Same story, but CBC chooses a headline that actually misrepresents the study and frames climate change as a now irreversible problem. The actual study, as AP notes, describes going over 1.5C and how to get back under that threshold.

New from me, in which I invite the federal government and others to abandon the belief that the way to deal with a bad-faith partner who ripped up your trade agreement is another, better trade agreement. Canada needs a reality-based strategy. And a Royal Commission is the best way to develop it.

In order to face the reality of Trump, Mark Carney will have to abandon his magical thinking

Prime Minister Mark Carney has thus far behaved as if President Trump is a rational actor. He is not, and it is costing Canadians.

Nothing against power grid interties, in fact they're needed, but with the Alberta west coast pipeline deal coming soon it's fair to say we're seeing a pattern of the Carney gov timing electricity updates with pipeline updates - presumably flooding the zone to mitigate blow back.

Just to be clear, eliminating the CORE instead of improving it is Carney abdicating responsibility for human rights abuses committed by Canadian companies.

Feds are being taken to court over climate rollbacks. Issue here is actually pretty simple. The Net-Zero Accountability Act requires the gov's Emissions Reduction Plan actually aligns with Canada's target to cut emissions, and it no longer does thanks to the wholesale shredding of climate policies.

Reading between the lines: a fraction of the environmental caucus was willing to speak up (majority unwilling says a lot), but still to keep names private underscores the grip Carney has on the party and the fear most Liberal MPs have of being offside his agenda.

The Feds are being put on legal notice that Charter challenges are around the corner if they follow through on their plans to subsidize new fossil fuel infrastructure like LNG plants and pipelines.

In just one year, Carney has wrecked a decade's worth of progress. The old climate strategy wasn't enough, but rather than strengthen it he dismantled every meaningful policy, stomped on the gas to deliver more fossil fuels, and concentrated power to run roughshod over opposition to his agenda.

Today’s agreement between Canada and Alberta will diversify our exports, reduce our emissions, and give investors the certainty they need to build.   Together, we’re building a stronger, more prosperous, and more sustainable future for all.

The article includes a few of the common discourses of climate delay (and actually specifically calls it delay) including: - whataboutisim/our emissions are too small - emphasize the downsides/cant afford -technological optimism - fossil fuel solutionism www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

But cutting the gas tax doesn't solve the actual problem. It might even make it worse by propping up oil demand. The real long-term affordability solution is to reduce oil dependence. Public transit, remote work, electric vehicles, heat pumps, etc. That's the first way you beat the oil profiteers.

Canada in a nutshell: the Weston’s new media venture Be Giant has an editorial mission to be optimistic and solutions oriented… and today published a story about Big Oil’s Pathways Alliance project that treats the “decarbonized oil” lie as a genuine opportunity. www.begiant.ca/stories/plac...

Canada is attending this month’s fossil fuel phaseout summit in Colombia. Normally this would be a good sign, but given Carney is a fossil fuel expansionist, skeptics would be right to be concerned this might be a maneuver to derail the necessary energy transition other countries are planning for.

The government’s latest energy futures report drops modelling for a 1.5C scenario and assumes Canada remains a major oil and gas supplier for decades to come. More climate denial dressed up as serious analysis to invent a rationale for Carney’s fossil fuel expansionist plans.
