We will only solve our problems, and rid ourselves of monsters, when we accept that *we* created each and every one of them. "Whatever is only almost true is quite false, and among the most dangerous of errors because, being so near truth, it is the more likely to lead astray." ― Henry Ward Beecher UNLESS !!

Daily Mail front page 2026-07-31: "Burnham admits oil drilling can ease cost of living"
So could kidnapping foreigners and using them as slave labour, but we know that's wrong too.
Drilling for it releases the extreme green house gas methane, long before it's burnt for transport etc.
To ease the cost of living crisis, aka the cost of greed crisis, simply tax the rich.

Harnessing solar power has saved Europe €20 billion between 1 March and 15 July by lowering demand for fossil fuel imports.
'Over the 137-day period, solar delivered average savings of €146 million per day. This is more than what France spends on defence each day.'
Meanwhile, #Canada burns, and Mark Carney is trying to drag us backwards and force more tarsands pipelines on us.

"Tell your MP: Canadians can’t afford another risky pipeline & tanker project"
Despite promises that a new west coast pipeline would be funded by the private sector, Mark Carney & Danielle Smith want to spend tens of billions of taxpayer dollars on it, without letting Canadians have a say in the decision.
Instead of spending that money on the actual challenges Canadians are facing -- housing, hospital wait times, grocery prices and clean drinking water on Indigenous reserves, to name a few -- our federal government is bailing out the oil industry again, even as Canada is dealing with floods, heat waves, wildfires and extreme weather.
Mark Carney says Canada cannot afford to meet its climate targets. But what we really cannot afford is to spend tens of billions of taxpayer funds on a new pipeline project that will make the climate crisis even worse.

Economists are warning that a “super” El Niño weather cycle, combined with price shocks from the #IranWar, could cause a severe shock to global food prices lasting into 2028:

"Carney’s plan to sell more oil overseas won’t make life more affordable at home. Instead of tackling the climate crisis and investing in the solutions of the future that Canadians need, he is doubling down on costly fossil fuel infrastructure that will only make life harder for Canadians."

"Canadians need leadership that delivers immediate relief from the climate and affordability crises and invests in a safer, more prosperous future — not more delays and more fossil fuel expansion."

"The agreement with Alberta for governments to own the pipeline and to use taxpayer funds repeats the costly error of the TMX pipeline, which went massively over budget. People in Canada want Carney to come to his senses, to outright reject this fossil fuel agenda and to focus on renewables, affordable electricity and electrification"

David Suzuki: "Small or big, new nuclear reactors are not climate solutions"
Why are so many capitalist forces pushing nuclear over renewable energy? "Centralized power systems are easier to control, monopolize and profit from than systems based on energy sources freely available everywhere. And it’s easier to shift costs of fossil fuel and nuclear power plants to the public in the form of subsidies, taxes and higher electricity bills."
