Canadians Haven’t Given Up on Climate Action. They Just Think Everyone Else Has. - Re.Climate
Most Canadians believe it’s not too late to act on climate change. The real barrier is thinking others don’t care.

Major threats to our well being from climate change can be avoided, or hugely reduced, by rapid action. Our Nature comment calls for a global risk assessment, effectively communicated to governments, the media and the public, to make clear what is at stake. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
We need a global assessment of avoidable climate-change risks
To understand the urgency of emissions reductions, policymakers and citizens need a full analysis of what is at stake.

🇨🇦🔌 A massive 33-turbine wind farm—one of the largest clean energy projects in Nova Scotia—could soon power more than 50,000 homes while cutting 1.5% of the province's emissions annually.
Nova Scotians will soon have another choice of electricity provider
There have been complaints for years that Nova Scotia Power controls a monopoly over the province’s energy supply – but that is about to change.

Yes! There are so many more options for 'projects of national interest' than pipelines and LNG. Canadians want solutions - better homes, a clean and connected grid, and an expanded EV charging network, among others. Let's get to work. @cape-acme.bsky.social
This is a mental war that we have to win. It's not about being a luddite, it's about destroying or retaining the ability to think. It's about how insidious this becomes in a situation where generative AI is adopted and then subverted intentionally. www.thealgorithmicbridge.com/p/a-new-whar...

Peter Gleick@petergleick.bsky.social · 6mo agoI've long argued it doesn't matter if you think #nuclear power is safe or dangerous, a proliferation risk or not, or if we can somehow solve the long-term radioactive waste problem. It's simply too expensive. Massively too expensive. The future is solar, wind, geothermal, and batteries/storage.

Since 1990, Romania has “decoupled” its economic growth from fossil fuel emissions faster than any other European country. Each dollar of economic activity in the country is now 10x less carbon intensive than 35 years ago, and in the same period Romania has slashed emissions by 75%. By Ajit Niranjan
‘The trend is irreversible’: has Romania shattered the link between economic growth and high emissions?
Emissions have plunged 75% since communist times in the birthplace of big oil – but for some the transition has been brutal

Mary Gillis@marygillis.bsky.social · 6mo agoA reasonable discussion about AI would come to the conclusion that this tech is damaging to humanity in virtually every way a tech can be damaging. But I'd rather have an emotional discussion and point out that this tech is shit made by assholes, and it stole from me, personally, so fuck it.
