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.

You're not alone. You're in a *very* solid majority. reclimate.ca/canadians-ha... #TalkClimate #ClimateChange #ClimateSly #CanadaSky

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.

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.

Analysis: China’s clean-energy exports in 2024 alone will cut overseas CO2 by 1% - Carbon Brief China’s clean-energy technologies such as solar panels, batteries and electric vehicles are helping to cut emissions in other countries.

The solar panels, batteries, electric vehicles (EVs) and wind turbines exported from China in 2024 are set to cut annual CO2 emissions in the rest of the world by 1%, some 220m tonnes (MtCO2). www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-chi...

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.

🇨🇦🔌 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.

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.

A New Wharton Study on AI Warns of a Growing Problem: Cognitive Surrender Casual users should pay special attention

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.

The poll reinforces an important reality-check: while we are hearing less about the climate emergency from elected leaders and in the media, under the surface, the public remains very anxious about the crisis.

‘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

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

Canada is not on track to meet any of its climate targets, a new study says A new study published Friday by the Canadian Climate Institute says Canada is not on track to meet any of its climate targets — not the 2026 interim emissions reduction target, the 2030 Paris Agreemen...

Further confirmation that Canada's far off track from its 2030 target. As I mention here, the models tend to overestimate the impact of climate policies, because they represent an idealized world in which policies are fully implemented and work as intended.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.
