Insect populations are in freefall. By the time research confirms the obvious, many species will be beyond saving.

The number of insects, bats, and birds starving to death is beyond comprehension. It’s a horror show only those who are connected to nature can comprehend. Ignorance is bliss until the inevitable occurs. Without them there is no us.

"Leave fossil fuels in the ground. It's so simple.This is the most important predicament humanity has ever faced and by design as a result of the enormous oppressive power of the fossil fuel industry, we're flunking it." George Monbiot. No time to waste. #ActOnClimate

🍦Companies logged B.C. forests 170 times without authorization since 2021, records reviewed by The Narwhal’s Ainslie Cruickshank show. The provincial government can’t say how much was improperly harvested and refuses to release details about fines. #bcpoli thenarwhal.ca/bc-logging-wit…

More grief and horror for many in Northeast BC today as BC Hydro floods the beautiful Peace River Valley - 100 km of it - for the #SiteC dam. This is a 100-year-old farm near the Halfway River, going under. Media is nearly silent - why? 🧵 #bcpoli

"Rustad’s comments on Peterson’s podcast are a much more full-throated denial of climate science than he’s displayed in some other venues." It's 2024. This should be disqualifying. #bcpoli

"I can’t believe the collapse of the BC Libs-BCU- whatever they are coincides with the start of the #SiteC reservoir fill. Karma is still a thing." - message just now from a Peace River resident and longtime dam Site C dam opponent. I laughed. Bleakly. #bcpoli

You can now watch Yintah on the CBC Gem streaming service: gem.cbc.ca/yintah The images of RCMP C-IRG violence against Indigenous land defenders peacefully resisting the Coastal GasLink pipeline on Wet'suwet'en territory convey an urgent need to work to #AbolishCIRG.

Woodfibre LNG is a key issue in the West Vancouver Sea to Sky riding and My Sea to Sky has officially endorsed Jeremy Valeriote from the BC Green Party. Every vote counts. 💚 #bcpoli #stopwoodfibrelng #stopfortisbc thenarwhal.ca/bc-election-20…

The Greens lost by only 60 votes in West Vancouver-Sea to Sky last election. It may be that close against the Conservatives this election too. Vote Green. Woodfibre LNG is still a thorny issue in that riding (& for all of us). Thanks Tracey for endlessly fighting this. #bcpoli

Sorry David Eby but I couldn't resist passing this on. We have to laugh at ourselves sometimes. Hopefullly the new government will be a joint agreement between the @BCNDP & BC Green Party. If so the Greens should demand proportional representation legislation in the spring legislature

My Sea to Sky has made Woodfibre LNG an election issue at the local, provincial, and federal level for nearly eleven years now. Now we need BC Green Party and BC NDP to have the political courage to #CancelthePermits. #bcpoli squamishchief.com/local-news/ele…

This is my field of science. Extreme heat, drought & floods, are causing food spoilage, food shortages, food borne diseases, higher food cost, illness, & starvation around the world. California carrots are banned due to e-coli. Avian flu jumped to humans yaleclimateconnections.org/2024/11/climat…

Whoa! Ken Sim & co's motion to remove the fracked gas ban was defeated tonight! PS 1. ABC Van is split! Interesting. 2. This ban won't make new housing more $$$. Price of land is the main cause of that. 3. Fracking gas *costs* BC. It's an over-subsidized scam. #vanpoli #bcpoli

Canada is one of the top ten CO2 emitters in the world. But that's not the whole story. Canada exports fossil fuels to other countries, increasing their CO2 emissions. Alberta is intent on building more pipelines and BC is intent on shipping LNG. It's time to #keepitintheground.

An AP examination finds that the Trump administration's Environmental Protection Agency rollbacks would weaken rules projected to save billions of dollars and thousands of lives.

Logging won’t stop wildfires, it’s making them worse. Clearcuts + plantations are more flammable. Old-growth resists fire. Cultural burning reduces risk. Real fire solutions come from Indigenous knowledge, not industry spin. #oldgrowth #bcpoli
