“The solution to this war is how violence keeps on its logics and cosmological accounts of identity, agency, and human isolationism. We will need more than solutions now. We will need cracks.”

Why are U.K. news media not reporting on this?

High-income groups disproportionately contribute to climate extremes worldwide - Nature Climate Change While climate injustice is widely recognized, a quantification of how emissions inequality translates into unequal accountability is still lacking. Here researchers examine how affluent groups disprop...

🚨 Boy, does this look like an important new paper on climate inequality!

"We find that two-thirds (one-fifth) of warming is attributable to the wealthiest 10% (1%), meaning that individual contributions are 6.5 (20) times the average per capita contribution." 🔥

Want to see something really insane? Look at this website for USGS's Water Science Centers and Regions and see how many of their directors have "Former Employee" after their names. Everyone's gone! My best friend from grad school was one of them. Who's monitoring floods, droughts, etc?

#Mathur, the groundbreaking youth-led #climate Charter case brought by 7 young litigants challenging Ontario’s weakened 2030 target, has made history.

Six years in, as we wait to hear whether it will be heard by the #SupremeCourt, we're looking back on how much it has accomplished. 👉 bit.ly/44H1oiZ

To all the people of Carleton, as your new Member of Parliament, I'll work to bring us together. We are all Canadian. We have to look out for ourselves, and we have to take care of each other. Let's get to work.

He did it!!!!! What a steady race all the way to the finish! Congrats to #BruceFanjoy!!!

Umm…this guy was pure gold in the front row of Carney’s speech. Nice collage @moondog23.bsky.social

No sleep till Carleton.

Lifelong MP Pierre Poilievre refusing to step down, but instead pleading to continue leading the Conservative Party and perpetuate his political career (despite losing his seat), attempting to reframe its defeat as a victory on many fronts, etc. Good luck with that. 😉
#CdnPoli, #CanadianElections

And continues to keep his lead with 67% of vote counted.

Bruce Fanjoy is more than half way down the road to defeating Pierre Poilievre in his own riding.

Let’s go, @brucefanjoy.bsky.social! 🔴

#BruceFanjoy holding steady

Getting “the arse out of the vote!” David Cochrane - CBC (didn’t say this phrase in relation to this riding but amazing he said it on national tv!”

Leading by 2200! #BruceFanjoy
