Great piece by Dr. Melissa Lem. "Natural" gas costs our health and our climate. LNG is highly polluting, water-intensive and uses chemicals linked to serious health risks. @CAPE-ACME
From Stephen Thomas of David Suzuki FDN: “Electricity Canada claims that Canada’s electricity system will be unreliable without large amounts of new ... gas ... This is misleading as regional grids without significant natural gas already exist in 🇨🇦 + around the world.” @CAPE-ACME
There's much to say about the mixed climate record of the gov't, but Justin Trudeau Steven Guilbeault + others deserve major kudos for their support of carbon pricing. Pricing pollution is the key ingredient in successful climate action. @CAPE-ACME theenergymix.com/pricing-pollut…
Climate activists have grown notably frustrated with greenwashing & are using legal resources in an attempt to force compliance. They want companies to make changes to their operations, not just talk about it. ccli.ubc.ca/bill-c-59-anti… Ecojustice Stand.earth @CAPE-ACME
"Nature is one of the best prescriptions I can offer my patients." Public transit and time outdoors: two of my favourite things, in one story. Thanks TransLink BC for featuring BC Parks Foundation's #PaRx in your latest blog post. @CAPE-ACME #healthybynature buzzer.translink.ca/2024/08/take-t…

Thanks to Canadian Climate Institute, Canadians can see the costs of climate disasters where they live. Sadly, the costs of climate impacts are exceeding the level of investment in solutions. We need a fully funded National Adaptation Strategy now. @CAPE-ACME theenergymix.com/new-online-map…

.Justin Trudeau response to plea to take more robust climate action in response to #Jasper Fires. We don't need thoughts, prayers. We need: Cap: O&G emissions Phase out: public/private financing of O&G expansion Invest: renewables, community resiliency 📨stand.earth/wp-content/upl…
