RE: https://mstdn.ca/@atomicker/117323363484171558 July 2026: 'Eby Trades His Spine for a Pipeline' "British Columbia is at a crossroads — the path Premier Eby offers is lip service to the future and actual service to extractive corporate interests. While the booming clean energy sector is sidelined by this government, fossil fuel projects get subsidies and expedited permits." https://bcgreens.ca/eby-trades-his-spine-for-a-pipeline/ #BCPoli #ClimateCrisis #NoPipelines #NoLNG #BCGreenParty

Premier Eby must choose: climate commitments or fossil fuels
David Suzuki Foundation

Premier Eby must choose: climate commitments or fossil fuels

Premier Eby has a choice. He needs to show he will prioritize climate action over the fossil fuel industry.

"'Just stop burning fossil fuels.' Scientists stress that our smoky skies have only one true fix: https://www.cbc.ca/news/science/wildfire-climate-emissions-smoke-9.7274862 #Canada #CDNPoli #ClimateCrisis #NoPipelines #NoLNG #Wildfires

Smoky skies in Toronto have led to new scrutiny of government efforts to fight fires and manage forests. But scientists say the realistic way to tackle the smoke is fighting climate change itself.

"The science is clear: to avert the worst impacts of climate change and preserve a liveable planet, global warming needs to be limited as much as possible and as a matter of urgency." "Every fraction of a degree of warming matters. With every additional increment of global warming, changes in extremes and risks become larger." It is crucial we act to minimize the damage by "urgently and significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions and phasing out fossil fuels." https://www.un.org/en/climatechange/science/climate-issues/degrees-matter #Canada #CDNPoli #ClimateCrisis #BCPoli #ONPoli #NoPipelines #NoLNG #Wildfires #ExtremeWeather #Drought #Flooding

Wildfire smoke attacks your lungs, heart and brain: Harmful particulates in wildfire smoke travels deep into the lungs, slips into the bloodstream, and gets into the brain directly through the nose. When toxins reach the brain, they can cause inflammation, lack of focus, and headache; long-term exposure leads to brain damage and cognitive decline. https://www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/business/how-does-wildfire-smoke-affect-your-brain-today-and-down-the-road/article_44886cd9-7f31-5533-8ad2-48e912130f8c.html #Canada #CDNPoli #ClimateCrisis #BCPoli #ONPoli #NoPipelines #NoLNG #Wildfires #ExtremeWeather #Drought #Flooding

"The IPCC reports could not be clearer: if we want to hold global warming to 1.5C, launching new fossil fuel projects is completely off the table. It is all about damage control at this point(…). Governments are obliged to use every tool in their shed to stop major environmental harm."

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. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/money/topstories/europe-s-booming-solar-fleet-has-saved-20-billion-in-gas-imports-since-iran-war-finds-new-analysis/ar-AA1ZSFCv #CDNPoli #ClimateCrisis #CostOfLivingCrisis #NoPipelines #NoLNG #Wildfires #Renewables #Solar

Canada fires prompt US air quality alerts as smoke blankets major cities

Smoke from more than 800 blazes has filled major cities from Toronto and New York, to parts of the US Midwest and Great Lakes.

EcoJustice: 'Tell your MP to stop fuelling wildfires' Science shows that climate change — fuelled by burning coal, oil, and gas — is making wildfires bigger, hotter, and more frequent, creating what experts call “supercharged” wildfire seasons. We need to rein in the destruction while we still can. Failing to address climate change is costing us, it’s costing you — from rebuilding after climate disasters to higher insurance premiums for our homes to rising grocery prices due to supply chain disruptions. Enough is enough. Elected officials must put people and the planet first. https://ecojustice.ca/take-action/tell-your-mp-to-stop-fuelling-wildfires/ #Canada #CDNPoli #ClimateCrisis #ONPoli #BCPoli #ABPoli #Wildfires #Pollution #Smoke #NoPipelines #NoLNG

Smoke from more than 100 active wildfires in northern Ontario have made Toronto’s air quality the current worst in the world and caused yellow, smoky air in cities across the north-east US. Environment Canada issued health warnings on Wednesday after the sky over country’s largest city turned a sickly yellow and was ranked the worst in the world according to IQAir, the Swiss technology company that racks global air quality. The city is also suffering a heatwave that shattered a three-decade record after reaching 37.3C in the downtown core, with runways at its main international airport hitting 55C. “Fires are part of a natural cycle, but the extreme temperatures we are experiencing across the county and the growing severity of weather events are indicators of climate change.” #ClimateCrisis #CDNPoli #NoPipelines #ONPoli #Wildfires #Pollution #NoLNG #ExtremeWeather #Ontario #Toronto

RE: https://mstdn.ca/@atomicker/116920113591977974 Reminder: 'The overwhelming majority of the world’s people — between 80 and 89%, according to recent science — want governments to take stronger action. But that fact is not reflected in our news coverage, which helps explain why the 89% don’t know that they are the global majority.' https://89percent.org/ #ClimateCrisis #NoPipelines #NoLNG #ExtremeWeather #Drought #Wildfires

Now 136 of Japan’s news outlets have gone further, joining a public awareness project called “I am one of the 89% who want to stop global warming.” Organized by the UN Information Center in Japan, the project aims “to make visible the voices of prominent figures and people from all walks of life who want to stop global warming, and to amplify them into a collective voice of society.” https://89percent.org/ #ClimateCrisis #ExtremeWeather #Heatwaves #Drought #Flooding #Pollution #NoPipelines #NoLNG #Japan

Inspired by Covering Climate Now’s “89% Project,” every television network and station in Japan this spring began a two-year program of airing public service commercials pointing out that 89% of people in Japan support climate action, “so people shouldn’t be afraid to talk about it.” And talking about climate change is an essential first step towards doing something about it. https://www.thenation.com/article/environment/how-japans-media-ecosystem-is-fighting-climate-change/ #ClimateCrisis #ExtremeWeather #Heatwaves #Drought #Flooding #Pollution #NoPipelines #NoLNG #Japan

Reminder: Mark Carney is trying to give himself the power to greenlight industrial projects like pipelines even if those projects would push species to extinction. The deadline for public feedback has been extended to July 22. "Canadians fought hard for these laws to protect people, water, wildlife, and future generations. The Carney government is now proposing to gut them or introduce powers to bypass them without credible justification or adequate consultation." https://ecojustice.ca/take-action/tell-your-mp-dont-gut-environmental-laws/ #ClimateCrisis #Canada #CDNPoli #BCPoli #BC #NoLNG #ClimateCrisis #NoPipelines #Ecocide

Pacific gray whales are facing a “catastrophic mortality event” as the climate crisis melts sea ice, depletes food sources and leaves the whales to starve -- on top of all the ship strikes, oil spills, microplastic pollution, algal blooms and Russian whaling already impacting populations. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jul/10/pacific-gray-whales-population-climate-change #ClimateCrisis #NoPipelines #NoLNG #BCPoli #BC #Canada #CDNPoli
