(2/2) It was NOT pragmatic to back Trump's war and yes, it matters what we say: bsky.app/profile/pari...

Again, this isn't about democracy.

This is what our PM chose to put his support behind.

And, because Canada and others endorsed this, Trump is going to go even further...

Every time Western allies justify Donald Trumps breaches of international law, they pave the way for him to do it again, further sending the global system into a downward spiral.

That's actually probably me blocking them to be fair. Not a fan of doing that, but it gets to a point where I have no wish to be unwitting amplifier of disinfo: bsky.app/profile/cono...

I’m not one for climate delayism.

Willing to talk with folks who have been misled. But if you only trust sources that deny heat deaths are a thing [CIS]: www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Or deny climate change [Watt-Logic]: www.desmog.com/2023/06/22/c...

There’s not much for us to discuss.

No they just show grids & batteries overcome renewable limitations

You actively spread myths on behalf of climate skeptics like:

- CIS who deny heat deaths are thing: www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

- Porter / Watt-Logic: www.desmog.com/2023/06/22/c...

Pretty obvious you like fossil fuels.

Listen, you clearly trust climate denial sources more than reliable ones, you cite graphs but without looking deeper into what researchers are actually saying: I.e. renewables can replace FF.

I wish you all the best, and hope, one day you manage to get out of the spiral. Really.

Excess renewables generation did not cause Iberian blackout Excess renewable energy generation did not trigger the blackout that struck Spain and Portugal in April 2025, according to an initial report from the European Network of Transmission System Operators ...

Again it's more nuanced than that: ieefa.org/resources/ex...

Don't think it's irrelevant at all to point out two of your main sources are climate skeptics who dispute the basics of climate change.

And, again, you haven’t proven sufficient demand to justify LNG expansion.

Those on "X were the biggest culprits."

And here again you cite yet another climate skeptic: 'Kathryn Porter (Watt-Logic) previously claimed in her blog that “climate models overstate global warming” and called the UN’s IPCC “unscientific”.'

Again, nothing you have written proves theres the demand for LNG.

Re the Iberian blackout: ieefa.org/resources/ex...

Nothing I've read in your screenshot suggests renewbles are more expensive than fossil fuels.

Nor disproves that paired with battery and grid solutions they are unreliable.

Nothing you've shared disproves the massive overestimation of LNG demand by the CDN Gov.

now I'm sure they're going to claim this was an accident. a sad consequence of where the school was located. this is nonsense.

unless proven otherwise you should assume those children were targeted maliciously.

Coal’s diminishing role in India’s electricity transition | Ember Growing solar and wind in India will lower coal generation and push up its tariffs, making renewables with storage optimal for cost-effective, reliable power

Alright, tried to explain why this doesn't disprove leapfrogging (i.e. the past ≠ the future): ember-energy.org/latest-insig...

Wishing Max the best of luck here.

India is leapfrogging into clean energy. Alberta's separatists should pay attention Sorry, separatists: Oil isn't going to make an independent Alberta great again. If anything, it might be its undoing.

You don't trust The Energy Mix but say CIS - the climate skeptics - might be on to something. Okay ill skip passed that.

Ember, whom I believe you cited above, agrees that India is leapfrogging to renewables

A graph backwards from 2024 doesn't disprove it.

Canada's LNG Touted—And Doubted—as 'Transition' Fuel as Doctors Sound the Alarm Doctors and health professionals are flagging significant health risks in British Columbia and around the world as Canada's first liquefied natural gas (LNG) cargoes make their way toward Asian shores...

Let me get back to the point then at the beginning of all of this. Does demand over the next few decades warrent a build out of CDN LNG? No & certainly not at that scale.

Would Canadian LNG actually displace other LNG?

Unlikely: www.theenergymix.com/canadas-lng-...

The Sierra Club and Natural Gas Have you ever had to turn away millions of dollars? It sounds crazy, but here's why the Sierra Club chose to do exactly that.

I not going to defend that, never have. The U.S. Club doesn't defend it either & cut ties with gas years ago: www.sierraclub.org/michael-brun...

My views here are my own, but for the record Sierra Club Canada is also separate to the U.S. Sierra Club. It didn't support gas & always opposed fracking.

Not, right, about everything? That's not a small thing to be incorrect about, that's outright climate denial. Says a lot about where your arguments come from.

Kinda says it all.

Think you just gave away your actual goal here, friend.

How Canadian LNG Impacts the Climate: Carbon emissions, fuel switching, and cleaner alternatives Producing liquefied natural gas (LNG) in Canada will increase domestic emissions, undermine the global energy transition, and divert resources away from climate solutions. Our expert, Steven Haig, exp...

The idea Canadian LNG is cleaner is highly doubtful and not a significant benefit when it comes to climate impacts.

The idea that renewables and batteries are more expensive 'long term' compared to nuclear and gas is just laughable.

Sorry I get you really like LNG.

Yep, my comment was in reply to your graphs.

It does actually and the fact that you seriously think nuclear is a cheaper option - and actually bought into the LNG is clean myth - kinda says all that needs to be said here.

Short term too: thing with wind, solar, grids, batteries is they're cheap compared to new LNG development, & you can start rolling them out right away & scale as needed. Canada’s LNG projects are reliant on the assumption there's additional years of demand growth left well past what's realistic

Overall outcome of Trump? Countries shifting to renewables MORE rapidly than before. He's made oil & gas more unstable. Any country looking at price volatility, looking at Cuba, is going to ask itself 'why rely on oil and gas when renewables can provide localized energy.'

Bad news for LNG demand.

What helps the separatists in AB are unrealistic discussions on energy that sell a bright future for oil & gas when - factually - there isn't one: discussions powered by bots online that deny reality.

All of Canada needs to work together to build a renewable future, that's a basis for actual unity.

No, we do not. But no one I know who voted for anyone voted for any of this.

LNG is Not in Canada’s National Interest. Renewables are Best for Jobs, Health, & the Economy. - Sierra Club Canada LNG / gas is NOT in Canada's National interest. 72% of Albertans wish to maintain or increase action to transition Canada to clean energy.

Again, full analysis of demand here. Nothing happening is enough to support more LNG export build out in Canada: www.sierraclub.ca/lng-national...

(3/3) Further from CBC: "That's where they're needed more. They're needed in Ukraine to defend the Ukrainian people," Thompson said. "If this war had not happened, then there would be an ability to shift more interceptors into Ukraine and help them in their conflict against Russia."
