βCanada is such a northern country, donβt we want a little global warming?β I often hear.
In a nutshell, NO.
Weβre warming 2x faster than the rest of the world, driving extreme heat, flood, and sea level rise we are not prepared for. The wildfire season started in Feb this year. Feb!

Awesome defense by @wscott.bsky.social using an impressive array of methods to look at emission, cost, innovation, and distributional effects of overlapping climate policies in California. Well worth the trip from the East to the South Bay!

This chart shows annual hours of smoke-filled skies in Calgary from 1953 to 2023.
As the first wildfire smoke of the 2024 season blew in this week, it's hard to convey the sadness it elicited in a lot of folks.
There's a growing realization this is our new reality. And a genuine sense of mourning.

Thrilled to see the conversation in #econsky #energysky and #greensky emerging after the downfall of that other place.
Looking forward to chatting all things energy and climate policy, along with the occasional dog/mountain pic.
