And probably the single largest climate adaptation project the world has ever seen?

(but it wouldn't stop the wildfires which means it wouldn't stop the smoke)

GOP lawmakers are such morons

Nova Scotia’s forest ban is a test — just not the one some people think Tim Houston is trying to prevent the sort of wildfires that caused death and destruction in his province just two years ago. To some people, though, he's just an agent of creeping climate extremism an...

Nova Scotia’s forest ban is a litmus test on whether you understand the founding principles of Canada and its constitution.

The usual suspects are, of course, failing it badly.

The Trump administration wants to roll back Solar for All funding just as states, tribes, and nonprofits were starting to use it to deploy low-cost solar power — and as the country looks for all the electricity it can get.

The State of the Forests in Canada: Degraded

"These 90s talking points directly contradicted the company's own research into #CarbonPricing as a climate solution & showed how advanced the oil industry was, how it it discovered this solution they thought could really work to fix the problem & then intentionally set out to sabotage that."

Illustration showing the climate feedback loop caused by fires. It begins with increased carbon emissions fueling climate change, leading to hotter, drier conditions. These conditions dry out forests, making them more prone to fires. As fires become more frequent and intense, larger areas burn, releasing more carbon emissions, which further fuels climate change.

The Republican Party in America as well as Canada's supposed "Conservatives" marched in lockstep with the world's oil companies in denying the science of human-caused #ClimateChange & slow-walking if not outright outlawing the solutions, profiting mightily the whole time.

You lit the match /2

I'm Canadian so I'm not sure he's taking my calls. That said Canada's PM keeps talking about building more pipelines so I'll be lobbying him against that disastrous idea as well

I'm thinking I want to turn it into an open letter and send it to these senator's home newspapers

👏👏👏👏👏👏

Great 🧵. #ClimateChangeIsReal

Oh thank you so much. I just needed all of that out of me

A special shout out to the International Fossil fuel industry that conducted a climate study in the mid Seventies then spent billions over the next 50 odd years in lobbying and disinformation campaigns covering it up.

Then blame it on somebody else

Except the first thing they'd do is start a fire

They need to dropped into the middle of one of those forests and see the reality of their foolish ideas.

Electric cargo bike delivery in the Centre-Sud neighbourhood of Montreal.

Possibly Amazon, since this company (Intelcom) does a lot of deliveries for them.

Bike lanes win as Ford and Smith waste time on a losing battle The battle against bike lanes has never been evidence-based. It’s all about politics and the divide between interests of voters living in city centres, who are less likely to vote for Ford or Smith, a...

Ontario's battle against bike lanes has always ignored facts and evidence. Now Alberta is making the same specious arguments. It's high time they both stopped. @adriennetanner.bsky.social writes for @nationalobserver.com www.nationalobserver.com/2025/08/04/o...

🧵 Dear Republican lawmakers,

Canada has the largest intact boreal forest on the planet.

An increasingly hotter world due to #ClimateChange makes longer dry seasons, far larger wildfires & yes, more smoke. No amount of "raking" fixes it. The scientists warned of exactly this for a very long time /1

Geothermal energy is one of those rare win-win solutions The idea of tapping into the heat trapped inside deeper reaches of the earth has been around for decades, and has been exploited in places like Iceland where it’s particularly close to the surface. Bu...

Once in a while, though, I think it’s worth doing a fact check over there. so that falsehoods will not stand uncorrected. I do that despite the fact that I know I will get hundreds of replies like these. (Just a few of the replies I received on the post above!)

Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe · 22h I’m a climate scientist, four-time author of the US National Climate Assessment, and that is not true. Here’s a short and easy explainer of how climate change is indeed loading the extreme weather dice against us: https://youtube.com/watch?v=LT4aZzjbl3w Quote Secretary Chris Wright @SecretaryWright · Aug 4 The ceaseless repeating from the media, politicians and activists claiming that climate change is making weather more dangerous and severe is just nonsense. That is just NOT true.

Secretary of Energy outright lying about the reality of climate change on Elon Musk's hellsite, where for some reason good people, including climate scientists and journalists, still linger, so they told him off. But. Trump has taught the right that you can bully the truth and sometimes win.

#BigOil giant Shell’s PR firm Edelman recently won a media contract at #COP30. Conflict of interest much?? 🙃🙃🙃

Republicans across the country are pushing bills to stop government 'weather modification' “If it doesn't exist,” said Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., a co-sponsor of federal legislation targeting geoengineering, “then you don't have anything to worry about.”

Wherever you go, show me a political leader calling themselves a "conservative" & I'll show you a denier of #ClimateScience who now has to resort to increasingly sillier reasons for the world we all see burning around us. And political stunts like letters to Canada /5 www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

They won’t sit back, ok, but the only cure is climate protection and getting to zero CO2. How are they going to do that with a world full of ignorant, rich old men as leaders in almost every country?

The American GOP’s attitude to global warming is an insult to humanity. It is deeply depressing that we have to share this planet with these imbeciles.
