish sea at Roberts bank in Delta BC 🇨🇦 an incredible abundance of bird and marine life - how can we even consider putting this at risk?

NEW from me: I took a deep dive into the American hedge fund-owned Canadian newspaper chain that’s pushing anti-trans, pro-genocide and climate science denial narratives down our throats.
