I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.

Renewable electricity is poised to become the dominant energy source in buildings, industry, and road transportation

This is what authoritarianism looks like

More and more, it feels like the lack of dangerous opposition is allowing Doug to be his most Doug-like self, which is to say, someone who once proposed a Ferris Wheel and a monorail for the Toronto Portlands

At least Fidel accurately quoted bits of my articles back in the day

This was a fantastic listen.

It hammers home the point that we need to plan the transition. Letting the market do it based on profit is a recipe for disaster.

This is why the #greentransition is a national security issue. Opposing it is unpatriotic.

Kristi Noem has used $200M+ in taxpayer funds to pay firms with close ties to her top aides to make anti-immigrant PSAs.

Her luxury jets will cost taxpayers nearly $300M.

Trump's lackeys rail against "government waste," but are happy to pilfer taxpayer funds for themselves.

Have they considered widespread electrification, loans and loan guarantees to solar and wind and nuclear projects, and somewhat robust vehicular mileage standards to compel more efficiency?

Is *the exact model of the IRA* under the rock, or is it just one rock with “Drill Baby Drill” written on it?

Why does the global energy transition look so slow in the headline statistics — even as solar, wind, EVs and heat pumps surge ahead? New analysis from EMBER argues the problem isn’t the transition — it’s the way we’ve been counting it. By shifting the focus from “primary energy” to “useful energy” t The Primary Energy Fallacy finally laid to rest!

Why does the global energy transition sometimes seem slow in headline statistics even as solar, wind, EVs and heat pumps surge ahead?

Just Have a Think unpacks this by diving into our analysis that shows the problem isn’t the transition, but the way we’ve been counting it.

Corporate Media Buries Story of US and Israel Killing 168 in Girls School Attack No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.

It's hard to look at things like this and not see a country headed toward some form of collapse.

The contrast between the US and Canada is stunning...47% vs 92%!!

The reason they’re called human rights is all human beings have them. If you’re talking about the supposed exclusive rights of the herrenvolk you should use another term or just switch to German entirely.

🚨 Techno-optimism reduces willingness to address climate change 🚨

In a new preprint, @maiensachis.bsky.social, @fdabl.bsky.social, and I examined the causal effect of techno-optimist beliefs on the willingness to contribute to addressing climate change.

Billion Dollar Idea: Don’t spend a billion dollars a day on a useless war and instead spend a billion dollars a day making sure people have food and access to good health care.

“It seems like they woke up on Saturday morning and decided that they were going to start a war.”

See our statement on today's announcement between 10 provinces and territories on electricity 📣

Honestly, it's fantastic to see this level of collaboration on building out Canada's electricity

You Shouldn’t Wear Earplugs Every Night (No Matter How Bad Their Snoring Is) Earplugs are great for temporarily noisy environments, but you should try not to use them every night.

The otolaryngologists (also known as ear, nose, and throat doctors) we spoke to agreed that earplugs are a great remedy for temporarily noisy environments but shouldn’t be used nightly. nyti.ms/3OZtoZk

Decarbonization has always been inevitable.

Almost the entire climate fight has been about how quickly we can accelerate progress, and how long fossil fuel industries and their allies can delay progress.

And winning too slowly is the same thing as losing.

This is big.

There's actual research on this: support for wars always goes down over time, and never up. I've never seen support for a war start at such a low level, and it will only go down from here.

US troops were told war on Iran was ‘all part of God’s divine plan’, watchdog alleges Religious freedom group says 200 troops sent complaints of superiors using extremist Christian rhetoric to justify war

Holy Crap!

Canadians Haven’t Given Up on Climate Action. They Just Think Everyone Else Has. - Re.Climate Most Canadians believe it’s not too late to act on climate change. The real barrier is thinking others don’t care.

You're not alone. You're in a *very* solid majority. reclimate.ca/canadians-ha... #TalkClimate #ClimateChange #ClimateSly #CanadaSky
