The BC Greens voted against Bill M216, Professional Reliance Act, at 2nd Reading, but the bill still passed to Committee Stage. Because this is a Private Members Bill, the public is welcome to provide input.

As @glenpeters.bsky.social says, we're way off target for any 1.5ยฐC scenario.
To see how far off, each of the red/green bars represents the decrease in COโ emissions during COVID. Even if we achieved that from now until the end of 2030, we would still miss our 1.5ยฐC target by a significant margin.

Nov 18, 2025 - MLA Valeriote on "human receptors" and the health impacts of LNG
When MLA Jeremy Valeriote toured the proposed route of the PRGT pipeline this summer, he learned from residents that they'd been denied a Health Impact Study because there weren't enough "human receptors" to justify one.
Today, he brought those concerns to the legislature in Victoria.

Iโve worked on parking policies in a lot of cities, and every city should be looking at getting rid of minimum parking requirements, while considering maximum parking requirements downtown & around transit stations.
At an absolute minimum though, REMOVE PARKING REQUIREMENTS FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

Wastewater virus signals for Toronto. November 2, 2025. Viral load (copies per mL) about 43. Has not been this high since February 2025.
Hey Toronto: Mask up! Get your vaccines (Covid, Flu, RSV). Big jump in waste water values and that data is 2 weeks old.

Mark Carney is about to announce more of his โelbows upโ major projects.
But under the surface, one thatโs being sold as an Indigenous-led LNG project is actually โ spoiler โ American as hell.
Thatโs not even the worst part!

CBC once again called the Ksi Lisims LNG project โIndigenous-ledโ on the National last night, despite the fact that itโs 100% American-owned by a Texas shell company, Western LNG.
Yikes!!!!!
Anyway, hereโs a very funny video that breaks this down: youtu.be/Lt6Hmp9ndkI?...

The screen grab showing that the views of my Facebook page have increased by over 2000% in the last three days
In 2018, Meta decided โclean energyโ and โclimate changeโ were politically sensitive topics, and demanded that I - a climate scientist - register as a political org to post and boost posts on them.
I refused, and my page has been shadow banned since then. For 7 years. Until this week, that is ๐ณ

For every โฌ1 provided through a Basic Income For Artists pilot program in Ireland, the government got โฌ1.46 back. So itโs being made permanent.
Over and over we see it. It saves public money to provide public housing. And it makes public money to provide basic income.
We canโt afford to NOT do it.

Self-Generation Incentive Program
The Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) helps qualified LADWP residential customers install solar and battery storage systems by providing financial incentives. This program supports clean energy...
This is amazing: @ladwp.com, the Los Angeles utility, has launched a program that will install solar+battery systems on qualifying low-to-moderate-income households, *for free*.
Yes: free.
If you know someone eligible, tell them to apply!

As Dr. Jane โ one of the United Nations' Messengers of Peace โ says, you can look into reducing your environmental footprint.
You can use less water.
You can eat more plant-based meals.
You can help at your local animal shelter.
You can do so much, today on #PeaceDay and every day.
