Humanity heating planet faster than ever before, study finds Researchers identify sharp rise to about 0.35C every decade, after excluding natural fluctuations such as El Niño

Climate breakdown is occurring more rapidly with the heating rate almost doubling, according to research that excludes the effect of natural factors behind the latest scorching temperatures.

BYD just killed your EV argument with a battery that competes with gas engines The Chinese carmaker's new batteries feature a 5-minute charge and 621-mile range, plus a 620,000-mile lifespan and lower prices.

It feels like we get new announcements like this -- more range, more speed, more features, and lower costs -- every few weeks from EV makers.

From conventional automakers? Crickets.

CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.

Wasting my taxpayer money.

He will do it - it will make great TV.

Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy.

What's required is investment in working people — and better wages.

When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.

Remember this.

What problem are RTO mandates meant to solve? There is scant evidence that return-to-office mandates improve productivity, collaboration or service delivery – but the costs to workers are clear.

Great minds Bruce - I was just posting about this without the benefit of seeing your post. He’s obviously bored by his day job and would prefer to be a new product/ development manager.

Way back in time he and brother Rob wanted a Ferris wheel. He has some “out of the box” ideas.

He’s come a long way from Ferris wheels!

Democracy failed.

so is @mark-carney.bsky.social still being a coward and supporting trump's illegal war?

Canada ‘abandoning’ international law with support for U.S. strikes on Iran, say former diplomats Though Canada's approach to Iran has been 'well-aligned' with the United States for many years, Prime Minister Mark Carney's government has been reluctant to condemn any suspected violations of intern...

However one reads the Davos speech, this is correct IMO: Carney is abandoning int'l law in the Middle East, which he can’t even say applies to Iran & which will make it harder for him to claim it applies to acts of aggression in Ukraine, Taiwan &, of course, Canada www.hilltimes.com/story/2026/0...

30 years

Is this what Carney and the government of Canada support?

Lovely.

I don’t know what Carney and Anand were thinking.

Trump and Netanyahu have managed to place targets on their citizens & countries, in a fashion neither are capable of comprehending.

Far too caught up in their personal fantasies of supreme power - power to act unencumbered, as they see fit.

PM Carney best choose his words carefully, lest he

Any country that doesn’t produce its own oil keeps getting more and more incentive to accelerate the shift to renewables, even if it couldn’t care less about climate change.

It’s an improvement- it’s also Abacus.

Lloyd Axworthy: Canada once rejected America’s aggressive, unlawful foreign policy. Today Mark Carney embraced it By endorsing preventive strikes on Iran during ongoing diplomacy, and after Washington itself shredded the previous agreement, we are embracing the very doctrine we used to reject, writes Lloyd Axwort...

"We invoke international law and the 'rules based international order' when adversaries engage in unlawful actions, but abandon those same rules entirely when it’s the Americans doing the bombing."

Vehicle fuel economy and vehicle miles traveled: An empirical investigation of Jevon’s Paradox There has been, in recent decades, a concerted effort to promote energy efficiency as a means to reduce energy consumption. The general thesis is that…

STUDY: Despite conventional wisdom that increases in vehicle fuel efficiency results in decreased gasoline consumption, Jevons’ Paradox holds. For every 1 mile per gallon of increased fuel efficiency there’s an associated 1.2 mile increase in vehicle miles travelled.

Better cars = higher emissions.

Canada Feeds the Crocodile This morning, I keep thinking about Winston Churchill, and the powerful allegory he used to warn that the appeaser is the man who feeds others to the crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.

PM Carney has forgotten the story of the crocodile.
The appeaser supports feeding others to the crocodile in the hope that the crocodile will eat them last.
We are watching horrific violence in the Middle East.
Canada cannot stand with the crocodiles.

I guess they like supporting Elon Musk.

I expect this from the CBC sometime soon.

People are glad we killed someone we had no legal right to kill.

People don’t care how many innocent lives were lost for it.

I’m so tired.

Lots of academics I really respect are highlighting this misunderstanding, which I’ve apparently also fallen prey to.

But there’s an important point here:

What did Carney think laymen would take away from his speech when he spoke of taking a sign out of a window in the face of a bullying regime?

So…Israel has murdered three dozen girls at an elementary school, Trump has declared war on *Iran* and Mark Carney is fully on board because…terrorism? Have we really learned *nothing* from the last 30 years? Never thought I’d miss Jean Chrétien so much 😡
