As wildfires burn across Canada, the Carney government is plowing ahead with plans to list a West Coast tar sands pipeline as a "project of national interest." Use @350canada@kilogram.makeup's online tool to flood the public consultation before September 18! https://win.newmode.net/350org/wcp #CdnPoli #WestCoastPipeline #NoPipelines #CimateCollapse

"Three Lions Die at Zoo in Tokyo; Autopsies Indicate Deaths Caused by Heatstroke" Autopsies revealed that all three suffered from dehydration and multiple organ failure, and the cause of all the deaths is believed to be heatstroke. Three additional lions remain in poor health and are undergoing treatment. https://japannews.yomiuri.co.jp/society/general-news/20260803-341599/ #ClimateCrisis #Heatwaves #Wildfires #ExtremeWeather #NoPipelines #Tokyo #Japan #Kokusho #KokushoBi

Heatstroke alerts have been issued in 39 of 47 prefectures; officials are calling on residents to remain vigilant for heatstroke, use air conditioners, drink adequate amounts of water, take salt, and avoid prolonged outdoor activities. The extreme heat caused many people across the country to be taken to hospital for heatstroke treatment. https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20260723_05/ #ClimateCrisis #Heatwave #ExtremeWeather #Japan #NoPipelines #Kokushobi #Kokusho

Smoke from wildfires burning in northern Ontario made Toronto the most polluted city in the world on Wednesday. Far-reaching damage from Canadian wildfires caused 82,000 premature deaths in 2023, including 33,000 in the US and 22,000 in Europe. #NoPipelines, not here or anywhere. https://www.theguardian.com/news/ng-interactive/2026/jul/18/the-impossible-choices-of-a-deadly-wildfire-season #Canada #CDNPoli #ONPoli #BCPoli #ABPoli #ClimateCrisis #Wildfires

“It’s not just about having more fires to fight, it’s the risk of operational collapse (…). When two or three fires break out simultaneously, we are forced to make immediate triage decisions.” “In the end, the response capacity is limited (…). When we face these huge fires, these extreme events, it’s like trying to put firefighters on a beach to stop a tsunami.” https://www.theguardian.com/news/ng-interactive/2026/jul/18/the-impossible-choices-of-a-deadly-wildfire-season #Canada #CDNPoli #NoPipelines #ClimateCrisis #Wildfires

"Without urgent action, Canada will experience climate change twice as fast as other parts of the world. Yet Canada has missed every climate target we’ve ever set, and is still approving new fossil fuel projects that will lock us in to future greenhouse gas emissions." https://environmentaldefence.ca/campaign/ending-climate-change/ #Canada #CDNPoli #ClimateCrisis #NoPipelines #Wildfires #Heatwave #ExtremeWeather #Drought #Flooding #BCPoli

Reminder: Mark Carney is trying to give himself the power to greenlight industrial projects like pipelines even if we know those projects would push species to extinction. The deadline for public feedback has been extended to July 22: https://ecojustice.ca/take-action/tell-your-mp-dont-gut-environmental-laws/ https://bsky.app/profile/wcelaw.bsky.social/post/3mquaqkqoqk2l #Canada #CDNPoli #NoPipelines #BCPoli #ClimateCrisis #Ecocide

"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

Replying to @atomicker@mstdn.ca
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

"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. https://www.wcel.org/blog/tell-your-mp-canadians-cant-afford-another-risky-pipeline-tanker-project #Canada #CDNPoli #ClimateCrisis #NoPipelines #BCPoli #CostOfLivingCrisis #HousingCrisis #HealthCareCrisis #NoBailouts #Polycrisis

"Oppressive heat expected across 4 provinces, Environment Canada warns" Record-breaking heat, high humidity, heat exhaustion warnings, polluted air tainted by wildfire smoke. And Mark Carney's response is to roll back environmental regulations and give billions of public dollars to the fossil fuel industry? https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/heat-warnings-central-eastern-canada-9.7267980 #ClimateCrisis #CDNPoli #Canada #NoPipelines
