In Europe, widespread efforts to lower speed limits have been politically enduring, enjoy broad support.
"Opposition falls from 45% during implementation to just 18% afterwards, while public opposition declines from 37% to 21%."

Some hopeful climate news from @chrishatch.bsky.social,
as leaders from 50+ countries gather to plot a path away from fossil fuels.
Some of these countries, like 🇨🇦, are historic fossil fuel producers, but unlike us, are ready to confront some hard truths

Weaponized victimhood lets them off the hook for life's failures. It means they'll never have to learn, adapt or change if they find someone to blame.
My latest newsletter: Canada's energy industry is either a hyper-competitive profit machine or a vulnerable protectorate forever at risk of collapse -- and sometimes both at the same time. It's bullshit.
Also: my take on an excess profits tax. #cdnpoli

WE NEED MORE THREE WORD SLOGANS!!!
PV providing 589 watts, 345 baseload usage, battery charging at 244 watts.
By 8:15am today solar was generating 70% more than our baseload usage.
On a cloudy day, in England, in April!
Yet again, the AER is making decisions that put the profit margins of oil and gas companies before the interests of ordinary Albertans and the land that we depend on. calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu... #ABLeg #ABPoli #CDNPoli #YYC #YEG @cuym-alberta.bsky.social
3 UCP legislature committee members forced a vote through to deny me, the proponent of #ForeverAlberta petition, Alberta’s largest ever petition, to appear before the committee and speak on behalf of the nearly 500,000 Albertans.
This is another move to assist the separatists.

“Samson said she didn't see the break coming, but that she had no doubts that "something or someone" had pressured the UCP-appointed members to come up with a minority report.”
Another original commissioner member has stepped forward.

I’m gonna be honest. I really wish people would stop bringing screenshots of dumb Twitter posts over here. The whole reason so many people here left that place is to NOT have to read the stuff. We know it’s dumb. We know it’s rage bait. We don’t need to see it here.
Billions of people will celebrate this asshole's death.
Molecules vs Electrons: The Real Energy Revolution
A new global energy system is emerging, one built on electricity. And that shift changes everything for Canada.

Picture of street filled with people when cars are prohibited, with a prominent sign saying “road closed.” Via Urban Truth Collecrive (Also, it’s a street, not a road)
How come they keep spelling “open” wrong?
Does that street look closed to you? Only if you’re a car… and presumably that’s the real problem. #UrbanTruth
This is so good, we wish WE had made it! The history & lunacy of the disinformation campaign around 15-Minute Cities, by 2 “non experts” @iandunt.bsky.social & @dorianlynskey.bsky.social who show how experts SHOULD be communicating. Thanks to the @originstorypodcast.bsky.social podcast. #UrbanTruth
The independent Boundaries Commission consulted with thousands of Albertans before publishing its report.
Ignoring the report is cheating.
Ignoring the report is gerrymandering.
US elites decided, like a school of fish, that climate concern is old, boring, "woke," square, not hip & popular any more. As usual, it was based almost entirely on internal elite dynamics. It had nothing to do with the actual public, which is more concerned than ever.
After Netanyahu's office claimed that Peter Magyar had invited him to visit Hungary, the PM-elected says that he will enforce all ICC arrest warrants once the country re-enters the Rome Statute.
[Hungary will] "have a legal obligation to enforce the ICC rulings and I'm sure [Netanyahu] knows this".
Climate science deniers, funded by oil companies, told people climate change was all a hoax. They lied. They were paid to lie. www.rnz.co.nz/news/environ...
This really is the only answer. Our dependence on fossil fuels must end. For our planet, and for our society.
If a 600-ton excavator can be converted from diesel to electric, pretty much anything can.
And thanks to Dementia Don and the oil crooks pulling his strings, the world is now - finally - scrambling to break decisively with fossil fuels.

This week marks the 83rd anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. We remember the courage of our ancestors in the face of their annihilation.

mRNA vaccines continue to show major promise.
In a small Phase 1 trial led by Dr. Balachandran, some patients with pancreatic cancer (one of the deadliest cancers) reached 6-year survival.
This is why sustained investment in science & research matters.
