This is the thing, humans can run away or hop in a car if they're lucky, what is a salamander gonna do? Or a squirrel, toad, snake, insect? Get incinerated, that's what.

But that was 2021. What's @mark-carney.bsky.social saying now?: "Canada is gonna be an OIL SUPERPOWER." Nothing says "values" like knowingly torching the future in exchange for access to power and short term gain.
Pick a thing, make that your thing, get to work. We all thank you in advance.
Dr. Jonathan Foley@globalecoguy.bsky.social · last mo.What *actually* works — right here, right now — to address climate change? Here you go. This is the result of thousands of hours of painstaking research and analysis from the Project Drawdown team.
Absolutely. That's why I'm calling the fire near Vernon Eby's LNG blaze.

Lakeside homes destroyed, evacuations expanded as B.C. wildfires surge
VERNON - A wildfire fanned by 115-kilometre-per-hour winds razed homes along the west side of British Columbia's Okanagan Lake, forcing many residents to escape to safety.

I believe tomorrow is the 8-year anniversary of Brookfield bailing out the Kushner family on 666 Fifth Ave with Qatari funds. A fascinating read!

One of the many dangers with AI: it repeats BS disinfo because it has no ability to tell truth from fiction
"To stop Canadian oil companies from overcharging Canadians, government could regulate the price of oil in Canada—and tax windfall oil profits to protect consumers and build home-grown renewable energy." Our latest from economist @jimbostanford.bsky.social breachmedia.ca/an-oil-price...
An oil price shock isn’t inevitable. We can rein in and tax the oil industry ⋆ The Breach
Canadians are told skyrocketing oil prices are the inevitable result of a faraway war. It’s a lie that resigns us to being gouged by oil companies

🚨 After 40 years of research, Brazilian scientist Dr. Mariangela Hungria wins the World Food Prize for pioneering a $2 nitrogen-fixing bacteria treatment that replaces costly fertilizers, saves farmers $25 billion annually, and cuts 230 million tons of CO₂ emissions.
Failure to defend the Canada Health Act is failure to defend public healthcare. It is a very legitimate area to criticize Carney on. This is him showing us who he is and what he cares about, and it sure ain't us.

Food. Climate impacts are moving fast, and we are still going in the wrong direction.
‘It’s too fast, too big’: speed of climate crisis is devastating crops, say farmers
Drought and extreme heat are killing plants, driving up prices while also making some farms economically unviable

Super important case. Canada's Supreme Court says that Canadians can ask a court to review any decisions the government makes, and they can't block it by dropping into statutes a clause that basically says "you can't review this." We're gonna need this one going forward.
Resign, Carney. ⚜️@lalegault.bsky.social · 6d agoThis is useful for C5 @patrickcanning.bsky.social www.canadianlawyermag.com/news/general...

We pay them to do this, with massive subsidies! Which come from taxpayers. = Taxpayer dollars go to super profitable oil companies to fund their burning of our homes and deluding us with disinformation. That's where we are.
- Big Oil has funded climate denial and other rightwing causes for years, with their huge profits - Carney rolled back greenwashing laws - Carney is giving Big Oil billions in subsidies, increasing their profits. = Carney supports / invites Big Oil's disinfo. There is no other rational conclusion.
Patrick Canning 🇨🇦@patrickcanning.bsky.social · 7d agoUnfettered support for big oil is support for right wing politics, because big oil gas funded the Overton window transition to the right over the last 30 years. Russian disinfo supports oil and gas, and the oil economy, whether they support a specific politician or not.
Doesn't anybody sue anyone anymore, or are we all too busy complying in advance?

This doesn’t suprise me at all. It has happened on every social media platform as has been well documented and studied and as you all know with every wave of bots and and blue waves and trolls and romance scammers I’ve been whispering kinda loudly for folks to worry about this…
