Great to see #algae recognised - but missing the call to #climateaction
"Forget rainforests for a moment, it's the tiny plants - more accurately algae - called phytoplankton in the world's oceans that take up most of the carbon dioxide we’ve spewed out since the Industrial Revolution" #NoNewOilandGas #EndFossilFuels

As Eby tours India today touting #BCLNG as the solution to their smoggy skies, reality is much —much— different. He appears to be selling gas to a country that is actively leaving it.
"Coal use declined in both countries even as electricity demand continued to rise”
" non-fossil energy sources grew fast enough in both countries to meet rising electricity demand.”
https://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/news/india-china-coal-power-renewables-b2899298.html
And from this article:
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/india-solar-one-bengaluru-new-delhi-b2761414.html
"Renewable energy is now the most economical option.
Solar is now half the cost of power from new coal-powered plants. Shah added that dropping costs for energy storage, in the form of batteries, means that renewable power will be the “new normal," even when the sun doesn't shine”
Neither of these articles even mention natural gas.
A quick look at the "Electricity Sector in India" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_sector_in_India ) shows that the absolute amount of electricity generated by Natural Gas in India has dropped from 93TWh in 2011-12, to 56.6TWh in 24-25.
At the same time, *just* Solar has gone from 4.6TWh in 2014-15 (the first year with separate numbers) to 144TWh in 24-25? Renewables in total including traditional Hydro have gone from 181-403TWh.
Who is BC actually selling LNG to?

"For scientists it is unequivocal: humans are to blame. All this is entirely consistent with predictions and repeated warnings. The only surprise is the speed of the change. Climate change is here. It is terrifying and it is just the beginning.
The era of global warming has ended.
The era of #GlobalBoiling has arrived.
The air is unbreathable, the heat is unbearable, and the level of fossil fuel profits and climate inaction is unacceptable. Leaders must lead." — António Guterres

A new massive wind farm is in the works for Vancouver Island! If constructed (slated for completion in 2031), it will be the largest power source on the Island. At 197MW it will be larger than the John Hartt dam's 141MW.
And it is 51% owned by #WeiWaikum

Terrible: Persecution & slander against Harjeet Singh / Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty (FF-NPT) and other climate activists
😬
(have been following and supporting each other for years)
Sabrina Fernandes (🟦) :
"A warning I constantly make: as climate activists, we must denounce how frames of national sovereignty/interest are used not only to advance fossil fuel operations, but also to persecute and slander climate justice points and advocates.
“cross-verification of filings made by the remitters abroad indicates that the funds were actually intended to promote the agenda of the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty (FF-NPT) within India,”
India is treating a peaceful treaty initiative as a security threat and judicial threat.
As one of the champions of the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty initiative, I see this with grave concern. The treaty initiative is careful, follows diplomatic routes and intends to help countries with just transition and prosperity beyond fossil fuels. The point is to cooperate, not threaten.
The Indian government also seems to be pursuing routes similar to Trump’s slandering of NGOs and philanthropy involved in climate (which he almost managed to dismantle last year). To target climate consultants getting money from NGOs that also get money from specific funders is a big leap."

10 Years Paris Agreement
THE MONSTER IS REAL
Don't leave your kids alone with the #ClimateCrisis !👹
None of the world's major economies have a climate plan that meets their obligations under the 2015 Paris Agreement.
This is of course excluding huge parts of our emissions & aspect of equity. Not even then are we on track.

Missing out on offshore wind energy in the windy South Pacific.
Clean, cheap energy is too woke; much better to kill the ocean.

Als nächstes wird die @Bundesregierung wohl eine Reform der Gesetze der Thermodynamik beschließen, damit "hocheffiziente Verbrenner" überhaupt möglich werden… 🤡

Rising Tide 2025 - Newcastle
Second Day of Blockade.
More coal ships delayed, and a lot of committed protesters making it happen. Awesome work from so many people.

Details of the MOU as reported by CBC. Hot Take:
It's a sh_t show of oil soaked hopeium and climate defeatism.
- Shovels in Ground by 2029 *(may this be forever extended)
- Tanker Ban will be lifted if the project is approved by MPO *(Coastal First Nations setting rhetorical fire to MPO in 3-2-1)
- July 1, 2026 deadline for submission to MPO *(OIL CANADA DAY)
- 75% methane emissions cut on 2014 levels from methane by 2035 *(*shaking head* We are VERY GOOD at hitting 10 year targets *shaking head*)
- "both sides commited to net-zero by 2050” (implied via CCS) *(carbon capture and storage? should be Carney Can't Stop -- Emissions)
- industrial carbon price of $130 -- down from $170
*(Oil Industry - Very Poor)
- Alberta exempt from fed O&G emissions cap and clean electricity regulation *(Woop Coal! Let's Mine the Rockies!)
- No private proponents have been announced. *(Hear No Evil)
- No pipeline path/route has been announced. *(See No Evil)

Since multiple Ottawa CBC reporters seem utterly incapable of understanding what First Nations groups are what in BC here are some facts about the Coastal First Nations. It has existed since 2003.
https://coastalfirstnations.ca/about/
"The Great Bear Initiative Society (a non-profit society under the BC Societies Act), also known as Coastal First Nations-Great Bear Initiative (CFN), is an alliance of First Nations on the North Pacific Coast that includes the Gitga’at, Gitxaała, Haida, Heiltsuk, Kitasoo Xai’xais, Metlakatla, Nuxalk and Wuikinuxv First Nations. " Their territories span on the mainland coast of BC from the top of Vancouver Island to the Alaska Border including Haida Gwaii.
@Bundesregierung heute: "Ein hocheffizienter Verbrenner ist ein Verbrenner, der hocheffizient ist." 🤡
Nur um das Offensichtliche einmal klar auszusprechen: "hocheffiziente Verbrenner" sind einfach Bullshit, und das sollte man auch genau so sagen.
(Klar, das ist nicht die Position der Bundesregierung, die will uns diesen Bullshit ja als sinnvolle Politik verkaufen, - was einfach FALSCH ist.)
"Ein hocheffizienter Verbrenner ist ein Verbrenner, der hocheffizient ist."
Hier der ganze Zusammenhang aus der heutigen Pressekonferenz der @Bundesregierung, von Tilo Jung.
Schaut es euch nur an, wenn ihr euch zutraut, diesen extremen Bullshit ertragen zu können...
