"Unless the public pushes back, Canadian politicians may soon commit billions more in public subsidies to an already highly subsidized fossil fuel sector with little hope of reclaiming their investment.
Intimidating Canadians into committing tens of billions of dollars to fund fossil fuel projects that have little hope of ever paying for themselves or turning a profit, may do more to destroy Canada’s economy than tariffs alone."

The US president is calling on TC Energy, the Canadian company behind the project, to return to the US to build it “now.”
Getting Australia out of climate denial?

"Solar crushed 2024, but emissions were up as industry used more natural gas"
#German election shows how far green wave has receded in #Europe
#ClimateAction barely featured on the campaign trail before Germany’s federal #elections on Sunday – except when right-leaning parties used it to swipe at the Greens. #Merz’s jab was at the tamer end of attacks aimed at the Green party candidate, Robert #Habeck, the #economy and #climate minister who pushed through an unpopular law to promote clean heating, but is a sign of how far the political conversation around #climate action has shifted.
Centre-right and far-right politicians have accused the Greens of turning Germany into an “eco-dictatorship” for policies that limit the burning of #FossilFuels or require the public to change their behaviour. In a fiery speech the day before the election, Merz said he would do politics “for the majority who can think straight, and who also have all their marbles … and not for any green and leftwing nutcases”.
Representatives of nearly 200 countries are gathering to continue fraught negotiations on the timing and content of the U.N.'s next blockbuster assessment of global warming science. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2025/02/24/climate-change/nations-un-climate-science-report/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #climatechange #un #climatechange #oil #gas #coal #fossilfuels
My Interview with the Calgary Climate Hub
I had a great chat with Steve Bentley of the Calgary Climate Hub. We talked about the highs and lows of #COP28, including the need to phase-out #FossilFuels.

Action on global warming from toxic fossil fuel pollution:
Economist: The solution to global warming is for consumers to reduce their carbon footprint. If consumers care about stopping global warming, they will pay a premium for lower emissions products and let the free market take care of the rest. Governments shouldn't pick winners, let the market decide.
Consumer: I'm playing my part by reducing my carbon footprint! I just bought a bike, installed solar panels, and went vegan. It's a small impact, but every little bit helps!
Fossil fuel CEO: To grow our profits, we're investing in new oil wells. We're also donating millions to think tanks that spread climate denial, plus lobbyists, plus donations to politicians that favour our industry. And a new plastics factory too. Also, global warming is the fault of consumers for not reducing their carbon footprint and not recycling enough.
Silicon Valley VC: We're investing billions in new blockchain and LLM startups. These will require massive new data centres, with thousands of servers and GPUs. We're reopening old fossil fuel generators and building new ones to power and cool these data centres. Also, our algorithms will promote climate denial content.
