- Reposted by Cat AbreuAt COP30 Canada just got awarded the fossil of the day — first time since 2014 (the harper years). Clear sign of how Carney’s pro fossil fuel agenda and backsliding on climate policy is being noticed internationally.
- Classic Canada to announce a new major fossil fuel project in the midst of the UN climate talks while “affirming” that it’s still “committed” to climate targets it’s not going to meet because of said fossil projects. You gotta laugh to keep from crying at this point www.thestar.com/politics/fed...
- Türkiye and Australia are battling to host next year's climate talks here at #COP30, but their plans for accelerating action are MIA from their pitches! In @climatechangenews.com, I argue climate credentials should be the basis for deciding who hosts #COP31 www.climatechangenews.com/2025/11/11/c...
- PIPELINES ARE SO BORING Can a Canadian leader please come up with some better ideas for prosperity? @mark-carney.bsky.social Trudeau already bought a pipeline, and instead of bringing prosperity, it’s costing us billions in taxpayer subsidies every year. Come on www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

- Oil and gas proponents are celebrating this misleading @theglobeandmail.com headline. That tells me all I need to know about about its implications for Canadian climate policy. Here's what the @climateinstitute.bsky.social's latest report is actually about. www.linkedin.com/posts/cather...

- I’m in New York for UN Secretary-General António Guterres’ special address on climate. He has a hopeful story amidst the chaos and loss of climate disaster. Stick with me to follow his speech, and check out the report his comments are based on! www.un.org/en/climatech...
- The room is packed full of ambassadors from all over the world. We start by hearing about how incredibly affordable renewable energy is. ☀️Solar energy is now 41% cheaper than coal, oil, or gas. 💨Onshore wind energy is 53% cheaper than fossil fuels
- Plummeting costs mean that solar and wind are now the fastest growing sources of electricity in history. 🎯In 2024, renewables made up 92.5% of all new electricity capacity additions and 74% of electricity generation growth.

View full threadAnd that’s a wrap! I leave you with this from António Guterres: “The fossil fuel age is failing. We are in a new energy era where cheap,clean,abundant energy powers a world rich in economic opportunity. But it won’t happen on its own. Not fast enough. Not fair enough. It is up to us.”
- Announcing the Canadian Youth Climate Assembly! 36 people aged 18-25 will assemble this summer to identify what young Canadians want Parliament to do on climate.

- In case anyone is wondering, “decarbonized oil and gas” does not exist, is a complete contradiction in terms, and a dangerous lie that Canadian government after Canadian government has tried to spin under the spell of industry lobbying. How disappointing. www.ft.com/content/17ce...
- A new approach to the UN climate talks. Brazil, the host of the 2025 talks, has appointed 30 special envoys -8 regional and 22 sectoral- to facilitate flows of information and serve as a direct channel for demands to the COP30 Presidency. cop30.br/en/news-abou...
- I'm truly honoured to accept the Brazilian presidency’s invitation to serve as Special Envoy to Europe for COP30 valor.globo.com/brasil/cop30... (1/7)

- The real threat to Canadian national unity is the oil and gas industry and the tiny handful of super elites who hoard all its cash while working to undermine democratic decision-making for their own benefit. nationalpost.com/opinion/a-na...
- Ok I finally made it to bluesky, and I need help figuring it out! What are your tips and tricks? First q: am I correct to observe that hashtags aren’t really a thing? Then how do I find stuff? How did you find this? 🤸
