Kevin Anderson »Countries make various promises about what they are going to do against climate change. These promises are a disaster and still overly optimistic because they only rely on future generations, our children and grandchildren to develop technologies that we don’t have today.« 🧵3/8

The rumours are true, we’re hiring for three (!!!) new roles at The Narwhal: a B.C. politics and environment reporter, an assistant editor and a membership and operations coordinator! The deadline to apply is Feb. 11. 🧵

The University of North Carolina Greensboro has dissolved the Physics & Astronomy department. A major pillar of science education at that university is gone. I have no words. My heart goes out to my friends and colleagues.

There are huge health co-benefits to global fossil fuel abolition

Maybe we shouldn't have let telecom giants buy up all of Canada's media, only to toss journalists to the curb when things got tough.

It is past time to stop investing in all fossil fuel projects globally

For decades, big oil has been lying about the benefits of their products, about how much they pollute, and about their plans to pollute less. Bill #C372, introduced by Charlie Angus, will ban their lies and the promotion of products that are making us sick

If we want a prosperous and safe future there is no choice but to abolish fossil fuels

Putin tried and failed to murder Navalny quickly and secretly with poison, and now he has murdered him slowly and publicly in prison. He was killed for exposing Putin and his mafia as the crooks and thieves they are. My thoughts are with the brave man's wife and children.

Putin is a coward who murders his critics because he knows that if given a free choice his fellow citizens would never elect him and his obsolete Cold War spook cronies to power

I've said it before, will again: Leash your dog. I have covered horrific dog attacks and EVERY SINGLE TIME the owner says a variation of "I never thought my dog would ..." Toronto has a lot of off-leash parks. You have no excuse.

The fossil fuel industry has damaged Canada to the point that the country has begun to burn year-round. For a decent future we must abolish fossil fuels

Far too much lobbying of government by oil and gas. Hard to believe that the time of politicians, political staff and public servants is best spent this way.

Good luck to all the academic workers on strike at York University this week! ✊🏻

Super cool partnership between University of Toronto’s Dunlap Institute & Toronto Public Library! Great way to get ready for the upcoming solar eclipse we will see in Ontario this coming April! #Eclipse2024

Released by EnvironmentalDefence and Équiterre, a new study lays out how Canada can double public transit ridership by 2035, reducing GHGs by 65 million tons between between 2024 + 2035 = the equivalent of the annual emissions from 20 million cars. nationalobserver.com/2024/02/27/new…

I really worry about Canada. There's a trillion dollar race in to attract investment for the clean energy transition and instead of embracing it, we are missing the boat because of our obsession with oil & gas. The money will go elsewhere folks. It already is.

Truly outlandish. Some places in Europe didn't just record their warmest February on record.... They went on to beat their warmest MARCH temperature levels. [THREAD]
