Our latest analysis shows that the emissions implications of the Canada–Alberta MOU will depend primarily on one key factor: how the industrial carbon market is updated.

A vivid spring spawning event has transformed coastal waters near Victoria, drawing marine life and attention to a critical moment in the ocean’s annual cycle.
Canada's official greenhouse gas report for 2024 is out today. It confirms what our Early Estimate of National Emissions found last fall.
Canada’s climate progress has been modest and is at risk of going in the wrong direction. Here are some key takeaways⬇️🧵

💯 the gravel is very annoying and a wear on bike parts. Plus, it's a very well-used route and deserves an upgrade by now.
I think the borders are all weird and you're actually correct for the north eastern side - Harriet is one, then Tolime, the Finlayson/North Dairy engage.victoria.ca/neighbourhoo...
Think this one was City of Victoria! Right at the northern border
Oh Victoria. #yyjbike #yyj #victoriabc
I just resigned from NASA. It breaks my heart to leave, but I’ve become convinced the best path forward is to do the best science I can, and that can’t be here anymore. I’m still in love with the promise of those four magic letters. Ad astra per aspera, and remember: Earth is the only good planet.
Outgoing Mayor Anne Hidalgo championed a car-free agenda, leaving Paris greener, cleaner and better for walking and biking. Take a journey through the city to see how it's changed. Read more: bloom.bg/41n0HIF

Solar and wind are growing at record pace, but how fast are countries really moving?
At @ember-energy.org we built the tool to track just that.

Electric vehicles are already cutting 2.3 million barrels of oil demand per day. That's about to double under a business-as-usual scenario this decade. It could go faster if EV sales rise, which there are indications they will at this oil price.

Industrial carbon pricing is not the reason groceries are more expensive.
Our latest analysis shows its effect on food prices is a miniscule 0.1%—like adding a penny to the cost of 2 cartons of eggs.

Trump tried to tank these five offshore wind farms. But after winning their court cases, two are almost complete, and three are on the cusp of major milestones.
@familycycles.bsky.social if you want to rent a cargo bike! IMO best bike store in town by far
NEW ANALYSIS: UK emissions fell 2.4% in 2025 as coal fell to a 400-year low. Incredibly, we used less coal last year than than in 1600, when Queen Elizabeth I was on the throne and Shakespeare was writing Hamlet.

Wind and solar generated more electricity than fossil fuels in 14 of the 27 EU countries last year 🌪️☀️
Two countries reached this milestone for the FIRST time in 2025:

Insured damages from extreme weather events in Canada were the 10th highest on record last year.
Between 2016 and 2025, insured losses from catastrophic weather events and wildfires totaled $37 billion—nearly triple the previous decade. www.newswire.ca/news-release...
Bar chart of global land and ocean temperature anomalies relative to pre-industrial levels. Early years are cooler than average, while recent decades show strong warming, with the highest bars appearing near 2025.
📈Officially, another record year of heat for the planet.
Per @noaa.gov, 2025 was Earth’s 3rd-hottest year on record (since 1850), trailing only 2024 (#1) and 2023 (#2).
🧵Let's dig in a little deeper
If you want optimism on EVs, and the Ford news has got you down, look beyond North America (for now)
As Alberta completes its first full year without coal in its power supply mix, renewables (wind, solar, and hydro) have reached 22% of total generation and natural gas makes up 78%.
"The B.C. government released a 10-year flood mitigation plan in 2024 but it had no price tag, no project priorities, and no timelines"
New intersection Shelbourne & CedarHill X
Protected intersection, with tactile pads
