Canadians know first-hand the impacts of extreme heat; the Heat Dome marked our deadliest climate disaster. Now a report shows heat kills 1 person a minute worldwide. Words are not enough. We need to see action in the federal budget. theguardian.com/environment/20…

"I cannot sit by and let business as usual continue," said former banker Kim Bradshaw, on trial for a 2024 sit-in at a Toronto RBC branch, protesting the bank's continued financing of fossil fuels. Charges were dropped and the judge said "We have to fight for what is right."

People of faith have a role to play in calling on our leaders to show the courage and moral leadership to protect this one, sacred planet. This video captures one recent action in Toronto - on the first day of COP30 - to do so. youtu.be/2ie1ZBN-tqM?si…

UBCIC congratulates ex-cabinet minister Steven Guilbeault for his most principled and impactful climate activism yet. We thank Guilbeault for his powerful rejection of an oil pipeline to the Great Bear Sea, and rejection of the backroom MOU between Alberta and Canada.

NO pipelines! Protect our oceans, wildlife and forests. Respect Indigenous rights. Tell Carney: Don’t ram a pipeline through the BC coast. Sign here: leadnow.ca/campaigns/sayn…

Not one member of this Power & Politics panel believes we are in a climate crisis. All talk about economy and rapid expansion of fossil fuels. None about how to avoid catastrophic global warming to have a livable planet. @cbc knows better, but doesn’t care. youtu.be/0sWc2LZMcUU?si…

“Oil is a leading cause of modern-day war -- with between one-quarter and one-half of interstate wars between 1973 and 2007 linked to oil, an analysis published in the journal International Security said.”

The climate is breaking down faster than we’re told. Existing models are failing. We need a new way of seeing the whole system. This is the All-System Iterative Approach — and how we begin to tell the truth. rogerhallam.com/the-all-system…
