"Communicating fire" - this is what climate communicators must do. I highly recommend John Vaillant's brilliant 'Fire Weather.' Beyond the story, the subtext is clear: more climate pollution = more fire. We need action now. www.theenergymix.com/communicatin...
“Communicating fire” is an apt figure of speech for raising the alarm about climate change and its impacts, but the aftermath of a climate disaster is the worst time to expect a response from the peop...
Canada, we need to talk about the oil and gas industry. Despite all the talk about sustainability, and all the public subsidies, this industry continues to pollute at incredible levels. We need an oil and gas emissions cap now. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/edit...
They pledged to reduce emissions, but so far they haven’t put their money where their mouths are
Oil and gas now accounts for nearly one third of 🇨🇦’s emissions. That doesn’t count the massive amount of emissions from burning 🇨🇦’s oil, gas and coal overseas. It’s time for a cap on oil and gas emissions 🧢 It’s been promised since 2021. We’re still waiting.
🇨🇦 needs to go faster and further in cutting climate pollution. This means a federal oil and gas emissions cap ASAP. We also desperately need the provinces to step up. So many are moving backwards on climate at this critical time. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...
The government is required under the Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act to set emissions-reduction commitments for five-year intervals, on the path to net-zero emissions by 2050
"All studies show that the market is going to shrink. Germany will be driving forward on renewables, and gas demand will decline." This certainly pours cold water on the energy sector's claims about ever-increasing demand for gas / LNG overseas. www.theenergymix.com/germany-wont...
Germany will be looking to Canada for green hydrogen exports, but not so much for natural gas, as the country continues its shift off fossil fuels, the country’s climate envoy told Canadian media late...
Good to see @CAPE_ACME and so many others join this letter to cabinet for the urgent release of the oil and gas emissions cap. Passing the Emissions Cap is one of the most important legacies the federal government can leave on climate change. environmentaldefence.ca/report/lette...
We strongly urge the Government of Canada to release the draft regulations for the proposed oil & gas emissions cap as soon as possible.
So many politicians want to abandon key climate policies in the name of affordability. Has anyone told them affordability and climate action can - and should - be part of the same package? www.theenergymix.com/renewables-c...
The continuing rise of renewable energy could cut electricity prices in half by decade’s end in Spain, where wholesale prices have already dropped after renewable sources were added to the supply mix,...
Check out Canada's emissions trajectory courtesy of the great team at the Canadian Climate Institute. 👇 The good news: coal phase-outs, renewables and industrial carbon pricing are cutting emissions. The bad news: oil and gas emissions are sky-high. We need an Emissions Cap ASAP.
The need for an Emissions Cap has never been clearer. Canada's progress on cutting emissions is being offset by oil and gas - our largest and fastest-growing source of emissions. www.cbc.ca/news/climate...
Good news out of the beautiful province of Saskatchewan. Sask. has pledged to eliminate coal. Renewable projects like this wind farm will help produce clean electricity, good jobs + energy security while protecting everyone's health. www.theenergymix.com/200-mw-bekev...
The Cowessess Nation-led Bekevar wind farm in Saskatchewan is on track to become the largest in the province, generating 200 megawatts of renewable energy, enough to power about 100,000 homes.
