LNG is possibly much more dangerous than other fossil fuels. Leaks in the system release methane, which is a much more potent heat trapping gas than CO2.
I predict that in 20- 30 years, we’ll see this is a huge mistake and be fighting to get back off LNG.

LNG Is the ‘Elephant in the Room’ at BC Climate Plan Update | The Tyee
The province’s plan to reduce emissions can be salvaged. But expansion of gas exports needs scrutiny, reviewers say.

Yes indeed. And beyond the BS with fascist 🇷🇺, and despite greenwashing, Toyota is evil on climate: “It has become the largest funder of US lawmakers who deny the existence of the climate crisis… behind the scenes influencing US politics in a sustained attempt to hold EVs from mainstream adoption...”
Toyota Promoted Its Hybrid While Funding Climate Deniers - CleanTechnica
Between 2019 and 2023 Toyota spent over $31 million just on US federal lobbying, the majority of which was designated for climate deniers.

Well fascist Russia is actually incredibly fragile already, and if EU members and other democracies closed sanctions loopholes + stopped importing its fossil fuels, it wouldn’t have the $$ to keep brutalizing our ally Ukraine.
Fascist Russia is much more fragile than its cowardly apologists admit - its epic war losses are accelerating a demographic death-spiral and economic collapse.👇 So it’s incredibly important that 🇨🇦 + allies seize the moment to better help 🇺🇦 by tightening sanctions and hastening Moscow’s defeat.

As Ottawa and Alberta edge toward a new pipeline deal, Carbon Tracker (@carbontracker.bsky.social) warns the plan is a financial trap.
Up to 30% of Canada’s oil & gas value is at risk, and provincial revenues could fall 82% in the 2030s as global demand drops.
