Over 40% of global shipping by volume exists to move fossil fuels from one place to another.

A huge share of the world's maritime infrastructure has been built around a system that is going to change dramatically as renewable energy and electrification displace fossil fuels.

Gas Stove Emissions: Indoor air quality & health effects About 38 percent of U.S. homes use gas-fired stoves and ovens for cooking. Combustion of so-called “natural gas” — which is primarily methane — creates many toxic air...

Did you know? The air inside homes with gas stoves has smog levels (NO2) 50-400% higher than air inside homes with electric stoves — often at levels known to cause asthma in kids.

British Columbians want gas out of buildings, cleaner alternatives: poll Polling clearly demonstrates that the higher your knowledge about the causes of climate change, the more likely you are to support climate policies.

‼️New polling shows people in BC:

• worry about climate change (78%)
• want the #BCgov to act more (79%)
• want more oversight of FortisBC to shift away from #naturalgas (61%)

Getting gas out of buildings addresses all this.

She writes: BC’s own source revenue—taxes, fees & royalties—has plummeted from 19.2% to 15.4% of GDP over 25 years. This drop represents $16.8 billion in foregone revenues annually."

#MEDIA: Today marks 10 years since PM Carney’s Tragedy of the Horizons speech, yet our financial system remains underprepared for climate risks and continues to favour investments in fossil fuels over clean energy.

Action is urgently needed: environmentaldefence.ca/2025/09/29/p...

He himselef has been trapped by the tragedy of the short-term horizon.

10 years ago, PM Mark Carney delivered his famous Tragedy of the Horizon speech, warning that our financial systems were underprepared for what was to come.

Here Come BC’s First LNG Shipments. Cause to Celebrate? | The Tyee Boosters ignore that more plants are a risky play meaning higher emissions and gas costs while diverting clean electricity.

The day it opens, LNG Canada will become B.C.‘s largest point-source emitter of #GHG, while increased gas production across the entire supply chain will also add to B.C.’s emission totals.

This and other LNG projects guarantee B.C. will fail to meet its legislated emission targets. Marc Lee writes.
