Spot on, as usual, from @doctorvive.bsky.social... "We need to correct a false narrative that the #climate threat is under control. These enormous risks are potentially catastrophic. They would undo the connections between human & ecological systems that form the basis of all of our civilisation"

Droughts keep appearing in the news—but they’re more than a lack of rain. IPCC AR6 shows rising crop loss, water stress & wildfires, especially in low-income regions. We must track all types: meteorological, agricultural, hydrological. #climaterisk #drought

Wildfires are a health crisis, but fossil fuel air pollution causes far greater, ongoing harm. Canada can’t claim climate leadership while expanding oil & gas. Carney’s plan sells out our health and our future. We need bold action for clean energy, clean air, & the courage to stand up to Big Oil.

"This steamrolling of Bill C-5 will come back to haunt us." So disappointed in Carney. Had us all fooled, and proved the adage that the easiest way for a Conservative to get elected is to pretend to be a Liberal. Shame on him, & shame on us for falling for it. YES, we know PP was the worse option.

BC passed Bills 14 and 15, Ontario passed Bill 5, and Carney is trying to pass Bill C-5. These bills speed up resource extraction and development without adequate environmental controls, Indigenous consent, and protecting workers, to ensure corporate give-aways. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Althia Raj has some of the best reporting on Carney in the mainstream press. She calls Carney's Bill C-5 "unlike any piece of legislation we have seen in Canada federally." Bill C-5 will strip all checks and balances on development and extraction in Canada. Carney must be stopped.

The Supreme Court has sided with cruelty. Again. This time, it’s trans kids who pay the price. In this powerful piece, lawyer and democracy expert @importantmeagan.bsky.social pulls back the curtain on the new ruling upholding the TN ban on gender-affirming care, and sounds the alarm on what's next.

Nearly half of British youth would rather be young in a world with no internet. It’s a damning indictment of what social media has become. As its harms continue to grow, governments need to act — but they must take the right measures instead of reaching for easy fixes.
