Climate myths on social media contribute to confusion and could slow down action. It’s not a lot but I made this little meme to share on social media, to fight back with evidence-backed info! Feel free to share! #climatechange #climatedenial @skepticalscience.bsky.social

This breaks some people’s brains.
In most cities, Costco stores fuel sprawl & car dependency.
In Vancouver, our full-sized downtown Costco has residential towers above & a skytrain station next door. LOTS of customers don’t drive to it.
We live a block from it. We call it “the convenience store.”

Protected cycle lanes =/= Painted lines
Physical separation between cyclists, pedestrians and motorists key to safer streets, research shows
The study also found that bad behaviour is the biggest contributing factor towards streets hostile to walking and wheeling

One of the biggest microplastic pollution sources isn’t straws or grocery bags – it’s your tires
Rain storms wash those tire shards into streams and ultimately into lakes and oceans. That’s bad news for fish and other aquatic life.

This is good —the Mayor of Yellowknife NWT in Canada’s far north weighs in on “Car Bloat” (truck bloat actually) and its many big costs & consequences (thanks @davidzipper.bsky.social for heads-up). And like most who dare tell the truth about that, he’s taking flack.

If we go with the analogy of brakes having been 'slammed', then global emissions would be decreasing 📉
Instead, they have increased since the Paris Agreement was signed 📈
We've "slightly taken our foot off the gas."
We don't do ourselves any favours by pretending otherwise.

Growth in global carbon emissions has slowed to just 0.32 per cent a year in the decade since the Paris Agreement was signed in late 2015, shows @eciu.net analysis:

Every year, billions of vehicles worldwide shed an estimated 6 million tonnes of tire fragments. These tiny flakes of plastic, generated by normal driving, account for 28% of microplastics entering the environment globally.
Heavy vehicles eg SUVs/EVs especially.

Car tyres shed a quarter of all microplastics in the environment – urgent action is needed
Tiny flakes of plastic, generated by the wear and tear of normal driving, eventually accumulate in the soil, in rivers and lakes, and even in our food.

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory?
Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

Remember this picture, & others like it, every time you hear someone in your city say "we're not Amsterdam."
This was #Amsterdam in the 1970s.
Many of the cities we admire made better choices regarding cars in the past. and are still making better choices today.
Better choices instead of excuses.
