"Fossil fuels are fanning the flames of this crisis. Expansion must stop. More coal, oil and gas will lead to a more combustible future. Unless we act – to protect people and tackle the root cause of the crisis – the dangers will become deadlier still.” - UN Secretary-General António Guterres.

I hate the hindsight bias & revisionist history fuelled "middle ground fallacy" emerging (in media, politically, etc) around the attack on Fauci. We all (read: those who support science, justice, rationality, decency, reality...) need to stand against the lies, spin, and corruption.

Again: We need a wealth limit (see full thread below). It's either an upper wealth limit & democracy OR ever-concentrating wealth, oligarchy, & eco-collapse. Distant as it seems, oligarchs will not stop until it's one or the other. The choice is ours. #CDNpoli #USpoli #Inequality #Oligarchy

A limit on extreme individual wealth above healthy, competitive rewards; With any extreme #wealth at the highest end of the spectrum clawed back and shared equally by all. The proposal in my article for @theenergymix.com: energymixweekender.substack.com/p/a-new-fund... #CDNpoli #Canada #USpoli #US

Great new article by Scott here and there's so much to write about but one thing that resonated for me. Namely, that we will one day look back in shame and frustration that we didn't create a floor beneath us all that we could stand on. That so many people suffered needlessly...

I just read Sapolsky's book Determined and it kind of blew my mind. There's a biological argument for unconditional basic income to be made based on how our decisions depend on factors beyond our control. If free will is an illusion, then we should make sure to end poverty and reduce chronic stress.

@mark-carney.bsky.social Canada could be a world leader in renewables, instead you double down on fossil fuels. I sincerely hope you do not doom us all.

@mark-carney.bsky.social Canada must stop subsidizing the fossil fuel industry now. We must lower emissions now. There is no planet B

Greece is burning. Spain is burning. Sicily, Wales, Türkiye, Canada, the US— the entire planet is engulfed in flames. Decades of warnings ignored. Decades of corporate denial exposed. The science was right all along: our home is on fire. We need immediate, radical climate action.

"Pathways is a non-binding pledge that enables expanded oil production, higher greenhouse gas emissions and billions in public subsidies for pipelines and carbon-capture infrastructure — This is not climate policy; it is greenwashing dressed up as national strategy."

Pathways is a costly climate fiction — and Canadians are paying for it

The 2025 Alberta–Carney agreement explicitly links pipeline construction to the Pathways project. Despite record profits — $37 billion for oilsands producers in 2023 — Canadians are being asked to fin...

Emancipation Day marks the anniversary of the abolition of slavery throughout much of the British Empire. It is a time to honour the resilience and immeasurable contributions of people of African descent to Canada while recognizing that the work of decolonization remains unfinished.
