Nerd alert: Canada's GHG Inventory for 2024 just released. It shows that progress has stalled (emissions down 0.3% from 2023 levels).

Canada is spending billions on LNG projects that will lock us into higher prices and delay real climate solutions.
Apr 13-18 people across the country are speaking up:
❌ No more public $ for fossil fuel giants
âś… Invest in clean energy that benefits communities

In a First, Renewables Beat Natural Gas on U.S. Grid Last Month
Even as the Trump administration creates obstacles to building renewables, a key pair of facts will hold: The U.S. needs more electricity, and renewables are the easiest way to get it.

Canada’s environment department warned climate minister Dabrusin that LNG faced market risks, months after she approved a giant LNG project

Instead of taking policy suggestions from the Opposition Leader, PM Carney should address the root cause of rising gas prices: swelling profit margins of the petroleum industry
A real solution would be to put a windfall tax on those profits & price caps on domestically-produced petroleum products
Proposed LNG power plant in Vietnam gets scrapped, as a result of the war on Iran. Will be replaced with a a renewable energy and battery storage project
I guess policymakers & pundits touting LNG in Canada aren't reading international news....

Canada should listen to the UN Climate Change Executive Secretary
"Incredibly some argue that the correct response to the current crisis is to double-down on the cause of the turmoil – fossil fuels. This defies economic logic and basic common sense."

"Petrostate dynamics take hold not through sudden shifts, but through gradual normalization. Decisions that once would have been contested become accepted. In petrostates, oil and gas slowly poison our politics."
Great analysis from @tzeporah.bsky.social
War-driven price shocks are delivering billions -- $90 billion -- in windfall profits to oil companies while ordinary Canadians absorb the costs

After slashing science funds in government, PM Carney is now cutting local journalism funding & efforts to combat disinformation
Hmmm...where have we seen this before?

Bringing a far right, anti-science, anti-climate voice into a political party is dangerous - and a revelation of where PM Carney has brought the Liberals
Is there any pushback within the party? Silence is endorsement
Indigenous nations call out the Alberta-federal impact assessment agreement as a dangerous abdication of federal responsibility
PM Carney's MOU with Alberta is a horrible deal for everyone except oil CEOs and Premier Smith

Alberta exempts Kevin O’Leary’s proposed data centre from environmental review - despite enormous energy & water impacts

European leaders call for windfall tax on soaring oil and gas company profits, similar to what the EU had in place in 2022

In Nova Scotia, commercial players grew their capacity to generate solar energy by 82 per cent last year
Renewables generated 42 per cent of the provincial utility’s power in 2025

Newfoundland and Labrador’s big plans for #hydrogen dwindle to two projects, while numerous others have stalled or been taken off the books altogether given poor economics

As the feds, Alberta and Pathways are negotiating their MOU, the fossil fuel companies are now saying their CCS project will cost $20 billion, not the $16 billion they initially said it would cost
And they want taxpayers to pay for all of it
www.ourcommons.ca/Content/Comm...
Trying to capture carbon from fossil power plants has been a disaster - most projects have failed, the few that haven't don't meet their targets
Even if it were to work, it would raise bills dramatically: adding CCS to US gas plants could double the cost of power

Think the energy transition isn't happening?
Think again: Renewables surged to almost half of global electricity capacity in 2025
And of course, countries with higher renewable capacity have been more insulated from the Iran war market shock

So data centers will consume tons of energy, raising household bills, and water - and now they'll also warm surrounding areas by up to 9.1°C
But who cares, since they'll make tech bros even more wealthy

BREAKING: Israel's Knesset has passed a law to execute Palestinian detainees.
Death by hanging. Mandatory sentencing. No pardon. 90 days to carry out.
It applies through military courts with a 96% conviction rate. It does not apply to Israelis.
Israel is an apartheid state.
That apartheid now officially includes the death penalty.
Israel has long engaged in mass extrajudicial executions of Palestinians.
It's now official state policy.
BREAKING: Israel Approves Extreme Death Penalty Law Targeting Only Palestinians
Monday’s vote in the Knesset to impose a one-sided death penalty bill on Palestinians will further cement Israel’s system of apartheid, reports @minnahfarshad.bsky.social.

Thread.
Israel passed a law allowing the death penalty exclusively for Palestinians. It was written by the fascist Ben Gvir.
Israel is institutionalising genocide.
Cenovus quietly pulled the plug on its study of the potential for so-called small modular reactors to generate power for the tar sands
"SMRs are not economic or commercially feasible...The capital costs are high, the timelines are long, and technology and supply chains lack maturity"
As April 1st approaches, let’s not be fossil fooled again
Maybe PM Carney once thought that a grand bargain with Alberta and the oil industry was possible. It's now obvious he has been hoodwinked by Premier Smith and her handlers in the oil and gas business.

A very hopeful start to what will likely become a tidal wave of legal challenges against tech giants
