Climate denial and COVID disinfo: the same people & the same ad hominem attacks. As @lewan.bsky.social and colleagues found long ago, it’s rare to find climate denial standing by itself: it is typically part of a much larger set of conspiratorial views. citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/document?rep...

Frankly, this pledge to cancel the industrial carbon pricing system if elected smells of desperation. It is the workhorse of federal policy, it is industry-friendly and it provides policy certainty. Cutting it would upend company plans + a cheap way to reduce emissions. globalnews.ca/news/1108494...

Casual final sentence here, way to bury the lede CBC! "Carney is expected to call an election by the end of the week, to take place in late Apr or early May." If you're out of the country and you want to vote, here's what you need to do as soon as the election is announced ⬇️

William Archibald Spooner (1844-1930) was a British clergyman/educator. He was famous for saying things like "a blushing crow" instead of "a crushing blow." Today, a 'spoonerism' means "a transposition of usually initial sounds of two or more words."

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

I don’t think carbon taxes are the end all and be all of climate policy. But a well designed tax can help. We have one and now it’s going to be killed because it is unpopular (taxes are funny that way) Its replacement should be introduced at the same time We risk going backwards otherwise. 🔌💡

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

He tanked the dollar. Not only are tarrifs going to make things more expensive, a low dollar will make those imports even more expensive. 🤦 The anger against American products will make exporting more difficult too.

The U.S. government spent $710 billion in Trump’s first month, an increase from the same period a year prior. Cost-cutting efforts are ineffective, and job losses are occurring without clear justification.
