“‘It’s not logging anymore, it’s just deforestation’ The big clearcut that looms over Wynndel was logged years ago by Mike Jenks, who has earned a notorious reputation among some B.C. communities for clearing forests on private land.” #WaterIsLife thenarwhal.ca/kootenay-log...

They say "change comes from within" and how could it be more true than with our good friends at #Greengate & their incredible #EnergyTransition work right here in Alberta showing leadership to the rest of Canada? greengatepower.com #abpoli #cdnpoli #Renewables #EnergyTransition #CleanEnergy #Climate

#Adaptation absent #Mitigation is a guaranteed failure and Alberta will burn. #Resilience has become a buzz word for status quo #FossilFuel use rather than the necessary phase out. #BowValley #Jasper #abpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The Columbia Spectator is ahead of NYC’s msm in covering the campaign to get @BradLander.bsky.social to move NYC’s pension funds from dirtier to cleaner money managers. If he does it, it’ll be huge in climate change policy & finance. Kudos to student news! www.columbiaspectator.com/news/2025/02...

Scientists have found enormous columns of methane gas leaking into the atmosphere from Antarctica, with the potential for further leaks amounting to the sum total of what humanity emits over two years. By @manuelansede.bsky.social for El País…

March 11 National Day of Action against Nuclear Power 14 years since the terrible nuclear disaster in Fukushima. The impacts of this event are felt to this day with people still displaced & contaminated liquid being routinely dumped in the Pacific. dont-nuke-the-climate.org.au/fukushimanev...

And what is the City of Regina doing to truly become the promised "Renewable Regina"? We can do better: North America’s largest urban solar power plant takes shape – in Canada's ‘Gas City’ #Alberta #MedicineHat #RenewableEnergy www.nationalobserver.com/2025/02/19/n...

Friday evening timeline cleanse. Rest up. Then keep going.

“far left extremists” to them also means environmentalists. there is a serious concern of their next steps being labeling anyone involved w lists of words including things like “ecology, sustainability or climate” as terrorists—and issuing consequences Benn a goal grist.org/article/the-... 🌎

If we covered it all a little league bleachers in the United States with solar panels, it would be enough to power of the world.

"What the fossil fuel industry has been doing for decades we now see also from the Alberta government, which is fear mongering around price and scarcity so they can continue to drum up support for the fossil fuel industry and for its expansion." #abpoli #Climate #EnergyTransition #CleanEnergy #yyc

A company, JetWind has realized that all that idling force is like the strong winds needed to power a wind turbine, and has built a series of pods that can capture it during the 5-10 minutes the aircraft is sitting at the gate waiting for clearance to taxi. www.goodnewsnetwork.org/jet-engine-e...

"The Alberta government's opposition to growing cleaner, safer energy systems & support for the expansion of oil, gas & coal at this moment in history is ideological. It's certainly not fact based & it plays on people's fear of change." #abpoli #climate #EnergyTransition

As Gernot Wagner said over on Mastodon, Shutting down already installed infrastructure isn't "efficiency," it's sabotage. electrek.co/2025/02/21/t...

A study from the University of Oregon has found that climate news that includes a solutions angle is more likely to influence people to take action — here's how it applies to the Canadian news landscape #ClimateAction #news #media #journalism #Canada www.nationalobserver.com/2025/02/21/n...

Trump to shut down all 8,000 EV charging ports at federal govt buildings

Alberta has lifted its ban on coal mining and is inexplicably fast-tracking new mining projects in some of the sensitive and crucial watersheds! If you live in Alberta, please take a moment to use this tool to send a Direct Message to Alberta's Energy Minister. saveourslopes.ca/directmessage

a new frontier of climate science denial is upon us www.newscientist.com/article/2469...

Periodic reminder that Elon Musk spent at least $250 million getting Trump elected—

Done!

“When New Scientist asked explicitly if human-caused climate change played any role in the record high temperatures, the NOAA press representative abruptly ended the call, saying, ‘I’m not seeing any more on-topic questions from the media.’”

My 2nd 🦋novel entitled - Denial Doesn’t Change a Thing Pincer moves can sometimes come back and bite you in the arse. They stopped the scientists from sciencing. They stopped the scientists from monitoring. They stopped the scientists from reporting.🧵

Clean energy was a record 10% of China's total GDP in 2024, worth $1.9 *trillion* dollars. That's almost as much as the entire world spent on fossil fuels in 2024. This is the economic gold mine Trump wants to take away from Americans. www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-cle...

While the news cycle out of the US can feel chaotic and overwhelming, the facts of climate progress happening around the world are the antidote to pessimism. Read more from Institute president @rjcsmith.bsky.social's first monthly column in Corporate Knight www.corporateknights.com/category-cli...

More business owners need to learn that cars don't spend money, people do.

Correct. City planning in general needs a fundamental reboot.

"The industries ruling our world & the governments that serve them have nothing better to offer us than more bigger, costlier, deadlier disasters & and an increasingly dangerous world for our grandchildren, our children, and even little old you and me. They’ll burn us to the ground if we let them."

A brief history of the Pentagon's relative clear-eyed realism on climate change, now apparently upended by weird children

It's always been crystal clear that the fossil fuel industry sees carbon removal as one of its lifelines, so I suppose it's a good thing they're now saying the quiet part out loud? Though, to be fair, Occidental was always quite clear about this. www.theverge.com/news/616662/...

Our hearts are with the federal employees from the National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service and Department of Interior who were laid off last week.
