Thousands Evacuate in Canada as Multiple Wildfires Rage

Massive fires in Manitoba displacing thousands and sending thick clouds of smoke to the east.

Eastern Canadians and Americans underestimate how severe fire risk is becoming beyond the usual western wildfire areas — and how ubiquitous smoke impacts are becoming.

This is phenomenal.

Sea surface temperatures are >5C above average to the west of the UK and around Iceland. It's the strongest area of anomalous warmth on the planet at the moment.

It's the warmest in recorded history for northwest Europe.

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.

Comment: B.C. no longer has a climate plan For years, B.C. has called itself a climate leader. Now, the provincial climate plan is a shambles.

Just found your work - keep it up! I will prpofile it in next week's newsletter for the West Coast Climate Action Network

The same kind of folks who spent years complaining about masks that slowed the spread of disease are now wearing masks to facilitate the spread of fascism

Graph showing clearly that CO2 levels in the atmosphere was flat for thousands of years before the industrial revolution and have now increased by 50% (to over 420 ppm). Over one third of the CO2 in the air is from human activity.

Apparently some folks are still confused about how much CO2 in the air has grown due to human activities. It's increased by more than 50%, which means over one third of all CO2 in the air is due to us.

Bottom trawling is horribly destructive to coastal ocean ecosystems, and deep-sea mining will do the same to the open ocean. #OceanFilm 🌊

@mark-carney.bsky.social When King Charles comes over, can you invite his son Harry to come to Ottawa too, so that they can reconcile? He can't go to the UK because they have denied him security, and the paparazzi would eat his family alive. It would be a wonderfulbreakthrough, if possible

I was a Top Leader at the FBI. What I Saw This Year Was Deeply Worrying. It Should Concern You Too. Nearly 17 years ago, I started my career at the FBI as a Surveillance Specialist in the Washington Field Office.

I believe current (and former) FBI employees may have a crucial role in preserving our democracy.
We need to support FBI, Marshals, and honorable DOJ attorneys.
We should also show support for our judges and pro-democracy lawyers at the courthouse.
Honor our heroes

Poilievre pulling a Trump & Musk & making clear he will cut funding to anything he considers “woke” in federal public service & university research - like anything to do with climate science.

As Danielle Smith made clear, Poilievre is “in sync” with Trump. We can never let him win. #TeamCarney
