Big Oil executives under pressure to spell out growth plans After years focused on payouts and discipline, energy majors are being pressed on the longevity of their reserves

Big Oil CEOs: if we say "growth" enough times, shareholders will believe us.

In which the CEO of Canadian oil industry group says we have more pipelines than gas. So obvi, we should build more pipelines...?🤔

OUT NOW: LMSU is back for 2026, kicking off with Summer Book Club. What could be more summery, or summary, than arguing climate policy goes wrong by focusing on managing tonnes rather than transitioning assets?

It’s Time To Target The Political Power Of Polluters | NOEMA We won’t make progress on decarbonization until we rein in the power of fossil fuel asset owners and invest in green assets. Tax and investment policy can help.

My latest on Existential Politics and climate change in @noemamag.com. Climate policy should focus on dollars, not tons of emissions!

This is probably 60% of the content on QAA pod from @annieknk.bsky.social @travisview.bsky.social @jakerockatansky.bsky.social. It is painful stuff, but very important to understanding the world today.

oooh! can't wait to read this!

I wonder how the constitutionalists will feel about this (absolutely spot on) take.

Greenland tensions harden Europe’s push for energy independence Nine countries agree to build joint offshore wind projects and cables in the North Sea

Middle powers btw a rock & a hard place. Canada needs to find new mkts for fossil energy outside of the ahem, fickle, US. EU needs to develop green energy / energy independence.

Energy transition will continue to reorganize global alliances -- if middle powers are smart and forward-looking.

After Decades of Deflection, ExxonMobil Moves to Reshape Global Climate Accounting For decades, ExxonMobil argued consumers, not oil giants, should take responsibility for fossil fuel pollution. It’s now backing Carbon Measures’ accounting scheme, which moves pollution “liabilities”...

yet another example from @desmog.com of how fossil asset owners fixate on "managing tons" thru carbon accounting to distract from the REAL problem: burning fossil fuels.

I write about why managing tons is doomed to fail extensively in my new book Existential Politics (link in bio).

Carney to announce a broad package of measures targeting affordability The federal government will announce a hike to the GST credit on Monday, sources say

Libs gonna lib.

Tax credits will not fix the affordability crisis.

Thank you for sharing this!! It helped me today. And thank you @emorwee.bsky.social for writing it and for all of your work. ✊

Videos From Minnesota Show How Aggressive ICE Has Gotten During Arrests and Encounters With Protesters For weeks, residents have documented the impact of President Trump’s mass deportation campaign and captured many violent confrontations on camera.

At what point do we say that there is a civil war underway in the US?

Also, F- to the NYT for the language "aggressive tactics" but, we knew that already.

Evergreen tweet?

Opinion | The Hidden Risk to the Housing Market

US economy based on a climate vulnerable asset: housing. And insurance industry can't keep up.

But vulnerable asset owners are mostly unorganized & thus underrepresented in policy and politics.

If the US housing market tanks, so does the US economy. Existential Politics in a nutshell.

Between the Board of Peace full of warmongers, Macron's aviators and Lagarde's stone cold walkout from Lutnick's speech, Davos is giving serious Housewives vibes.

Existential Politics A new way to tackle the real politics of climate change through asset revaluation

It is fitting that the new High Seas Treaty #BBNJ enters into force just after Kristina Gjerde's passing. A testimony to her advocacy and an honor to her memory.

What would EU’s €93bn retaliatory tariffs against US cover? Boeing aircraft, bourbon, motorcycles and soyabeans among targeted products if Donald Trump makes good on his threats

can we just have a trade war instead of an actual war?

Opinion | One Year of Trump. The Time to Act Is Now, While We Still Can.

I don't know about you folks, but as the world tips further into geopolitical chaos, violence and lawlessness, I'm finding it REAL hard to feel like work matters these days.

This piece by @mashagessen.bsky.social is a clear-eyed no bullshit take on where we are and what we do. Gift link:

Green Public transit is important, but currently, transport is about a quarter of Canadian emissions.

Canada reaches tariff deal with China on electric vehicles, canola In a break with the U.S., Ottawa will roll back tariffs on thousands of Chinese-made autos in exchange for major cuts to Beijing’s levies on agricultural products and seafood

Carney *literally* choosing between the two great powers on EV tariffs. If ever there was a symbol of how decarbonization policy and geopolitics are colliding, this is it.

Itching to hear a conversation about how we could change our politics to actually make real progress on climate change?

Tune in tomorrow to CIUT 89.5 at 11am to catch my conversation with @greenprofgreen.bsky.social where we chat about her book Existential Politics

I learned so much!

Congratulating ourselves for having a smaller far-right party than EU nations LOL

Opinion: What is Canada’s place in this fragmented new world? When it feels as though the world is falling apart, it is up to Canada to show that a liberal democracy can still deliver for its people

impressively naive take on how Canada should "lead by example" in foreign policy by just...being better?

Awww, shucks. 😊
