The Arctic is warming 4 times faster than the global average! Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is a threat to the Arctic Black carbon (BC) Nitrogen oxides (NOx) Carbon dioxide (CO2) Shipping emissions are accelerating global warming. On route to shipping decarbonisation... In an effort to reduce black carbon and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, shipping is looking to move away from oil based fuels. However some alternatives including Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), are still fossil fuels. ...but LNG must not be part of the solution. LNG is predominantly made up of methane, a short-lived climate forcer more potent than CO2. ! H H C H H Methane is a dangerously potent greenhouse gas (CH4). It has a warming effect up to more powerful than CO2 over a 20 year period (GWP20). ! ! Emissions from LNG-fueled ships grew by between 2012 to 2018. The pathway of methane emissions from LNG fuel When burned by ships, LNG releases methane and other pollutants into the atmosphere. Additionally, the process of extracting, processing, and transporting of LNG results in methane leakage. These activities can also cause significant environmental impacts including habitat destruction, water pollution, and climate heating. Global heating is speeding the Arctic permafrost thaw The fragile Arctic permafrost ecosystem already under threat from global heating could be reaching a global tipping point. Arctic terrestrial permafrost contains 2x carbon as in the atmosphere. As the Arctic heats up, shallow permafrost starts to thaw. Thawing permafrost releases CO2 and CH4 into the atmosphere. Released CO2 and CH4 add to the global burden of GHGs - speeding global warming. Burning LNG as fuel adds to the acceleration of Arctic permafrost thaw and a potential and irreversible tipping point being reached. Produced by the Clean Arctic Alliance - www.cleanarctic.org and designed by Margherita Gagliardi - September 2024 The alarming rise in LNG puts the Arctic at a crossroads LNG production LNG use The United Sta…

Please speak to your home insurer before #climatecrisis comes for you.
Where I live, flooding from ocean or rain is biggest threat. Nov 2021 #bcfloods many basements in my hood flooded.
Yet, "over-surface flooding" is Not incl. In 🇨🇦 basic home insurance pkg.

BC, Canada, Pacific Coast: Temperature way too warm for January. June lily bulbs sprouted!
First time I'll keep my yard sump pumps installed thru summer. Usually drought. But Incoming El Nino = Torrential rain storms. Over asphalt & dry packed dirt = flash floods.

Do you know your flood risk?
Climate change is increasing flooding across B.C. The choices we make next will shape the safety of our communities and the future of wild salmon.

The dynamic nature of floods is highlighted in this animation using open data from the Radarsat Constellation Mission highlights. NRCan processing data coming out of the Canadian space program that's allowing us to track changing flood extents through cloud cover.

A swollen Seymour River under a Flood Warning — heavy rains and melting alpine snow causing rivers to rise rapidly today taking debris with them.
Flood Watches and Warnings scattered across Southwest BC this Monday morning.

This is 10km up the highway from me. Last night, two vehicles drove around the barricades and onto the highway. They swamped and required rescue from emergency services. Don’t be like them. #bcfloods

The 2021 #BCFloods showed us the cost of delay, but four years later we are still unprepared. "By leaving the [BC flood strategy] unfunded, the province is forcing local governments to compete for scraps through a broken system," writes Lina Azeez @watershedwatchbc.bsky.social. #bcpoli
RIP Castle Fun Park (again) #bcfloods
You know, as a Treaty Seven member, I certainly would consider a pipeline from Manitoba through to BC and down to California to funnel all the rain water from the #climatecrisis. Let #California pay for the majority of it. Let them build treatment plants. 🪶🙌🏽🇨🇦🇺🇸 #WaterTheNewOil #BCFloods
Similar to Washington State, and connected to the catchments there, the floods in British Columbia are only starting to get going: “the next 24 hours are critical for the Fraser Valley”

View of a swollen Vedder River under #BChwy1 between Lickman and Yale Road at 1pm, 11 December 2025. Thankfully it looks to remain behind its dykes but the large logs and debris indicative of the high water levels and power of the current.
