🆕 study: Global warming must stay below 2°C and return to 1.5°C as quickly as possible to reduce tipping point risks. In the long term, temperatures must cool to 1°C above pre-industrial levels, researchers from @exeter.ac.uk, @cicero.oslo.no and PIK find.

"A modern-day concentration camp ... People have been killed by the staff here." Irish citizen Seamus Culleton has been in ICE detention since September, despite having a valid work permit and his own business in the US.

James Comer is bringing Hillary Clinton before his committee to testify about Epstein despite having zero contact with him, but not Epstein’s neighbor Howard Lutnick who lied about his connections to Epstein over many years which is proven in the files.

This isn’t some anonymous tip. This is sworn testimony, under penalty of perjury, from someone who said Trump threatened to kill her if she exposed Epstein’s sexual abuse.

This why Doug Ford killed environmental assessments in Ontario. Nothing Doug Ford does stands up. Socially. Fiscally. Environmentally. He is a wrecking ball attacking your children's futures. #onpoli #FordFailedOntario

Even if a Greenlander gets $100k, it could disappear quite quickly if they have to pay for medical expenses.... not a good deal for the individual.

Ottawa Beer Store closures raise new questions about deposits, recycling More empty alcohol containers are ending up in the blue bin, which isn't as good for recycling them as you might think.

Alcohol bottles going to blue boxes & landfills.

Car tires increasingly going to dumps or being burned.

Missed diversion targets, leading to a looming landfill shortage.

The Arctic endured a year of record heat and shrunken sea ice as the world’s northern latitudes continue a rapid shift to becoming rainier and less ice-bound due to the climate crisis, scientists have reported. From October 2024 to September 2025, temperatures across the entire Arctic region were the hottest in 125 years of modern record keeping, the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa) said, with the last 10 years being the 10 warmest on record in the Arctic. The Arctic is heating up as much as four times as quickly as the global average, due to the burning of fossil fuels, and this extra heat is warping the world’s refrigerator – a region that acts as a key climate regulator for the rest of the planet. Changes to polar bear DNA could help them adapt to global heating, study finds Read more The maximum extent of sea ice in 2025 was the lowest in the 47-year satellite record, Noaa reported on in its annual Arctic report card. This is the latest landmark in a longer trend, with the region’s oldest, thickest ice declining by more than 95% since the 1980s as the Arctic becomes hotter and rainier.

Turns out climate change keeps happening even when we decide we don't want to talk about it anymore

It’s simply not possible to overstate how important NCAR is to US and world science. We need to fight this with everything we’ve got.

The entire 2025, guess how many days the Ontario MPPs sat at the Legislature? How many days were they "at their HQ"?

Answer: 51 days!!!

They gave themselves a raise, and then cut their hours!

Laziest government EVER!!!

Doug Ford, what are you afraid of? Young Ontarians vow to see the premier in court The Ford government has officially legislated climate denial. It leaves Ontario with no plan, no targets and no accountability. And it will cost us all.

ON: "if you don’t like our climate target, we just won’t have a target"...

Doug Ford didn’t even have the guts to say it out loud. It was buried in a 200-page Fall Economic Statement without consultation...

Never make the mistake of thinking Doug Ford is working in your interests. He is not. Never has. Never will. #onpoli #FordFailedOntario #FordIsStealingFromYou

Another local connection is that Doug Ford, who has never met a bad idea he didn't immediately fall in love with, has recently enabled the privatization of public water services in Ontario. Corrupt and stupid is a terrible way to run a province.

Also interesting to note is the guaranteed carbon sequestering in the deal. It leads me to believe it will also never be built since this technology is new, expensive and would require significant investment. I don't think you will see a willing private partner.

Against Doug Ford these wee birds stood no chance. Doug Ford the destroyer. #onpoli #FordFailedOntario

Increased reliance on natural gas in Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area undermines emission cut efforts: report | CBC News Emissions in the area were up by one per cent in 2024, according to a regional climate agency's report.

🔌 Ontario's electricity grid is getting dirtier, undermining progress made by home energy retrofits and electric vehicles, finds a new report from @atmosphericfund.bsky.social👇 #onpoli

Why GTA emissions are ‘moving in the wrong direction’ despite electric vehicles, transit use The region would need to see a drop of 11 per cent in emissions annually to reach its 2030 targets, according to a new report.

"Ontario had a 96% carbon-free electrical grid in 2017; it is now only 84% clean."

Doug Ford continues to embarrass Ontarians with his regressive policies. #onpoli

The economic sense is so extremely in favour of renewables now, Pakistan is even paying Qatar penalties to rather NOT deliver the fossil gas that Pakistan already placed orders for, because their Solar PV and batteries make much more sense.

It saves them money to cancel their gas imports and pay!

a detailed map of the Paris Metro and RER (Regional Express Network) system. The map is intricately designed with color-coded lines representing the different metro and suburban train routes, each labeled with their respective line numbers or names. The map is centered on Paris with the various lines radiating outwards, connecting numerous stations within the city and surrounding regions. It includes a legend for the metro, RER, and other transport systems such as tram lines. The map also indicates important landmarks, transit zones, and connections to other modes of transportation, such as buses and the Orlyval light rail to the Orly Airport. Each line has a unique color, making it easy to distinguish between routes.

In Paris, you can get a monthly public transport pass for the city and its surroundings (Île-de-France) for less than 100€/month, and your employer has to reimburse at least half of it.

Screenshot from https://www.planetaryhealthcheck.org/ that reads: "OUR PLANET'S VITAL SIGNS ARE FLASHING RED We have breached 7 out of 9 Planetary Boundaries. The Planetary Health Check 2025 makes it clear: We have to act now." It shows a line graph which goes from green, has a threshold marked "planetary boundary" where it fades into yellow and the another line labelled "high-risk line" beyond which it gets red. There is a blue dot near the High-risk Line which is labeled "We are here"

REMINDER: Our current fossil fueled, growth-obsessed global economic model is a doomsday machine attacking the ability of the biosphere to sustain current levels of diversity.

This is the era where we must win rapid system change or forever pay the price. #ClimateSky

Doug Ford to raise campaign donation limits by 47% and end fixed election dates Attorney General Doug Downey is boosting maximum donations from the current $3,400 to $5,000 in January and tying future increases to inflation.

Doug Ford's power grab continues! His attempt to rewrite election rules is a threat to Ontario's democracy. Thankfully, the courts have already rejected similar legislation for infringing on Charter rights. Time to uphold our democratic values and keep politics accountable! #ONpoli #YSW #Democracy

How is the 2-election long investigation into Doug Ford doing by the RCMP? Or is the rule of law dead in Canada? #onpoli
