Dixit la page d'accueil du Parti Conservateur: "Nos valeurs - La liberté des individus est la valeur politique fondamentale du Parti conservateur du Québec. C’est la liberté qui permet de vivre dans une société prospère et de faire des choix qui permettent à chacune et chacun de s’accomplir."
Commentaire très juste à mon avis: "...le pire premier ministre de notre histoire politique moderne est révélatrice d’une proximité malaisante entre le politique et les médias au sein d’un microcosme un peu trop étroit,.." Et ceci sans parler de la fixation sur les sondages dans le commentariat
The Trump budget once again proposes to eliminate NOAA OAR, which brings you the CO₂ Keeling Curve. In this piece, I argued that the Keeling Curve is a treasure that belongs to humanity as the most poignant indication of our impact on the environment and as a testament to our ability to document it.

New World Happiness Report is out. Canada's rank has fallen to 25th overall (from 6th in 2013). More alarmingly, we're now 71st in happiness for 15-24 year olds.
Anglo-American countries score particularly poorly on youth happiness, but Canada is particularly struggling.
The Ontario government wants to keep Premier Doug Ford’s communications a secret.
It plans to seriously restrict what journalists and the public can ask for in freedom of information requests — including by blocking emails and call logs for top politicians.

The world is entering an era of “water bankruptcy.” 💧 😪
People are now using so much fresh water amid the consequences of climate change that we're in an era of water bankruptcy, with many regions no longer able to bounce back from frequent water shortages. ⬇️
The world is entering “water bankruptcy,” UN researchers warn — draining rivers, aquifers and glaciers far faster than nature can replace them.
With 4 billion people already facing seasonal water scarcity, scientists say the crisis is now one of irreversible damage, not shortage alone.
Major #wildfires are breaking out across the Great Plains right now with a massive heat dome en route - a potentially disastrous combination. Re-upping this gift article as a PSA: www.nytimes.com/2024/03/02/o... @billmckibben.bsky.social @katharinehayhoe.com @dwallacewells.bsky.social

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem.
Thank you.

Looks we are in the same situation at McMaster. All schools closed in Halton, Hamilton and Niagara but the powers at Mac that be have until tomorrow morning to make an announcement. Nothing so far

I am a climate scientist and this is correct.
As the planet warms, storms like the one today are getting stronger… and as the Arctic is warming twice as fast as the mid latitudes, it increases the risk of the “freezer door” swinging open.
