Born at 317 ppm, paying attention most of my life, not optimistic 🤷‍♀️🇨🇦

I think holding a fire sale for foreign investors, including Americans, and selling off Canada’s critical infrastructure is a bad idea and inconsistent with shoring up our sovereignty. Just one man’s opinion!

“In February 2025, Burgum spent an hour with Wael Sawan, the CEO of Shell. Across three days in March, he met with the CEOs of Chevron, ExxonMobil and BP, which have each invested in technology for data centers or have agreements to help power those facilities.” 🤔

President Trump’s directive to accelerate data center development on federal lands is facing public backlash and legal hurdles. But the administration is pushing full steam ahead — and sparking concerns it is prioritizing corporate needs over the public good.

One of the most underappreciated climate risks is dangerously warm overnight temperatures. We’re seeing an increasing frequency of nighttime lows staying at 80°F (26.67°C) or higher. There’s no question that 2026 was the warmest contiguous US summer for this impact. Data: doi.org/10.7289/V5SX...

Line graph showing average minimum temperatures for each June-August in the contiguous U.S. (CONUS) from 1895 to 2026. There is a long-term increasing trend. Data is from NClimGrid. The average for 2026 was 61.7°F.

Moneris processes about 1/3 of all Canadian card transactions. We all know what happens when private equity buys something - prices go up. So look for increases in merchant fees that will inevitably trickle down to you the consumer 😡

🚨ATTENTION CANADIANS🚨 Sign the petition to STOP 🛑 RBC and BMO from selling Monaris to a US company. That’s ALL our transaction history and personal information being made available to a country that is actively conspiring to crash our economy. 🔗 Petition e-7712: www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

🚨 Ocean temperatures continue to rise. Last month saw the hottest average global sea surface temperature on record for the month of August. Remember, human-caused climate change is the key reason for these new records. Data from NOAA ERSSTv6. I guess next month I will adjust that upper y-axis limit

Green line graph time series of average sea surface temperature anomalies for each August from 1900 through 2026. There is large interannual variability, but an overall long-term increasing trend. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1981-2010 baseline.

We had the opportunity to limit catastrophic damage to a 1.5 degree increase but that meant calling on the oil giants to do their part. Canada is now predicting a 3.5 to 5 degrees increase. That will spell the end of civilization. And we are still going all in on a $100 billion pipeline?

Hugely wishful thinking If emissions peak by 2040 and fall rapidly, research shows we might get away with 'just' a reprise of the Pliocene ~ 3C higher temperatures and sea level eventually 15 - 25m higher If they don't, it will be worse - much worse www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Global heating will hit at least 1.8C, UN warns, and there are ‘no good outcomes’

But scientists say the world could get back to 1.5C through deep, rapid emissions cuts and removing carbon from the atmosphere

And we have a new all-time record warm *absolute* temperature for the oceans, according to ERA5 (which goes back to 1940): August 21st likely marked the warmest Sea Surface Temperatures have been for the entire Holocene period. Should be major news!
